Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with improved strength and fracture resistance compared to other forms of iron. Because of its high tensile strength and low cost, steel is one of the most commonly manufactured materials in the world. Steel is used in buildings, as concrete reinforcing rods, in bridges, infrastructure, tools, ships, trains ...

Copper. face-centered cubic (fcc) ( cF4) Copper is a chemical element; it has symbol Cu (from Latin cuprum) and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a pinkish-orange color. Copper is used as a conductor of heat and ...
Corinthian bronze ( gold, silver) Cunife ( nickel, iron) Cupronickel ( nickel) CuSil ( silver) Cymbal alloys ( tin) Devarda's alloy ( aluminium, zinc) Hepatizon ( gold, silver) Manganin ( manganese, nickel) Melchior ( nickel ); high corrosion resistance, used in marine applications in condenser tubes.
Zinc. hexagonal close-packed (hcp) ( hP2) Zinc is a chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30. It is a slightly brittle metal at room temperature and has a shiny-greyish appearance when oxidation is removed. It is the first element in group 12 (IIB) of the periodic table.
Metal. Iron, shown here as fragments and a 1 cm 3 cube, is an example of a chemical element that is a metal. Metal in the form of a gravy boat made from stainless steel, an alloy largely composed of iron, chromium and nickel. Part of a series on the.
Bronze. Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12–12.5% tin and often with the addition of other metals (including aluminium, manganese, nickel, or zinc) and sometimes non-metals, such as phosphorus, or metalloids, such as arsenic or silicon. These additions produce a range of alloys that may be harder than ...
