Beryllium copper (BeCu), also known as copper beryllium (CuBe), beryllium bronze and spring copper, is a copper alloy with 0.5 3 beryllium and sometimes with other alloying elements.

Bronze is an alloy of copper and approximately 10 to 20 Tin.

Silicon carbide, SiC (carborundum) is a hard, high melting solid and a well known abrasive.

The mineral form of silicon carbide was named moissanite in honor of Moissan later on in his life.

At first, he mistakenly identified the crystals as diamonds, but in 1904 he identified the crystals as silicon carbide.

Boron carbide, B4C, on the other hand, has an unusual structure which includes icosahedral boron units linked by carbon atoms.

Wouldn t it be paradoxical, then, if financial alchemy could make an ingot of gold worth dramatically more?

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5 by mass of silver and 7.5 by mass of other metals, usually copper.

In 1898 Adolph Frank and Nikodem Caro decoupled the process and first produced calcium carbide and in a subsequent step reacted it with nitrogen to calcium cyanamide.

An alloy used for liquid rocket thruster nozzles, such as in the main engine of the Apollo Lunar Modules, is the niobium alloy C 103, which consists of 89 niobium, 10 hafnium and 1 titanium.

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon containing less than 2 per cent of carbon and 1 per cent of manganese (and small amounts of silicon, phosphorous, sulphur and oxygen).
