Metals
Non - ferrous
Aluminium - Lightweight, ductile, malleablke, corrosion resistant, electrical amd thermal conductor - Drinks cans, aircraft bodies, bike frames, window frames, packaging, baking foil 
Copper - Ductile, malleable, tough, corrosion resistant, good electrical and thermal conductor - Electrical wire, printed electrical circuits, water pipes, hot water tanks, central heating pipes
Zinc - Low melting point, good corrosion resistance - Galvanising steel as a protectivecoating for dustbins, buckets, farm gates, intricate die castings
Silver - Maleable, ductile, corrosion resistant, can be soldered - Jewellery, cutlery, used for plating other materials
Gold - Maleable, ductile, corrosion resistant, can be soldered - Jewellery, electronic componenets, connectors, swithc componenets
Titanium - Hard, similar strength to steel but more lightweight, high resistance to corrosion - Joint replecement, tooth implants, spectacle frames, aircraft, spacecraft, golf clubs, bicycles, ship hulls
Tin - Ductile, malleable, low melting point, corrosion resistant - Soft solderm coatings for food cans, rarely used in pure form
Non - ferrous alloys
Bronze - Tough, corrosion resistantm can be cast, 90 per cent copper, 10 per cent tin - Statues, coins, bearings
Brass - Corrosion resistant, good electrical and thermal conductor, low melting point, casts well - Boats fittings, door furniture, cast valaves and taps, ornaments
Duralium - Equivalent strength properties to low carbon steel but more lightweight, ductile, becomes harder as it is worked - Aircraft parts, vehicle parts
Pewter - Malleable, low melting point, casts well, 85-99 per cent tin, with the remainder consising of copper and antimony - Tankards, flasks, goblets, photo frames, decorative items, canlesticks, sprts trophies
Ferrous
Low carbon steel - Ductile, high tensile strength, tough, malleable, poor resistance to corrosion - Nuts, bolts, washers, screws, car bodies, outer panels for white goods
Medium carbon steel - Harder than low carbon steel but less ductile, malleable and tough - springs, gardening tools
Cast iron - Hard outer skin but brittle core, good under compression - Disc brakes, machine partsm engine blocks, sheet furniturem for example decorative bollardsm bins and lighting
Ferrous alloys
Stainless steel - toughm hard, corrosion resistant, 18 per cent chrome, 8 per cent nickel - Sinks, kitchenware, cutlery
High speed steel - Hard, tough, high level of resistance to frictional heat. 18 per cent tungsten, 4 per cent chromium, 1 per cent vanadium, 0.5-0.8 per cent carbon - Tool blades, drill bits, milling cutters, router bits
Die steel - Hard, tough - Blanking punches and dies, extruder dies, fine press tools
