Aluminum alloys have high corrosion resistance. Their strength can be reduced when they are exposed to high temperatures. However, their strength can be increased at subzero temperatures. The aluminum 3004 alloy is an alloy containing manganese and magnesium.
Aluminum alloys have excellent corrosion resistance. They are sensitive to high temperatures in the range of 200 to 250°C (392 to 482°F), and could lose some of their strength.

Brass is an alloy mainly consisting of copper and zinc. Different brass alloys with distinct properties can be formed by varying the amount of zinc from 5 to 45%. Alpha brasses and alpha-beta/duplex alloys are the two major types of brasses.
Brass comprises a broad range of copper-zinc alloys having a variety of properties such as strength, hardness, color, machinability, ductility, wear-resistance, antimicrobial, corrosion-resistance, and electrical and thermal conductivity.
Copper beryllium alloys have good thermal and electrical conductivities and high strength. Two major groups of copper beryllium alloys include high conductivity alloys and high strength alloys.
Pure copper has good electrical and thermal conductivity. More than 400 varieties of copper alloys are available. Alloys can be freely formed by copper than most metals.
Copper alloys are available in more than 400 varieties. Each copper alloy variety has specific properties that suit a number of manufacturing processes, environments and applications.
The UNS C96800 copper alloy is resistant to corrosion and ductile. The addition of iron to the alloy makes it resistant to flowing sea-water.
Tungsten hot-work steels are of different types, namely, H21 to H26 types. These steels have similar characteristics to that of high-speed steels. The primary alloying elements of tungsten hot-work steels include tungsten, chromium, carbon, and vanadium.
Pure copper has good electrical and thermal conductivity. More than 400 varieties of copper alloys are available. The UNS C78200 leaded nickel silver copper alloy has high corrosion resistance, and good formability.
