  • Figure 1. Metal burning experiments in an oxygen atmosphere: (A) aluminum foil, (B) steel wool, (C) copper foil, and (D) heats of formation (ΔHf° (kJ mol−1)) of the corresponding oxides [11]
  • Figure 2. Cooling of metal wires on dry ice followed by straightening. Copper wire (A) before cooling, (B) pressed against dry ice, and (C) straightening after cooling. Steel wire (D) before cooling, (E) pressed against dry ice, and (F) breaking upon straightening
  • Figure 3. Cooling of metal wires on dry ice followed by straightening. Copper wire (A) before cooling, (B) pressed against dry ice, and (C) straightening after cooling. Steel wire (D) before cooling, (E) pressed against dry ice, and (F) breaking upon straightening
  • Figure 4. Shear planes in (A) closely packed FCC and (B) loosely packed BCC structures during applied stress. The length of the “slip distance” is represented by the red arrow
