(i) Lightweight, and low density, but the low melting point hinders its use in the high-temperature application. (ii) High ductility, malleability, and toughness with low strength, soft, and low wear and friction resistance
(i) High hardness and mechanical stability at high temperatures because of its very high melting point (ii) Excellent thermal conductivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion, (iii) Excellent resistance to chemical, wear, thermal shock, corrosion, and oxidation
