These characteristics are observed, with some exceptions, in bulk ultra-fine grained and nanocrystalline metals, nano-twinned metals, thin metallic coatings on substrates and freestanding thin metallic films and nanowires.
The cutting tools of sawing machines may be thin metallic disks with teeth on their edges, thin metal blades or flexible bands with teeth on one edge, or thin grinding wheels.
Special alloys are often used for this purpose, ensuring that the coefficients of expansion match, and sometimes thin, metallic coatings may be applied to a metal to create a good bond with the glass.
In this context metal plastic sandwiches, which are composed of two thin metallic surface layers and a polymer core, represent an interesting group of semi-finished products.
Nanoshells are a class of metal nanostructures consisting of a dielectric silica core surrounded by a very thin metallic shell.
People, and Chrysler's cars, become stylized silhouettes within the thin metallic grids, so that the photograph celebrates the building rather than a documentary moment.
More specifically, guns that eventually would become jewelry, like the thin metallic bands that Ms. Buono and some of the other guests were wearing on their wrists.
The show opened with a navy overcoat with pink embroidery snaking around its front and cinched with a thin metallic belt, styled with grey tailored trousers and flat lace-up shoes.
Handspring, for example, has finally moved beyond its plastic, boxy-looking Palm clones with its release of the Visor Edge ($400), which has an extremely thin, metallic case in red, blue or silver.
In its simplest form it consisted of painting with a pigment containing silver that when fired in a smoky atmosphere (i.e., without oxygen) produced on the glass a thin, metallic film that varied in colour from pale yellow to brown.
However, most research was related to thin metallic film.
