  2. Alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloy

    An alloy is distinct from an impure metal in that, with an alloy, the added elements are well controlled to produce desirable properties, while impure metals such as wrought iron are less controlled, but are often considered useful. Alloys are made by mixing two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal.

  3. Alloy steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloy_steel

    Alloy steels variously improve strength, hardness, toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, hardenability, and hot hardness.To achieve these improved properties the metal may require specific heat treating, combined with strict cooling protocols.

    Aluminium alloy bicycle wheel. 1960s Bootie Folding Cycle. Aluminium alloys with a wide range of properties are used in engineering structures. Alloy systems are classified by a number system or by names indicating their main alloying constituents (DIN and ISO).

  5. Aluminium–copper alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–copper_alloys

    Aluminium–copper alloys (AlCu) are aluminium alloys that consist largely of aluminium (Al) and traces of copper (Cu) as the main alloying elements.Important grades also contain additives of magnesium, iron, nickel and silicon (AlCu(Mg, Fe, Ni, Si)), often manganese is also included to increase strength (see aluminium-manganese alloys).
