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.
Also saw some use in motor-racing applications from the 1960s, [8] as it is a tolerant alloy that could be press-formed with relatively unsophisticated equipment. 2024: Aircraft structures, rivets, hardware, truck wheels, screw machine products, and other structural applications. 2036: Sheet for auto body panels
From left to right: three alloys (beryllium copper, Inconel, steel) and three pure metals (titanium, aluminum, magnesium)An alloy is a mixture of chemical elements of which in most cases at least one is a metallic element, although it is also sometimes used for mixtures of elements; herein only metallic alloys are described.
Copper alloys are metal alloys that have copper as their principal component. They have high resistance against corrosion . Of the large number of different types, the best known traditional types are bronze , where tin is a significant addition, and brass , using zinc instead.
Mn-free are very rare. Standard alloys are AlMg 3 Mn, AlMg 4.5 Mn 0.7, as well as for bodywork AlMg 4.5 Mn 0.4. Magnesium levels of up to 5% and manganese content up to 1% are used for wrought alloys. [8] [9] Mg contents up to 10% are also possible for cast alloys; however, contents of 7% and more are considered heavypourable. [10]
Polish project 664-class torpedo boat, with a hull of welded Hydronalium. Hydronalium is a family of aluminium-magnesium alloys.It is an alloy predominantly of aluminium, with between 1%-12% of magnesium as the primary alloying ingredient.
Chromel A is an alloy containing approximately 80% nickel and 20% chromium (by weight), with low-level quantities of Si (1%), Fe (0.5%), and Ni. [2] It is used for its excellent resistance to high-temperature corrosion and oxidation. It is also commonly called Nichrome 80-20, and is used for electric heating elements.
Italy pioneered the use for coinage of an aluminium-bronze alloy called bronzital (literally "Italian bronze") in its 5- and 10-centesimi from 1939. Its alloy was finalized in 1967 to 92% copper, 6% aluminium, and 2% nickel, [5] and was since used in the 20, 200 and 500 Italian Lira coins until 2001.
