Give the composition and uses of the following :

1. Duralumin
-It is an alloy made up of 90% to 94% aluminum,4% copper, 1% magnesium and 0.5% to
1% manganese. It is a very hard alloy. These alloys are used in places where hard alloys
are required, for example in the vehicle armor that is used in the defense industry.
2. High speed steel
-It is often used in power-saw blades and drill bits. High-speed steel is superior to the
older high-carbon steel tools in that it can withstand higher temperatures without losing
its temper (hardness). High-speed steels are complex iron-base alloys of carbon,
chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, tungsten, or combinations thereof.
3. Stellite (as in stellite cutter bit)
-Stellite alloys are a range of cobalt-based alloys, with significant proportions of
chromium (up to 33%) and tungsten (up to 18%). Some of the alloys also contain nickel
or molybdenum. Most of them are fairly high carbon content when compared to carbon
steels, though they contain less than 3% iron, and in the stellite alloys the carbon is
primarily associated with the chromium to form hard chromium carbide particles which
are dispersed in the cobalt-based matrix.
4. Phosphor bronze
-Phosphor bronze, commonly known a Phos Bronze, is used to make parts for many
industrial fields. It's an alloy of copper containing both tin and phosphorus.
5. Muntz metal
-Muntz metal, also called Yellow Metal, variety of the alloy brass consisting of 60
percent copper and 40 percent zinc. It is used to make machine parts that require
resistance to corrosion.
6. Naval bronze

-Naval Bronze is a copper alloy made up of 85% copper, 5% tin, 5% lead, 5% zinc, and a
very small amount of additional alloys (85-5-5-5)

– parts for hydraulic cylinders, frames, struts, gears, valve stems, and cams. For
commercial marine seawater valve applications, such as those for luxury yachts, cruise
ships, and work boats, Hays Fluid Controls uses the alloy.
7. Monel steel/Monel metal

-A set of nickel-copper alloys known as monel were first created in 1905 and comprise
approximately 66 percent nickel and 31.5 percent copper, as well as trace elements of
silicon, iron, manganese, carbon, and carbon.

-Stronger than pure nickel, Monel alloys are impervious to corrosion caused by a variety
of substances, even swiftly moving seawater. Monel is utilized in heat exchangers,
chemical and hydrocarbon processing machinery, valves, pumps, shafts, fittings, and
maritime engineering. Additionally, it is utilized in the construction of metal tools and
eyeglass frames.
8. Tobin bronze

-A copper-zinc alloy with 0.75% tin, TOBIN BRONZE-452 has good strength, hardness,
and corrosion resistance. (With lead, aluminum, and other components, tin 0.25 percent,
copper 57–61 percent, and zinc 40 percent)

-Low fuming rod appropriate for brazing to mild steel in low stress applications, copper --
and copper alloys, and some brass and bronze alloys is Comweld Tobin Bronze.
9. Leaded gun metal
-Approximative compositions consist of 85% copper, 5% lead, 5% tin, 5% zinc, and other
metals like nickel, sulphur, iron, antimony, etc.
-Ornamental Fixtures, Lighting Protection, Heating Equipment, Cooling Equipment,
Trowels for Cement Working, Large Hold Down Screws, Pressure Blocks for Steel
Industry, Pump Parts, Transducer Housings, Valve Bodies for the Water Meter Industry,
Valves for the Water Meter Industry, Pump Fixtures, Impellers, Valve Bodies, Pumps,
Bushings, Furnaces, Pumps, Low-Pressure Valves, Small Gears, Bearings, Air Actu
10. Everdur

-Approximating Copper 95%, Silicon 4%, and Manganese 1%

-Industrial Castings needing Corrosion Resistance, including Pumps, Valves, and Jewelry
and Art Casting.
11. Duronze III

-Approximately 90% copper, 7% aluminum, 2% silicon, and additional components like

zinc, iron, tin, etc.

Applications range from marine equipment, high-strength fasteners, and pole line
hardware to valve and pump parts for industrial process streams.
12. Beryllium copper

-Beryllium Copper is a type of copper alloy that contains 0.5–3% beryllium as well as
occasionally additional elements. It is also referred to as beryllium bronze or spring
copper.

-Electronic connectors, telecommunications equipment, computer parts, and small

springs may be the applications where Beryllium copper is most frequently used. Since it
conducts electricity well, it is utilized in low-current contacts for batteries and electrical
connectors.
13. Cupronickel

-The approximately 70% copper, 25% nickel, and other elements such iron and
magnesium alloy.

-Numerous nations use it for coinage. Due to their strong resistance to seawater
corrosion, low rates of macrofouling, and superior fabricability, copper-nickel alloys, also
known as cupronickel alloys, are frequently employed in maritime applications.
14. Babbitt

-The alloy described in the patent comprised 89% Tin, 9% Antimony, and 2% Copper,
which is remarkably similar to today's ASTM B-23 Grade 2. Although the term "Babbitt"
was originally intended to describe Tin-base alloys, it is now used to designate bearing
metals with Lead or other metals as the primary constituent.

-Cast iron, steel, and bronze bearing shells are lined with Babbitt metal. When a lubricant
fails to stop the moving parts of the bearing from welding together, friction and wear are
frequently caused, which are avoided by the Babbitt liner. The Babbitt thereby increases
the bearing's lifespan.
15. Nimonic 80

-Nimonic alloys typically have a nickel content of over 50% and a chromium content of
20%, along with titanium and aluminum as additions.

-Extremely high performance reciprocating internal combustion engines and gas turbine
components are the major uses. Currently, NIMONIC alloy 80A is utilized for bolts,
nuclear boiler tube supports, die casting inserts and cores, and automotive exhaust
valves. It is also used for gas turbine components (blades, rings, and discs).
