Alloys Types and Terms
Alloy Types
- is a metallic material made from a combination
of aluminum and another element, aluminum being the main component.
- are
made up of two components.
- is an
alloy formed from copper and zinc.
- is an
alloy formed from copper, zinc and sometimes tin, which produces a
deep reddish-brown color.
- are
alloys used to form objects in molds, and they are more easily molded
than other alloys.
- is a combination of copper and another element,
in which copper is the chief component.
- can be engineered to have specific properties
that meet requirements for a specific application.
- are
all alloys that are based on iron.
- is
a trademark alloy from Hayes International, Inc. and is made up of
nickel mixed with one of several options: cobalt, iron, copper, titanium,
aluminum, etc. Hastelloys are considered to be superalloys and are
used in highly corrosive and erosion prone environments.
- is an
alloy made from nickel and chromium and is often used in the nuclear
engineering, industrial furnace and rocket engine industries because
of its resistance to high temperatures and corrosion.
- are
alloys of two or more metals in a certain proportion, forming a new
chemical compound.
- is an amalgamation of two or more elements, one
of which must be a metal.
- is a trademarked
alloy made up of nickel and copper with some manganese and iron; it
is primarily known as a rust-resistant and corrosion resistant material.
- is a metallic material predominantly comprised
of nickel.
- are
a mix of two or more non-ferrous metals, not containing iron.
- are
alloys made up of four different components.
- are most commonly made up of nickel, chromium,
silicon, manganese, tungsten, molybdenum and vanadium, and are
used for their increased hardness, strength and chemical resistance.
- ,
or high-performance alloys, can withstand extreme temperatures that
would destroy metals like steel and aluminum. A superalloy will have
excellent mechanical strength, surface stability and corrosion resistance.
- are
alloys made up of three different components.
- is a metal alloy in which titanium remains the
main component.
Alloy Terms
- A substance that has metallic properties and
is composed of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal.
- An element added
to a metal that effects changes in structure
and properties.
- A process using beams of ions of carbon, nitrogen
and other elements which are fired into metals in a vacuum chamber in
order
to produce a thin layer of alloy on the metal surface.
- A process used to change the shape or form of metals and
alloys.
- The study of the physical and chemical behavior of metallic
elements, their intermetallic compounds and their alloy mixtures.
- The process by which alloys are mixed in powder form
and heated into a solid, homogeneous alloy.
