Iron Based Alloys
Copper Based Alloys
Copper alloys are widely valued for their excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, good corrosion resistance, and, depending on composition, enhanced strength and performance at elevated temperatures. They are extensively used in applications requiring efficient heat transfer or electrical performance, including aerospace, automotive, and industrial systems.
