List of Metal Alloys From A to Z
An alloy is a material made by melting one or more metals together with other elements. This is an alphabetical list of alloys grouped according to base metal. Some alloys are listed under more than one element, since the composition of the alloy may vary such that one element is present in a higher concentration than the others.

Copper Alloys
Copper alloys are metal alloys that have copper as their principal component. They have high resistance against corrosion. The best known traditional types are bronze, where tin is a significant addition, and brass, using zinc instead. Both of these are imprecise terms, having both been commonly referred to as lattens in the past.

Copper Metal
Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a pinkish-orange color. Copper is used as a conductor of heat and electricity,

What are the applications of Aluminum Bronze ?
Aluminum bronze is a type of copper alloy in which aluminum is the primary alloying element added to the copper. This stands in contrast to standard bronze or brass, in which the alloying elements are tin and zinc, respectively. Aluminum enhances copper by imparting oxidation resistance in the form of a thin, tightly adherent aluminum oxide film. Other metals such as manganese, nickel, silicon, and iron can be added to aluminum bronze to further enhance strength or anti-corrosive properties.

Primary Effects of Alloying Elements on Metal Properties
It is very common for alloying elements to be added to certain metals in order to achieve specific characteristics required for an application. The inclusion of particular substances can change many properties ranging from strength to color to thermal conductivity.
What are the properties of steel?
The physical properties of steel include: high strength, low weight, durability, ductility and corrosive resistance. Steel offers great strength, even though it is light in weight. In fact, the ratio of strength to weight for steel is lower than any other building material.

What is rebar
Rebar usually will be built so the metal component is not visible within the structure. Rather, it will be buried within the concrete. It’s usually made with ribs rather than smoothly, allowing it to avoid slippage within its structure.

What is the difference between Iron and Steel?
The primary difference between iron and steel is that the former is a metal, whereas the latter is an alloy. Iron is simply a metal element that occurs naturally on Earth. In comparison, steel is a man-made alloy that’s made by mixing iron and carbon together

1060 aluminium alloy
Alloy 1060 is a relatively low strength, high purity alloy with a 99.6% minimum aluminum content. It is noted for its excellent welding characteristics and formability along with good corrosion resistance. It has excellent forming capability by cold or hot working with commercial techniques and may be welded by standard commercial methods.

Is Aluminium a strong metal?
Aluminum is a fairly malleable metal, so you’re unlikely to find it on anyone’s list of strongest metals. However, it’s certainly stronger than many other materials

Aluminum Metallic Minerals
The main minerals of gibbsite in bauxite are (al203.3h20), boehmite (al203.h20), and diaspore, which are regarded as the same composition of boehmite, but with density and difficulty. Pure aluminum, alumina (Al203) anhydrous oxide, containing 52.9% aluminum and 47.1% oxygen. Bauxite can be as hard and soft as stone or mud, and it may occur in compacted soil (including fragile, re cemented), (pisolites) pellets, or hollow, branched material (tubes). It can be light yellow, pink, yellow, red, or white, or any combination.

Aluminum Metal
Aluminium (aluminum in American and Canadian English) is a chemical element with the symbol Al and atomic number 13. Aluminium has a density lower than those of other common metals, at approximately one third that of steel. It has a great affinity towards oxygen, and forms a protective layer of oxide o

Why Laser Cutting Aluminium Isn’t Easy
When GF Laser started in business, over 10 years ago, the laser cutting of aluminium was something that was quite specialist. Some subcontract laser cutting companies wouldn’t even cut the material because of the fact that it tended to burr and was generally problematic to run
