Metals are used for a variety of engineering purposes, depending on the properties of the metals. Certain common metals have malleable and ductile properties. If a metal is malleable it can be hammered or pressed into a new shape. Copper is a good example of this. It is also can be used for sheaths on electrical cables. Lead, like copper and tin, will resist corrosion.
Tin and wrought iron can be stretched, and also have malleable properties. The former is corrosion resistant, but wrought iron easily corrodes. Wrought iron can be used for chains and crane hooks. Neither of these two metals is a good conductor of electricity.
Cast iron is unlike the other metals because its shape cannot be altered by hammering, pressing or stretching and it is not corrosion resistant.
