An alloy of iron and chromium.
Industry:Mining
An alloy of iron and one or more other elements useful for making alloy additions in steel or ironmaking.
Industry:Mining
An alloy of iron and vanadium.
Industry:Mining
An alloy of nickel and iron, containing about 36% nickel, and having an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion. It is used in the construction of surveying instruments, such as pendulums, level rods, first-order leveling instruments, and tapes.
Industry:Mining
An alloy steel that contains one alloying element; the term is synonymous with a simple alloy steel. It contains the one element plus the iron and carbon, hence ternary.
Industry:Mining
An alloy used in drill-bit-crown matrices and in making bit and reaming-shell inserts by powder methods in which the principal constituent is tungsten, generally in the form of carbide. Tungsten carbide powder usually is mixed with a powdered cobalt or other metal to bind it together in a cohesive mass.
Industry:Mining
An alloy usually containing 90% or more of platinum. The remaining percentage is of iridium, which is necessary to produce an alloy sufficiently stiff for use in gem mountings.
Industry:Mining
An alloy, rich in one or more alloying elements, added to a melt either to permit closer composition control than is possible by addition of pure metals or to introduce refractory elements not readily alloyed with the base metal.
Industry:Mining
An alloy, rich in one or more desired addition elements, that can be added to a melt to raise the percentage of a desired constituent.
Industry:Mining
An alluvial fan with steep slopes; it is generally higher and narrower than a fan, and is composed of coarser and thicker material believed to have been deposited by larger streams. The term is sometimes used synonymously with alluvial fan. Compare: alluvial fan
