Product Description
Non-ferrous alloys are metallic materials that do not contain iron as their primary base element (typically containing less than 1% iron by weight).
Because they lack iron, these alloys offer key inherent advantages over carbon and alloy steels: high corrosion resistance, non-magnetic behavior, superior electrical and thermal conductivity, low density (high strength-to-weight ratio), and ease of fabrication.
Major Non-Ferrous Alloy Families
1. Aluminum Alloys
Prized for low density (~2.7 g/cm) and high strength-to-weight ratios when alloyed and heat-treated.
-
Work-Hardened Series:
-
3000 Series (Al-Mn): General corrosion resistance, moderate strength (e.g., 3003, 3105).
-
5000 Series (Al-Mg): Exceptional marine/chemical resistance, high fatigue strength (e.g., 5052, 5083, 5754).
-
Heat-Treatable Series:
-
2000 Series (Al-Cu): High strength, aerospace structural applications (e.g., 2014, 2024).
-
6000 Series (Al-Mg-Si): Excellent extrudability, general structural (e.g., 6061-T6, 6082).
-
7000 Series (Al-Zn): Ultra-high tensile strength up to 500+ MPa (e.g., 7075-T6, 7050).
2. Copper Alloys
Chosen primarily for high thermal/electrical conductivity, biofouling resistance, and machinability.
-
Brasses (Cu-Zn): Cartridge brass (C26000), free-cutting brass (C36000) for threaded fittings, valving, and hardware.
-
Bronzes:
-
Phosphor Bronze (Cu-Sn-P): High fatigue resistance for springs, bushings, and Belleville washers (e.g., C51000).
-
Aluminum Bronze (Cu-Al-Fe-Ni): Exceptional wear and marine corrosion resistance (e.g., C95400, C63000).
-
Copper-Nickel / Cupronickel (Cu-Ni): Outstanding resistance to seawater velocity corrosion (e.g., 90/10 C70600, 70/30 C71500).
3. Nickel Alloys & Superalloys
Engineered for extreme temperature strength (creep resistance) and severely corrosive chemical processing environments.
-
Monel (Ni-Cu): Seawater and hydrofluoric acid resistance (e.g., Monel 400, Monel K-500).
-
Inconel (Ni-Cr-Fe/Mo): High-temperature oxidation resistance up to 1000C+ (e.g., Inconel 600, 625, 718).
-
Hastelloy (Ni-Mo-Cr): Severe acid resistance (hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric) (e.g., Hastelloy C-276, C-22).
4. Titanium Alloys
Offers high strength-to-weight ratio combined with total immunity to ambient aqueous and chloride corrosion.
-
Commercially Pure (CP): Excellent formability and corrosion resistance (Grades 14).
-
Alpha-Beta Alloys: High mechanical strength (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V / Grade 5, Ti-6Al-4V ELI / Grade 23).
5. Magnesium & Zinc Alloys
-
Magnesium Alloys (AZ91D, AM60B): Lowest density structural metals (~1.8 g/cm), widely die-cast for automotive and aerospace housings.
-
Zinc Alloys (Zamak 3, Zamak 5): Precision die-casting alloys with low melting points and superior dimensional stability.
