semiconducting ferromagnetic alloys are the type of bonding that is present in alloys.
what type of bonding is present in alloys?

metal aromaticity in metal clusters is another example of delocalization, this time often in three-dimensional entities. metals take the delocalization principle to its extreme and one could say that a crystal of a metal represents a single molecule over which all conduction electrons are delocalized in all three dimensions. this means that inside the metal one can generally not distinguish molecules, so that the metallic bonding is neither intra- nor intermolecular. 'nonmolecular' would perhaps be a better term. metallic bonding is mostly non-polar, because even in alloys there is little difference among the electronegativities of the atoms participating in the bonding interaction (and, in pure elemental metals, none at all). thus, metallic bonding is an extremely delocalized communal form of covalent bonding. in a sense, metallic bonding is not a 'new' type of bonding at all, therefore, and it describes the bonding only as present in a "chunk" of condensed matter, be it crystalline solid, liquid, or even glass. metallic vapors by contrast are often atomic (hg) or at times contain molecules like na held together by a more conventional covalent bond. this is why it is not correct to speak of a single 'metallic bond'.

high-noble and noble alloysnoble and high-noble alloys used in casting crowns are generally based on alloys of gold. gold is not used in its pure form as is too soft and has poor mechanical strength. other metals included in gold alloys are copper, platinum, palladium, zinc, indium and nickel. all types of gold casting alloys used in prosthodontics (type i - iv) are categorised by their percentage content of gold and hardness, with type i being the softest and type iv the hardest. generally, type iii and iv alloys (62 - 78% and 60 - 70% gold content respectively) are used in casting of full crowns, as these are hard enough to withstand occlusal forces. gold crowns (also known as "gold shell crowns") are generally indicated for posterior teeth due to aesthetic reasons. they are durable in function and strong in thin sections, therefore require minimal tooth preparation. they also have similar wear properties to enamel, so they are not likely to cause excessive wear to the opposing tooth. they have good dimensional accuracy when cast which minimises chair-side/appointment time and can be relatively easy to polish if any changes are required. palladium based alloys are also used. these were introduced as a cheaper alternative to gold alloys in the 1970s. palladium has a strong whitening effect giving most of its alloys a silverish appearance.
