Rézötvözeteknél

Rézötvözeteknél refers to alloys of copper. These materials combine copper with other elements to achieve properties not found in pure copper. The addition of alloying elements can significantly alter characteristics such as strength, hardness, electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Common alloying elements include zinc, tin, aluminum, nickel, and silicon.

Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is widely recognized for its workability and corrosion resistance. Bronze, typically an alloy of copper and tin, is known for its strength and durability, historically used in tools and weapons, and today in bearings and sculptures. Aluminum bronze, a specific type of bronze containing aluminum, offers excellent strength and corrosion resistance. Copper-nickel alloys, also known as cupronickel, are valued for their resistance to seawater corrosion and are used in marine applications and coinage. Silicon bronze offers good strength and excellent weldability.

The specific properties of a copper alloy are determined by the type and proportion of alloying elements. This allows for a wide range of applications across various industries, including electronics, automotive, aerospace, construction, and decorative arts. The development of new copper alloys continues to focus on enhancing performance and sustainability for evolving technological demands.
