SUMMARY
The discussion identifies four metals that can spark when struck against themselves, focusing specifically on pyrophoric metals. Mischmetal, an alloy containing cerium, and ferrocerium are highlighted as key examples. These metals are known for their ability to ignite due to friction or impact. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these materials for safety and practical applications.
