  2. Alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloy

    A gate valve, made from Inconel. Some alloys, such as electrum—an alloy of silver and gold—occur naturally. Meteorites are sometimes made of naturally occurring alloys of iron and nickel, but are not native to the Earth. One of the first alloys made by humans was bronze, which is a mixture of the metals tin and copper. Bronze was an ...

  3. Solid solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_solution

    In metallurgy alloys with a set composition are referred to as intermetallic compounds. A solid solution is likely to exist when the two elements (generally metals ) involved are close together on the periodic table , an intermetallic compound generally results when two metals involved are not near each other on the periodic table.

  4. Alloy steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloy_steel

    Researches created an alloy with the strength of steel and the lightness of titanium alloy. It combined iron, aluminum, carbon, manganese, and nickel. The other ingredient was uniformly distributed nanometer-sized B2 intermetallic (two metals with equal numbers of atoms) particles. The use of nickel team avoided problems with earlier attempts ...

  5. Metallic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_bonding

    Even in solid metals, the solubility can be extensive. If the structures of the two metals are the same, there can even be complete solid solubility, as in the case of electrum, an alloy of silver and gold. At times, however, two metals will form alloys with different structures than either of the two parents.

  6. Magnesium alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. Magnesium alloys have a hexagonal lattice structure, which affects the fundamental properties of these alloys.

  7. Amalgam (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalgam_(chemistry)

    Almost all metals can form amalgams with mercury, the notable exceptions being iron, platinum, tungsten, and tantalum. Silver-mercury amalgams are important in dentistry, and gold-mercury amalgam is used in the extraction of gold from ore. Dentistry has used alloys of mercury with metals such as silver, copper, indium, tin and zinc.

  8. Aluminium–copper alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–copper_alloys

    As with almost all aluminium alloys, a distinction is made between wrought alloys for rolling and forging and cast alloys for casting. The copper content is usually between 3 and 6%. Between 0.3% and 6% the alloys are regarded as not weldable or very difficult to weld (by fusion welding), with higher copper contents they become weldable again.

  9. Amorphous metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_metal

    Amorphous metals, while technically glasses, are much tougher and less brittle than oxide glasses and ceramics. Amorphous metals are either non-ferromagnetic, if they are composed of Ln, Mg, Zr, Ti, Pd, Ca, Cu, Pt and Au, or ferromagnetic, if they are composed of Fe, Co, and Ni. [24] Thermal conductivity is lower than in crystalline metals.
