Question of the month.The July web site question asked, "As engineers continue to specify light metals (Chem.) the metallic elements of the alkali and alkaline earth groups, as sodium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, etc.; also, sometimes, the metals of the earths, as aluminium. See also: Metal over ferrous ferrous (fĕr`əs), iron in the +2 valence state. Containing or having to do with iron. The difference between ferrous and ferric is the number of valence electrons they contain (ferrous contains two and ferric contains three), which metals for their cast components, how can ferrous metalcasters best improve their marketability?" * 38%--Focus on new alloys, such as CGI CGI in full Common Gateway Interface. Specification by which a Web server passes data between itself and an application program. Typically, a Web user will make a request of the Web server, which in turn passes the request to a CGI application program. and ADI. * 31%--Focus on thin-wall casting capabilities. * 21%--Other. * 10%--Find new markets suitable for ferrous metals.
