Titanium mixed with other chemical elements such as aluminum, molybdenum and zirconium produces a wide range of titanium alloys.
Nickel alloy 75 is a creep-resistant nickel-chromium-iron alloy having controlled carbon content and small addition of titanium.
Nickel alloy 86 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy having good formability and weldability, exceptional resistance to scaling and oxidation at temperatures up to 1050°C (1920°F). It is a rare alloy due to the presence of cerium in its composition.
Nickel alloy 115 is a nickel-chromium-cobalt based alloy whose properties are similar to that of nickel alloy 105. However, the alloy can be strengthened with the additions of titanium, aluminum and molybdenum.
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.
Rolls Royce and EADS have announced a joint project to develop a hybrid electric commercial aircraft by 2050.

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.
