Usage Examples English
  • Copper provides the highest thermal conductivity among non-noble metals and is therefore fast heating with unparalleled heat distribution "(see: Copper in heat exchangers)."
  • The refining of methods during the Medieval and Post-Medieval periods led to the invention of the cupel which resembles a small egg cup, made of ceramic or bone ash which was used to separate base metals from noble metals.
  • The noble metals are siderophiles (iron-lovers). They tend to sink into the Earth's core because they dissolve readily in iron either as solid solutions or in the molten state.
  • Similar sets: noble metals, coinage metals, precious metals, refractory metals.
  • The noble metals of this series of transition metals are not expected to be as noble as their lighter homologues, due to the absence of an outer "s" shell for shielding and also because the 7d shell is strongly split into two subshells due to relativistic effects.

  • This gives extrapolated medium-sized adsorption enthalpies (−Δ"H"ads) of 172 kJ/mol on gold (the radium value should be 237 kJ/mol) and 50 kJ/mol on silver, the smallest of all the alkaline earth metals, that demonstrate that it would be feasible to study the chromatographic adsorption of unbinilium onto surfaces made of noble metals.
  • Type P (55%Pd/31%Pt/14%Au–65%Au/35%Pd, by weight) thermocouples give a thermoelectric voltage that mimics the type K over the range 500 °C to 1400 °C, however they are constructed purely of noble metals and so shows enhanced corrosion resistance.
  • The anode sludges contain the selenides and tellurides of the noble metals in compounds with the formula M2Se or M2Te (M = Cu, Ag, Au).
  • Like the other noble metals, rhodium has not been found to serve any biological function.
  • A nanoscale icosahedral phase was formed in Zr-, Cu- and Hf-based bulk metallic glasses alloyed with noble metals.

  • During electrorefining of copper, noble metals such as silver, gold and the platinum-group metals as well as selenium and tellurium settle to the bottom of the cell as "anode mud", which forms the starting point for the extraction of the platinum-group metals.
  • Noble metals (such as gold and platinum) are prized because they resist direct chemical combination with oxygen.
  • During electrorefining of copper and nickel, noble metals such as silver, gold and the platinum-group metals, together with non-metallic elements such as selenium and tellurium, settle to the bottom of the cell as "anode mud", which forms the starting material for their extraction.
  • It can also be used in combination with hydrochloric acid as aqua regia to dissolve noble metals such as gold (as chloroauric acid).
