  2. Titanium alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium_alloys

    Titanium alone is a strong, light metal. It is stronger than common, low-carbon steels, but 45% lighter. It is also twice as strong as weak aluminium alloys but only 60% heavier. Titanium has outstanding corrosion resistance to seawater, and thus is used in propeller shafts, rigging and other parts of boats that are exposed to seawater.

  3. Tungsten - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten

    Tungsten has the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion of any pure metal. The low thermal expansion and high melting point and tensile strength of tungsten originate from strong covalent bonds formed between tungsten atoms by the 5d electrons. [26] Alloying small quantities of tungsten with steel greatly increases its toughness. [15]

  4. Titanium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium

    It is a strong metal with low density that is quite ductile (especially in an oxygen-free environment), [11] lustrous, and metallic-white in color. [19] Due to its relatively high melting point (1,668 °C or 3,034 °F) it has sometimes been described as a refractory metal , but this is not the case. [ 20 ]

  5. Light metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_metal

    A light metal is any metal of relatively low density. [1] These may be pure elements, but more commonly are metallic alloys. Lithium and then potassium are the two lightest metallic elements. Magnesium, aluminium and titanium alloys are light metals of significant commercial importance. [2]

  6. Magnesium alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_alloy

    Figure 1: Number of scientific articles with terms AZ91 or AZ31 in the abstract. Camera chassis of a Samsung NX1, made of magnesium alloy. Magnesium alloys are mixtures of magnesium (the lightest structural metal) with other metals (called an alloy), often aluminium, zinc, manganese, silicon, copper, rare earths and zirconium.

  7. List of named alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_named_alloys

    This is a list of named alloys grouped alphabetically by the metal with the highest percentage. Within these headings, the alloys are also grouped alphabetically. Within these headings, the alloys are also grouped alphabetically.

  8. Beryllium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryllium

    It is a steel-gray, hard, strong, lightweight and brittle alkaline earth metal. It is a divalent element that occurs naturally only in combination with other elements to form minerals. Gemstones high in beryllium include beryl (aquamarine, emerald, red beryl) and chrysoberyl.

  9. 7075 aluminium alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7075_aluminium_alloy

    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.
