Nickel-Copper (Ni-Cu) alloys exhibit simultaneously high strength and toughness, excellent corrosion resistance, and may show good wear resistance. Therefore, they are widely used in the chemical, oil, and marine industries for manufacturing of various components of equipment, such as: drill collars, pumps, valves, impellers, fixtures, pipes, and, particularly, propeller shafts of marine vessels. Processing technology includes bar forging, plate and tube rolling, wire drawing followed by heat treatment (for certain alloy compositions). Growing demand for properties improvement at a reduced cost initiate developments of new alloy chemistries and processing technologies, which require a revision of the microstructure-properties relationship. This work is dedicate to analysis of publicly available data for the microstructure, mechanical properties and strengthening mechanisms in Ni-Cu alloys. The effects of composition (Ti, Al, Mn, Cr, Mo, Co contents) and heat treatment on grain refinement, solid solution, precipitation strengthening, and work hardening are discussed.

Abstract CHASE PHOSNIC BRONZE is a high copper alloy combining high strength and high conductivity, both electrical and thermal, in an unusual degree. It has high workability and excellent corrosion resistance. The additions of nickel and phosphorus to the copper render the alloy capable of being hardened and strengthened by age-hardening heat treatment. The alloy has also high endurance strength in the harder drawn tempers of wire, and excellent resistance to creep or flow under the influence of prolonged stress. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as creep and fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Cu-12. Producer or source: Chase Brass & Copper Company Inc.. Originally published November 1953, revised February 1965.

Abstract Nickel-Copper Alloys 505 and 506 are strong castings alloys. Both alloys combine high strength with good wear resistance. Alloy 505 (4% silicon) is employed where exceptional resistance to galling is needed. Alloy 506 (3% silicon) is recommended where good (but not exceptional) galling resistance is sufficient. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance as well as casting, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Ni-215.

Aluminum alloys are the first chosen materials for aircraft structures since 1930 due to their high ratio between properties and density. Currently, aircraft industries use Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys, with T7451 temper, which it shows high strength, fatigue and corrosion resistance. The improvements properties are result from the η’ phase formation, MgZn2. The aim the present work is to propose an alternative route for ageing heat treatment at one AA7050 aluminum alloy, the manner which the formation of η’ phase particles at lower temperatures and longer periods of treatment is obtained. According to the literature, ageing treatments at low temperatures and longer periods optimize the usage of the solution atoms, favoring the growth and nucleation particles. As a result, there is an increase in the density of the particle improving the alloy properties. These improvements show a decrease up to 13% in the crack propagation rate for moderate ΔK levels, keeping the same levels of Vickers hardness but with decay of 12% of ultimate tensile strength.

Copper alloys with high strength and high conductivity are a serial of materials with excellent comprehensive performance. However, the strength and the conductivity are a pair of conflicting factors. To resolve this contradiction, Cu-1.0Cr-0.12Zr alloy was studied in this paper. With optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, Brinell hardness and the arms bridge, effects of heat treatment on microstructure and properties of such alloys was studied,and we strived to find a heat treatment processing to achieve the best match between the conductivity and the strength of the alloy. This paper focused on the study of conductive properties of the alloy. The main factor infuencing the conductivity of the alloy was the content of the soluting elements. The higher the content,the lower the conductivity, and vice versa. The results showed that the best comprehensive properties were obtained after solid solution at 920°C and then aging at 450°C for 180 min.

Beta type titanium alloys in a cold processability are light, have high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and the same level as Young's modulus of human bone. Therefore, beta type titanium alloys are used for plant facilities such as nuclear plants, architectural materials, aircraft, car, biomaterial, medical equipment, glasses and golf club head, etc. Microstructure and mechanical properties of beta type titanium alloys processed by rolling and heat treatment have been reported [1]. Additionally, screw form rolling using beta type titanium alloys has also been reported [2]. However, the development in those characteristics after the preliminary working by torsion has been unknown.
