Nickel alloy 105 is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-cobalt-chromium alloy that is added with molybdenum for solid-solution strengthening. The relatively high aluminum content of this alloy improves the oxidation resistance and strength of the alloy.
Titanium alloys contain titanium and other chemical elements such as molybdenum, aluminum, vanadium, and iron.
Titanium is a lustrous metal with a silver color, low density and high strength. It is as strong as steel and twice as strong as aluminum. When it is alloyed with other metals such as nickel, ruthenium, zirconium, vanadium, and aluminum, titanium alloys with unique properties are formed.
Super alloys were developed to provide high performance at high temperatures. These alloys also possess excellent resistance to creep, good surface stability, and good corrosion and oxidation resistance.

Copper is relatively easy to mine and refine. It can be obtained from the ores cuprite, chalcocite, malachite, tenorite, covellite, and bornite. Today, the largest consumer of copper is in the building industry.
UNS C80100 is a high copper casting alloy. In casting, the metal is melted and poured into its final form such as a sculpture, faucet, knob, and handle. Casting methods such as centrifugal, sand, continuous, permanent mold, investment, and plaster are recommended for this alloy.
Aluminum bronze is an alloy, which consist of about 6% of nickel and iron and 9 to 12% of aluminum. UNS C95900 aluminum bronze copper alloy has good wear resistance and anti-galling properties.
Copper is a lot easier to alloy than most other metals. Its properties are strengthened and improved when alloyed to suit specific environments and applications. Lead is often added to copper alloys to enhance their machinability.
Titanium alloys are formed when titanium is combined with other alloying metals such as manganese, aluminum, zirconium, tin and molybdenum.
