Entry: base metal

URI: http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/codelist/CommodityCodeValue/baseMetal

In chemistry, the term base metal is used informally to refer to a metal that oxidizes or corrodes relatively easily and reacts variably with diluted hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form hydrogen. Examples include iron, nickel, lead and zinc. Copper is also considered a base metal because it oxidizes relatively easily, although it does not react with HCl. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_metal
