Super alloys have the ability to function at very high temperatures and mechanical stress, and also where high surface stability is required. They have good creep and oxidation resistance, and can be produced in a variety of shapes.
Super alloy Nicrofer 5120 CoTi is a nickel-cobalt-chromium alloy containing also molybdenum to provide hot strength. It is age-hardenable and has relatively easy forming characteristics with good high temperature performance.
Copper and its alloys are highly sought after materials. There are over 400 copper alloys with unique properties specifically designed to suit specific applications and environments. UNS C77300 is a copper-nickel wrought alloy with good corrosion resistance especially in seawater.
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley in a team led by Associate Professor Ali Javey in the department of electrical engineering and computer science have developed an electronic skin structure designed to respond to the sensation of touch.

Recent developments in production processes, materials and delivery equipment have together created a dynamic environment in the drug delivery field. The successful introduction of new products and support of existing products demand new research and development parameters and protocols.
Nicrofer 5716 alloy is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy containing tungsten and low amounts of carbon and silicon. The alloy is characterized by excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking, crevice corrosion and pitting.
Sanicro 70 is an austenitic nickel-chromium-iron alloy that is characterized by excellent resistance to nitrogen absorption and carburization, and good structural stability at high temperatures. It also has good resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
Super alloy VLX800H is a slightly modified version of Incoloy 800 with the 800H grade possessing higher creep and rupture strength. This modification is possible because of the closely controlled carbon content and modified heat treatment.
The Unified Numbering System (UNS) designation comprises five digit numbers preceded by a letter prefix. The letter indicates the identified metal family. UNS C50715 is a copper alloy.
