Abstract: An age hardened spinodally decomposed alloy prepared by powder metallurgy consisting essentially of from about 5 to about 30 percent by weight nickel, from about 4 to about 13 percent by weight tin, from about 0.5 to about 3.5 percent by weight cobalt and the balance copper exhibits an excellent combination of strength, ductility, formability and electrical conductivity characteristics.

Abstract: The ductility and electrical conductivity of an age hardened spinodally decomposed copper-nickel-tin alloy can be improved, without detracting from the alloy's strength properties, by reducing the nickel content of the alloy and adding from about 3.5 to about 7 weight percent, based upon the weight of the alloy, of cobalt.

Abstract: Moderate strength extrudable dilute Al-Mg-Si aluminum base alloys are prepared comprising from 0.30 to 0.60% magnesium, from 0.45 to 0.70% silicon and from 0.10 to 0.30% copper, which may also include controlled amounts of elements such as chromium, zirconium, manganese, iron, zinc and titanium, wherein the silicon content must not exceed more than 0.30% over that needed to combine with magnesium and iron. Such alloys display lower hot flow stresses and reduced quench sensitivity as compared to AA Alloy 6063 while achieving the same strength levels.
