Materials
Steel
Steel is a strong, durable alloy primarily made from iron and carbon. It's characterized by its high tensile strength and resistance to corrosion and wear. Steel often contains additional elements like chromium, nickel, and manganese to enhance its properties.
Carbon Steel
Carbon steel, a robust alloy of iron and carbon, is distinguished by its impressive tensile strength, hardness, and ability to be magnetized. Predominantly used in construction and manufacturing, it features a silver-gray appearance and excels in durability and wear resistance.
Alloy Steel
Alloy steel is a robust metal composed of iron mixed with various elements like chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and vanadium. This combination enhances properties such as strength, hardness, durability, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for diverse industrial applications.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel, an alloy of iron, chromium, and often nickel, is renowned for its corrosion resistance and lustrous appearance. Its durability, easy maintenance, and hygienic qualities make it a popular choice in kitchenware, medical equipment, and architectural structures.
Aluminum
Aluminum, a lightweight, silver-white metal, is known for its remarkable corrosion resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio. It's easily machinable, conducts heat and electricity well, and is widely used in aerospace, transportation, and packaging industries due to its versatility.
Brass
Brass is a versatile alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc, known for its golden-yellow hue. It exhibits excellent malleability, acoustic properties, and resistance to corrosion, making it a popular choice for musical instruments, decorative items, and various fittings.
Bronze
Bronze, a copper-tin alloy, often contains small amounts of other elements like aluminum or nickel. It's known for its hardness, durability, and distinctive reddish-brown color. Widely used in sculpture, coins, and industrial applications, bronze resists corrosion and metal fatigue.
Copper
Copper is a reddish-brown, highly ductile and conductive metal, renowned for its thermal and electrical conductivity. It's naturally antimicrobial and corrosion-resistant, extensively used in electrical wiring, plumbing, coinage, and as a component in various metal alloys.
Iron
Iron is a lustrous, ductile, malleable metal with a silvery-gray appearance. As a fundamental building block of modern industry, it is magnetic, has high melting and boiling points, and forms compounds with various elements, prominently influencing Earth's geology and human technology.
Magnesium Alloy
Magnesium alloy, a lightweight and strong metal, is characterized by its low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, and excellent machinability. It's often used in aerospace, automotive industries, and electronics for its weight-saving benefits and ability to dissipate heat effectively.
Nickel Alloy
Nickel alloy, a blend of nickel and other elements, is known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and strength. It excels in harsh environments, making it ideal for aerospace, chemical processing, and power generation applications. Its silvery-white appearance adds to its appeal.
Titanium
Titanium is a lightweight, strong metal with a silvery-white appearance, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and high strength-to-density ratio. Widely used in aerospace, medical implants, and sporting equipment, it forms alloys with elements like aluminum and vanadium.
Tungsten Carbide
Tungsten carbide, a composite of tungsten and carbon, is exceptionally hard and wear-resistant. It has a high melting point and great rigidity, making it ideal for cutting tools, abrasives, and armor-piercing rounds. Its density and strength are comparable to those of diamond.
Zinc Alloy
Zinc alloy is a robust metal combination mainly composed of zinc, often blended with aluminum, copper, and magnesium. It's known for its high strength, good corrosion resistance, and ability to be cast into intricate shapes, commonly used in die-casting and automotive parts.
