Alloy features

(1) The melting point of most alloys is lower than that of any of its constituent metals;
(2) the hardness is generally greater than that of any metal in its components; (Exception: sodium-potassium alloy is liquid and is used as a heat conductor in atomic reactors.)
(3) The electrical and thermal conductivity of the alloy is lower than that of any other component metal. Using this property of alloys, high resistance and high thermal resistance materials can be made. It can also make materials with special properties.
(4) some strong corrosion resistance (such as stainless steel) such as in iron mixed with 15% chromium and 9% nickel to get a corrosion resistant stainless steel, suitable for chemical industry.

Example of popular alloy and their uses

BRASS

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Brass has a low melting point and is extremely workable and durable. It is used in applications where low friction and resistance to corrosion is required such as:

1、Locks

2、Bearings

3、Ammunition components

4、Appliance parts

5、Decoration

PHOSPHOR BRONZE

Phosphor bronze is composed of copper alloyed with 0.5-11% tin and 0.01% phosphorus. It is resistant to corrosion and fatigue and should be used in:

1、Welding rods

2、Bushings

3、Bearings

4、Springs

5、Switch parts

6、Ship propellers and other applications in the marine environment

STEEL

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. It has a high tensile strength and low cost. Mead Metals stocks many classifications of steel such as stainless steel, annealed and tempered spring steel and cold rolled steel. It is often used in:

1、Automotive parts

2、Infrastructure

3、Construction

4、Household products

5、Kitchen appliances

BERYLLIUM COPPER

Also known as Alloy 25 or BeCu, beryllium copper is a copper alloy with 0.5%-3% beryllium. It is weldable, ductile, and has non-magnetic and non-sparking qualities. It is resistant to oxidation, corrosion, and non-oxidizing acids. Additionally, beryllium copper has excellent thermal and electrical conducting capabilities. It is often used in:

1、Electronic connector contacts

2、Small springs

3、Musical instruments

4、Computer components

5、Tools for hazardous environments such as aerospace engineering and metalworking
