Mechanical strength, nickel-based alloys

Copper nickels or cupronickels are alloys that result from addition of 3 to 30% Ni to copper. Nickel silvers are copper-zinc alloys (brasses) that contain some nickel. Copper nickels and nickel silvers have an alpha or fee structure and good mechanical strength and forming characteristics. Cupronickels are the most corrosion-resistant copper-based alloys. For example, the long-... 

Metallized metal, polymer and carbon. Types la, lb, and Ic, are variants of the solid metal fibers and are distinguished therefrom by a metal layer upon the base fiber s periphery. They are fabricated by electrochemical deposition or grafting of a suitable metal, such as nickel, copper, aluminum, and their alloys, as a thin layer upon the fiber s surface. In general, these variants evolved in attempts to improve upon one, or more, properties of the Type 1 fibers. Applications of metal-on-metal. Type la, are typified by the structures described in 1972 by McNab(26) who used refractory, non conducting, base fibers for example, aluminum oxide and boron nitride, upon which were deposited films of noble metals. McNab s objective was to improve upon the strength and flexibility of Type 1 fibers by selecting a base fiber for its mechanical...
