Carbon steels are iron–carbon alloys that may contain appreciable concentrations of other alloying elements. Carbon Steel – Plain Carbon Steel.
Stainless steel is a steel alloy with at least 10.5% chromium with or without other alloying elements and a maximum of 1.2% carbon by mass.
Duplex stainless steel, as its name indicates, is a combination of two of the main alloy types. Duplex stainless steels have a mixed microstructure of.
In general, alloy steel is steel that is alloyed with a variety of elements in total amounts between 1.0% and 50% by weight to improve its mechanical properties.
Zinc alloys have low melting points, require relatively low heat input, do not require fluxing or protective atmospheres.
Titanium alloys are metals that contain a mixture of titanium and other chemical elements. Such alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness.
Superalloys, or high-performance alloys, are non-ferrous alloys that exhibit outstanding strength and surface stability at high temperatures.
Nickel alloys exhibit excellent ductility and toughness, even at high strength levels and these properties are retained up to low temperatures.
Copper alloys are alloys based on copper, in which the main alloying elements are Zn, Sn, Si, Al, Ni. Copper and copper-based alloys including brasses (Cu-Zn).
Aluminium alloys are based on aluminium, in which the main alloying elements are Cu, Mn, Si, Mg, Mg+Si, Zn. Aluminium and its alloys are used widely in aerospace.
Hot working. First, the raw material in the form of large ingots or billets is hot-worked, usually by rolling, forging, or extrusion, into smaller shapes and sizes.
Cold working is a metalworking process, which occurs below the recrystallization temperature. Because plastic deformation results from the movement of dislocations.
