Thallium alloy is very important in industry. The alloy made of thallium has many characteristics, such as increasing the strength of the alloy, improving the hardness of the alloy and enhancing the corrosion resistance of the alloy.
Thallium is a chemical element with the symbol Tl and atomic number 81.
Thallium is a gray post-transition metal that is not found free in nature.
When isolated, thallium resembles tin, but discolors when exposed to air.
Chemists William Crookes and Claude-Auguste Lamy discovered thallium independently in 1861, in residues of sulfuric acid production.
