The 40 Copper Alloys
regularly available in the USA
Variations of the alloys
   Remember - many of the alloys below occur in several variations (7 variations of copper, for example). This is often because of very minor variations in the metallurgy of the alloy that enhance a particular characteristic of the alloy, such as ductility or machinability. These changes in metallurgy give rise to variations different enough to warrent assigning the alloys their own UNS number, but not different enough to assign them a different name.
   These variations are grouped together below. They are the same color, and can be specified interchangeably for ornamental work. Simply let your fabricator know which form of the alloy you would like, and indicate that any of the alloys in the group will be satisfactory. The supplier will then provide the appropriate forms of that metal in any of the interchangeable alloys of that metal.
