Brass-copper alloy UNS C43400 has excellent cold working properties making it ideal for machining. High thermal conductivity enables the UNS C43400 to be used in heat exchangers.
UNS C17000 beryllium copper alloys are ductile, heat treatable and can be mill hardened. These alloys are used in applications, which require high strength and good conductivity. The following section will discuss in detail about UNS C17000 beryllium copper alloys.
Cold-work tool steels include the high-carbon, high-chromium steels or group D steels. These steels are designated as group D steels and consist of D2, D3, D4, D5, and D7 steels. These steels contain 1.5 to 2.35% of carbon and 12% of chromium.
Copper-nickel alloys have excellent resistance to biofouling and marine corrosion, and possess good fabricability. Copper gains more strength and corrosion resistance when nickel is added to it.
This article explores the materials and design possibilities of the technology, and the impacts it might have on industry.

High-speed tool steels are of two types, namely molybdenum high-speed steels and tungsten high-speed steels. The molybdenum high-speed steels are also referred to as Group M steels.
Stainless steels are high-alloy steels, which have high corrosion resistance when compared to other steels due to the presence of large amounts of chromium. Based on their crystalline structure, they are further divided into ferritic, austenitic, and martensitic steels.
UNS 11500 silver-bearing tough pitch copper alloys are anneal resistant and ductile. These alloys have conductivity 101% IACS.
UNS C15000 zirconium copper alloys have high conductivity, resistance to deformation and high strength at elevated temperatures. The following datasheet will discuss about the UNS C15000 zirconium copper alloys.
Copper casting alloy UNS C87500 is an alloy of copper and silicon. Brass is a preferred alloy for architecture. Brass has attractive color and can be moulded into different shapes.
