Example of a copper alloy object: a Neo-Sumerian "Foundation Nail" of Gudea, circa 2100 BC, made in the lost-wax cast method, overall: 17.5 x 4.5 x 7.3 cm, probably from modern-day Iraq, now in the Cleveland Museum of Art (Cleveland, Ohio, USA) Copper alloys are metal alloys that have copper as their principal component.
Beryllium copper (C17200 & C17300) is an age-hardening alloy that attains the highest strength of any copper base alloy. It may be age hardened after forming into springs, intricate forms, or complex shapes. It is valued for its elasticity, corrosion resistance, stability, conductivity, and low creep. Tempered beryllium copper is C17200 and ...
Copper. face-centered cubic (fcc) (cF4) Copper is a chemical element; it has 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 ...
Brazing with silver-based brazing alloys may require first electroplating the Glidcop part with either copper or nickel. [6] The copper plating can be done with a copper cyanide solution; other solutions may not work. Gold-based brazing alloys like 3565 AuCu and 5050 AuCu, can be used in a dry hydrogen atmosphere.

The name is mainly used in pop-science to describe all Al-Cu alloys system. Aluminium–copper alloys were standardised in the 2000 series by the international alloy designation system (IADS) which was originally created in 1970 by the Aluminum Association. 2000s series includes 2014 and 2024 alloys used in airframe fabrication.
Cupronickel or copper–nickel (CuNi) is an alloy of copper with nickel, usually along with small quantities of other elements added for strength, such as iron and manganese. The copper content typically varies from 60 to 90 percent. (Monel is a nickel–copper alloy that contains a minimum of 52 percent nickel.)
Tin-silver-copper (Sn-Ag-Cu, also known as SAC), is a lead-free alloy commonly used for electronic solder. It is the main choice for lead-free surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly in the industry, [ 1 ] as it is near eutectic , with adequate thermal fatigue properties, strength, and wettability. [ 2 ]
Corinth's location on a map of modern Greece. Corinthian bronze, also named Corinthian brass or aes Corinthiacum, was a metal alloy in classical antiquity.It is thought to be an alloy of copper with gold or silver (or both), although it has also been contended that it was simply a very high grade of bronze, or a kind of bronze that was manufactured in Corinth.
