What are the two alloys of copper?
The most well-known copper alloy families are brass (copper-zinc), bronze (copper-tin) and copper-nickel. These actually represent families of alloys, all made by varying the amount of specific alloying elements.
What are the 4 types of alloys?
- Stainless Steel Alloys. Stainless steel is an alloy comprised of iron and carbon.
- Aluminum Alloys. On its own, aluminum isn't the strongest metal—but when you add elements such as iron, copper, or zinc, you increase its strength and durability.
- Bronze Alloys.
- Nickel Alloys.
What is the best copper alloy?
Beryllium-copper in the fully heat treated and cold worked condition is the hardest and strongest of all copper alloys. Its mechanical properties are similar to many high strength alloy steels, but it has better corrosion resistance as well as electrical and thermal conductivity than any of them.
Is beryllium copper stronger than steel?
Uses. Beryllium is an important industrial metal because of its material properties; that is, it is lighter than aluminum and six times stronger than steel. Often alloyed with other metals such as copper, beryllium is a key component of materials used in the aerospace and electronics industries.
