Inconel is a difficult metal to shape and to machine using traditional cold forming techniques due to rapid work hardening. After the first machining pass, work hardening tends to plastically deform either the workpiece or the tool on subsequent passes.
Typical applications include marine, aircraft, architecture, general sheet metal work, heat exchangers, fuel lines and tanks, flooring panels, streetlights, appliances, rivets and wire. The exceptional corrosion resistance of 5052 alloy against seawater and salt spray makes it a primary candidate for the failure-sensitive large marine ...
Ti-6Al-4V (UNS designation R56400), also sometimes called TC4, Ti64, [1] or ASTM Grade 5, is an alpha-beta titanium alloy with a high specific strength and excellent corrosion resistance.
The first 7075 was developed in secret by a Japanese company, Sumitomo Metal, in 1935, [3] but reverse engineered by Alcoa in 1943, after examining a captured Japanese aircraft. [4] 7075 was standardized for aerospace use in 1945. [5] 7075 was eventually used for airframe production in the Imperial Japanese Navy.

National Stock/Supply Code for Manufacturers: An older name for "CAGE code". Also FSCM (Federal Stock/Supply Code for Manufacturers). N&T or N/T or NT: normalized and tempered: A form of heat treatment in which the metal is first normalized (stress-relieved) and then tempered. Compare H&T. NTS: not to scale: See also Engineering drawing > Scale.
The data of this table is from best cases, and has been established for giving a rough figure. Note: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes have the highest tensile strength of any material yet measured, with labs producing them at a tensile strength of 63 GPa, [ 36 ] still well below their theoretical limit of 300 GPa.
A Rockwell hardness tester. The Rockwell hardness test is a hardness test based on indentation hardness of a material. The Rockwell test measures the depth of penetration of an indenter under a large load (major load) compared to the penetration made by a preload (minor load). [1]
