How can I sort out different metals?

Posted on May 29, 2010 by admin

I have a big bag of small pieces of metal. I am most interested in finding out which ones are aluminium, but would also like to identify the other metals. I have already sorted the pieces by magneticism. What else can I do?

is this a hypothetical situation, or a real situation? well, aluminum is a pretty light metal, that can bend easily. it is a very light metallic color also.
