  2. Amorphous metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_metal

    An amorphous metal (also known as metallic glass, glassy metal, or shiny metal) is a solid metallic material, usually an alloy, with disordered atomic-scale structure. Most metals are crystalline in their solid state, which means they have a highly ordered arrangement of atoms .

  3. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

    The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties.All elemental metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metallic elements; and have at least one basic oxide.

  4. Silver (color) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_(color)

    The visual sensation usually associated with the metal silver is its metallic shine. This cannot be reproduced by a simple solid color because the shiny effect is due to the material's brightness varying with the surface angle to the light source.

  5. Metallic color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_color

    A metallic color is a color that appears to be that of a polished metal. The visual sensation usually associated with metals is its metallic shine . This cannot be reproduced by a simple solid color , because the shiny effect is due to the material's brightness varying with the surface angle to the light source.

  6. Photosensitive anodized aluminum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosensitive_Anodized...

    Upon development [6] and fixing [7] a black, silver-based image is formed inside of the metal. Type 1 photosensitive anodized aluminum is then sealed in boiling water similarly to common anodized aluminum. Sealing hydrates the aluminum oxide surface, [8] trapping the image beneath the anodized layer.

  7. Zinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc

    It is a slightly brittle metal at room temperature and has a shiny-greyish appearance when oxidation is removed. It is the first element in group 12 (IIB) of the periodic table . In some respects, zinc is chemically similar to magnesium : both elements exhibit only one normal oxidation state (+2), and the Zn 2+ and Mg 2+ ions are of similar size.

  8. Physically based rendering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

    A diamond plate texture rendered close-up using physically based rendering principles. Microfacet abrasions cover the material, giving it a rough, realistic look even though the material is a metal. Specular highlights are high and realistically modeled at the appropriate edge of the tread using a normal map.

  9. Crystallographic texture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_texture

    Pole figures displaying crystallographic texture of gamma-TiAl in an alpha2-gamma alloy, as measured by high energy X-rays. [1] In materials science and related fields, crystallographic texture is the distribution of crystallographic orientations of a polycrystalline sample. A sample in which these orientations are fully random or is amorphous ...
