UNS designations C50100 to C54200 are called phosphor bronzes. Phosphor bronzes are copper alloys containing predominantly tin and phosphorous. Tin provides these alloys increased corrosion resistance and strength, while phosphorous provides them increased wear resistance.
Copper can be combined with other metals such as tin, silver, chromium, and zinc to make alloys. Copper and its alloys are essential materials in most of the electrical applications.
Copper and its alloys are particularly known for their good electric and thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. They are used in a number of applications, by varying their properties which are based on the amount of impurities that are alloyed.
Magnesium is a highly versatile metal which is non-toxic, and has excellent machining qualities. It exhibits a capacity to dampen and absorb vibration and electromagnetic waves.
Magnesium is a silvery white metal that is abundantly available in earth’s crust. It is easily ignitable in nitrogen and carbon dioxide environments. Aluminum, nickel, copper and zinc are some of the metals with which it is commonly alloyed.
Magnesium is among the most abundantly available metals on the earth’s crust. Its applications are limited by its easily ignitable nature. It is commonly alloyed with non-ferrous metals like aluminum, copper, nickel, etc.
Andy Adams, Business Development Manager at Masteel (UK), talks to AZoM about the composition, application and distribution of high-yield steel plate products.
Recent news regarding a scrapped space walk due to a ‘leak’ in an astronaut's spacesuit really does pose the question; What is an astronaut's spacesuit made up of?

Nickel alloy 263 is an age-hardenable nickel-cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy that combines high strength with good fabrication characteristics under annealed condition.
Copper is one of the most useful metals known to mankind. Copper and its alloys find many applications mainly due to their excellent thermal and electrical conductivities and good corrosion resistance.
