Besides, the densities of some other metal materials are also worthy of attention, such as:

· The density of pure copper (red copper) is 8.93 g/cm³.

· The densities of pure nickel, anodic nickel, and electro-vacuum nickel are 8.902 g/cm³.

· The densities of zinc plates and zinc anode plates are 7.133 g/cm³.

· The densities of lead plates and lead foils are approximately 11.34 - 11.37 g/cm³.

· The density of tin is 7.168 g/cm³.

· The densities of precious metals such as osmium, iridium, platinum, gold, and tungsten are relatively high, ranging from 16.6 to 22.65 g/cm³.

· The density of silver is 10.502 g/cm³.

· The densities of metals such as molybdenum, bismuth, cobalt, cadmium, and niobium are between 6.237 and 10.22 g/cm³.

· The densities of metals such as manganese, chromium, antimony, zirconium, vanadium, and titanium are relatively low, ranging from 4.507 to 7.47 g/cm³.

 

In practical applications, the density of casting materials is influenced by various factors, such as composition and process conditions. Therefore, when choosing casting materials, in addition to considering this factor, other physical, chemical, mechanical properties, and cost factors need to be comprehensively considered.
