Industry Expertise You Can Always Count On!
are common metals such as aluminum, copper, lead , nickel, tin, and zinc. They are abundant on Earth and thus are not as expensive as precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum. Base metals are employed in various commercial and industrial applications.
Chemically, a base metal tends to oxidize, tarnish, corrode easily and reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen.
