Copper and copper alloys are some of the most versatile engineering materials available. The combination of physical properties such as strength, conductivity, corrosion resistance, machinability and ductility make copper suitable for a wide range of applications. These properties can be further enhanced with variations in composition and manufacturing methods.  7, record 1, English, - copper%20alloy

Light alloys and light metals have low density and high strength-to-weight ratios. Light weight metals include aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and beryllium alloys. Light alloys and light metals are usually less toxic than heavy metals, though beryllium is toxic.... Aluminum-lithium alloys are examples of newer, high-performance, light aluminum metal alloys. Special properties of light alloys and light metals include excellent corrosion resistance and stiffness. Titanium has superior corrosion resistance compared to most light alloys and light metals. The Mg-Li [magnesium-lithium] alloy is the lightest structural alloy available in the light alloys and light metals markets.... Light alloys and light metals are used in [engineering design and also in] automotive, aircraft, aerospace vehicles, and marine applications to provide weight savings and reduced fuel consumption.  1, record 3, English, - light%20alloy
