subject: Alloys: Fusion At Its Best [print this page] Alloys are extensively used in today's modern world. They are used in most of metal products as they improve the texture, strength & durability of metals products making it to last longer with high quality. They are most reliable material for mankind
The components of various alloys contain various elements. There are a large number of possible combinations of different metals and each has its own specific set of properties. The Uses for alloys are limitless depending on the materials involved and the complexity of the alloy. The alloys are used in an extensive range of aircrafts, military, commercial, industrial, medical, residential and manufacturing applications. Alloys like Aluminum, Copper, Nickel, Stainless steel, Titanium all have different uses in various applications.
Aluminum when combined with other metals gives strength and specific characteristics for a particular use. Aluminum alloys are extensively used in the production of automotive engine parts like tractor parts like tie rod end. They are also used in various applications like transport, packaging, electrical application, medicine, and construction of homes and furniture. Copper alloys are corrosion resistance, high ductility and relatively low cost. Due to high strength, electrical and thermal conductivity copper alloys are used in the manufacture of all types of electrical equipment. Nickel alloys have good corrosion resistance and heat resistance. Nickel alloys are used for a wide variety of applications like aircraft gas turbines, nuclear power systems and widely used in chemical and petrochemical industries. Stainless steel alloys are used for many commercial applications such as watch straps, cutlery etc. Stainless alloys used for making tubes intended for placement on the bottom of the sea. Stainless Alloys are also widely used in the electronic, agricultural, road and rail industries. Titanium alloys have high melting point than stainless steels. Due to high strength, toughness and stiffness, many titanium alloys are used in aerospace structures and other high-performance applications. Titanium alloys are used for different spacecraft parts, jet engines.
Alloys are widely used in the era of modernization, globalization, & industrialization. People have efficiently made use of alloys for their needs. They have greatly exploited the different properties of different alloys for their different ever demanding needs & changes. Automobile industry is the most extensive use of alloys majorly used to manufacture vehicle moving parts.
