Beryllium copper series are alloys of the metal copper. They are known for their high strength coupled with non-magnetic and non-sparking features. Beryllium copper alloys are ductile, weldable, and machinable.
UNS C15715 is an aluminium / aluminum oxide dispersion-strengthened copper alloy with physical properties that are similar to pure copper. It possesses very good elevated-temperature mechanical properties.
Historical evidence shows that copper has been in use for at least 11,000 years. It is easy to mine, extract from its ore, and transform. Large copper ore deposits can be found in the United States, Zaire, Zambia, Chile, Peru and Canada.
Copper (Cu) with the atomic number 29, is a widely used metal due to its ductility and excellent thermal and electrical conductivity.
Aluminium / aluminum is one of the most widely used metals today. Ease of fabrication, wide range of finishes, and uniform quality are some of its many advantages.
Aluminium / aluminum is a white metal that can be easily fabricated into many forms. It can be cut, bent, and drawn. It is one of the most frequently used metals from the ancient days.
Aluminium / aluminum structures can be lighter than steel structures, thus it has been widely used in the aviation industry. Over the years with many durable and reliable aluminium / aluminum alloys being manufactured, airplanes could soar higher, farther and safer.
Many weird and wonderful uses for 3D printing have emerged recently, but perhaps none more poignant than its recent role in saving the life of a child.
