In materials science and metallurgy, a body centred cubic metal structure is one of the three most common patterns or "space lattices" in which metallic atoms arrange themselves, the others being Face Centred Cubic metal (FCC) and Hexagonally Closed Packed metal (HCC).[1]. The Patterns or "Space lattices" the atoms in metals arranged affect the properties of the metals hence their usefulness.

Examples of B.C.C Metals

Examples of body centred cubic metals are chromium & tungsten. B.C.C metals tend to be strong, but ductile.
