This is an alphabetical list of alloys grouped according to the base metal of the alloy. Some alloys are listed under more than one element, since the composition of the alloy may vary such that one element is present in a higher concentration than the others.Aluminum AlloysAA-8000: used for building wireAl-Li (aluminum, lithium, sometimes mercury) Alnico (aluminum, nickel, copper)Duralumin (copper, aluminum)Magnalium (aluminum, 5% magnesium)Magnox (magnesium oxide, aluminum)Nambe (aluminum plus seven other unspecified metals)Silumin (aluminum, silicon)Zamak (zinc, aluminum, magnesium, copper)Aluminum forms other complex alloys with magnesium, manganese, and platinumBismuth AlloysWood's metal (bismuth, lead, tin, cadmium)Rose metal (bismuth, lead, tin)Field's metalCerrobendCobalt AlloysMegalliumStellite (cobalt, chromium, tungsten or molybdenum, carbon)Talonite (cobalt, chromium)Ultimet (cobalt, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, iron, tungsten)VitalliumCopper AlloysArsenical copperBeryllium copper (copper, beryllium)Billon (copper, silver)Brass (copper, zinc)Calamine brass (copper, zinc)Chinese silver (copper, zinc)Dutch metal (copper, zinc)Gilding metal (copper, zinc)Muntz metal (copper, zinc)Pinchbeck (copper, zinc)Prince's metal (copper, zinc)Tombac (copper, zinc) Bronze (copper, tin, aluminum or any other element)Aluminum bronze (copper, aluminum)Arsenical bronze (copper, arsenic)Bell metal (copper, tin)Florentine bronze (copper, aluminum or tin)Glucydur (beryllium, copper, iron)Guanin (likely a manganese bronze of copper, manganese, with iron sulfides and other sulfides)Gunmetal (copper, tin, zinc)Phosphor bronze (copper, tin, and phosphorus)Ormolu (Gilt Bronze) (copper, zinc)Speculum metal (copper, tin) Constantan (copper, nickel)Copper-tungsten (copper, tungsten)Corinthian bronze (copper, gold, silver)Cunife (copper, nickel, iron)Cupronickel (copper, nickel)Cymbal alloys (Bell metal) (copper, tin)Devarda's alloy (copper, aluminum, zinc)Electrum (copper, gold, silver)Hepatizon (copper, gold, silver)Heusler alloy (copper, manganese, tin)Manganin (copper, manganese, nickel)Nickel silver (copper, nickel)Nordic gold (copper, aluminum, zinc, tin)Shakudo (copper, gold)Tumbaga (copper, gold)Gallium AlloysGalinstan (gallium, indium, tin)Gold AlloysElectrum (gold, silver, copper)Tumbaga (gold, copper)Rose gold (gold, copper)White gold (gold, nickel, palladium, or platinum)Indium AlloysField's metal (indium, bismuth, tin)Iron or Ferrous AlloysSteel (carbon)Stainless steel (chromium, nickel)AL-6XNAlloy 20CelestriumMarine grade stainlessMartensitic stainless steelSurgical stainless steel (chromium, molybdenum, nickel)Silicon steel (silicon)Tool steel (tungsten or manganese)Bulat steelChromoly (chromium, molybdenum)Crucible steelDamascus steelHSLA steelHigh speed steelMaraging steelReynolds 531Wootz steelIronAnthracite iron (carbon)Cast iron (carbon)Pig iron (carbon)Wrought iron (carbon)Fernico (nickel, cobalt) Elinvar (nickel, chromium)Invar (nickel)Kovar (cobalt)Spiegeleisen (manganese, carbon, silicon)FerroalloysFerroboronFerrochrome (chromium)FerromagnesiumFerromanganeseFerromolybdenumFerronickelFerrophosphorusFerrotitaniumFerrovanadiumFerrosiliconLead AlloysAntimonial lead (lead, antimony)Molybdochalkos (lead, copper)Solder (lead, tin)Terne (lead, tin)Type metal (lead, tin, antimony)Magnesium AlloysMagnox (magnesium, aluminum)T-Mg-Al-Zn (Bergman phase)ElektronMercury AlloysAmalgam (mercury with just about any metal except platinum)Nickel AlloysAlumel (nickel, manganese, aluminum, silicon)Chromel (nickel, chromium)Cupronickel (nickel, bronze, copper)German silver (nickel, copper, zinc)Hastelloy (nickel, molybdenum, chromium, sometimes tungsten)Inconel (nickel, chromium, iron)Monel metal (copper, nickel, iron, manganese) Mu-metal (nickel, iron)Ni-C (nickel, carbon)Nichrome (chromium, iron, nickel)Nicrosil (nickel, chromium, silicon, magnesium)Nisil (nickel, silicon)Nitinol (nickel, titanium, shape memory alloy)Potassium AlloysKLi (potassium, lithium)NaK (sodium, potassium)Rare Earth AlloysMischmetal (various rare earths)Silver AlloysArgentium sterling silver (silver, copper, germanium)Billon (copper or copper bronze, sometimes with silver)Britannia silver (silver, copper)Electrum (silver, gold)Goloid (silver, copper, gold)Platinum sterling (silver, platinum)Shibuichi (silver, copper)Sterling silver (silver, copper)Tin AlloysBritannium (tin, copper, antimony)Pewter (tin, lead, copper)Solder (tin, lead, antimony)Titanium AlloysBeta C (titanium, vanadium, chromium, other metals)6al-4v (titanium, aluminum, vanadium)Uranium AlloysStaballoy (depleted uranium with titanium or molybdenum)Uranium may also be alloyed with plutoniumZinc AlloysBrass (zinc, copper)Zamak (zinc, aluminum, magnesium, copper)Zirconium AlloysZircaloy (zirconium and tin, sometimes with niobium, chromium, iron, nickel) citecite this article Format mla apa chicago Your Citation Helmenstine, Anne Marie, Ph.D. "List of Metal Alloys From A to Z."
