Alloy Families

Browse alloy families organized by metal base and designation system.

Alloy Steel

Steel

Steel alloyed with elements like chromium, molybdenum, or vanadium to enhance strength, hardness, or toughness beyond plain carbon steel.

11 alloys Featured

Aluminum Alloy

Aluminum

Aluminum combined with copper, magnesium, silicon, or zinc to improve strength and machinability while retaining low density.

57 alloys Featured

Bearing Steel

Steel

High-carbon, high-chromium steel engineered for extreme hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue life in rolling-element bearings.

3 alloys Featured

Carbon Steel

Steel

Iron-carbon alloy where carbon content (0.05–2.1%) primarily determines hardness and tensile strength. The most widely produced steel type.

9 alloys Featured

Copper Alloy

Copper

Copper combined with tin (bronze), zinc (brass), or other elements to improve corrosion resistance, conductivity, or machinability.

High-Entropy Alloy (MPEA)

Other

Multi-principal element alloys with 5+ elements in near-equiatomic ratios.

585 alloys

Nickel Alloy

Nickel

Nickel-based alloys known for exceptional heat and corrosion resistance, widely used in aerospace turbines and chemical processing.

Spring Steel

Steel

Medium-to-high carbon steel with high yield strength, allowing it to flex repeatedly under load and return to its original shape.

2 alloys Featured

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Iron-carbon alloy containing at least 10.5% chromium, which forms a passive oxide layer that resists corrosion and staining.

43 alloys Featured

Structural Steel

Steel

Carbon-manganese steel produced in standard shapes (I-beam, angle, channel) for load-bearing construction and infrastructure applications.

12 alloys Featured

Titanium Alloy

Titanium

Titanium combined with aluminum, vanadium, or other metals to achieve a high strength-to-weight ratio with excellent corrosion resistance.

Tool Steel

Steel

High-carbon steel alloyed for hardness, abrasion resistance, and heat resistance, used to make cutting, shaping, and forming tools.
