Metal to be plated

any metal other than a precious metal (platinum, gold, silver).

Generally a metal inferior in value to gold and silver eg lead, copper, zinc or nickel.

Any of certain common metals (as distinct from precious metals) that are coated or plated with precious metals.

Any non-precious metal, Copper, Nickel, Bronze, Brass, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Lead and combinations of these are base metals often used in the manufacturing of fashion jewelry.

Copper, aluminum, lead, nickel, and tin.

a metal of low value or sometimes called pot metal.

Flashing used at the base of walls to seal the bottom of the metal siding. It keeps pests out of your building.

Metals which are commonly used to alloy gold jewelry, e.g. copper, silver, zinc, nickel, platinum and palladium.

Copper, aluminum, iron, lead, nickel, tin and zinc.

a common or at least inexpensive metal

a metal that oxidizes or corrodes relatively easily, and reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen

Opposite of noble metal. (Not to be confused with basis metal.) Examples of base metals are aluminium, magnesium, zinc, cadmium, iron, etc.

Commercial metal such as copper, lead or zinc. The term was coined to describe a metal "inferior" to precious metals such as gold and silver.

An alloy or metal of comparatively low value to which a coating or plating is normally applied.

metal being welded.

Major industrial non-ferrous metals other than precious metals and minor metals.

non-precious metals used as a core for plating and gold-filled items. Brass and nickel are common base metals in jewelry.

Any non-precious metal such as steel.

Any non precious metal (eg. Copper, lead zinc, nickel etc.).

(a) Any of the more common and more chemically active metals, e.g. lead, copper. (b) The principal metal of an alloy, e.g. the copper in brass.

A non precious metal. For example copper or bronze. All the current coins circulating in most countries (Including Great Britain) are made by alloying 2 or more base metals.

(1) The metal present in the largest proportion in an alloy; brass, for example, is a copper-base alloy. (2) An active metal that readily oxidizes, or that dissolves to form ions. (3) The metal to be brazed, cut, soldered, or welded. (4) After welding, that part of the metal which was not melted.

A non-precious metal or alloy which has a low intrinsic value. Examples are copper, nickel, brass, bronze and aluminium.

the metal present in the highest proportion in an alloy

A collective term used to describe any non-precious metal.

(1) The metal present in the largest proportion in an alloy; (2) the metal to be brazed, cut or welded; (3) after welding, the part of the metal that was not melted during the process.

Non-precious or structurally inferior metal. Metal to form a place for welding or brazing to be performed.

non-ferrous metals inferior in value to precious metals; i.e. copper lead, zinc, nickel

(3) metal inferior in value to gold and silver, a term generally applied to the commercial metals such as copper or lead. (4) a general term applied to relatively less expensive metals such as copper, zinc, nickel, lead, tin, iron and aluminum, which based on cost can be distinguished from precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium) and the alkali and alkali earth metals. See also heavy metal.

A metal such as copper or iron not classified as a noble metal.

The metal from which the connector, contact or other metal accessory is made and on which one or more metals or coatings may be deposited.

A non precious metal such as brass.

Any non-precious metal (e.g. Copper, lead, zinc, nickel, etc.).

Any combination of alloys of non-precious metals used as the base for precious metal plating.

Metal that easily oxidizes or dissolves, forming ions.

One of the two or more metals to be welded together to form a joint.

The metal or alloy that is welded, brazed, soldered or cut.

Also known as pot metal is a mixture of non precious metals. It is frequently used as a base for gold-filled, gold plated or rolled gold plate coverings.

The material to be formed, welded, brazed, soldered, or cut.

The collective term for any and all non-precious metals.

a non-precious metal, such as copper, nickel or zinc

metal alloys used for partials or crowns which contain no precious metals.

Any metal other than Gold, Silver or Platinum.

A base metal is any non-precious metal such as copper, zinc and manganese.

Non-precious metal, such as aluminium, copper, iron and nickel.

A cheaper alternative to sterling silver or gold, base metal is not precious. Common base metals include copper, brass and tin.

A metal (such as iron) which reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen.

Any non-precious metal (usually plated in gold or silver).

Any of the metals on the lower end of the electrochemical series. Examples are aluminum and magnesium.

Any metal other than a precious metal, such as copper or zinc.

Base metal refers to non-precious metals. Base metals include copper, zinc, tin, and lead.
