Summary

Description

1.25" diameter X 1 inch thick. From left,

  1. beryllium copper (mostly copper) good for springs & no-spark tools
  2. Inconel, a nickel-copper alloy (mostly nickel) high strength at high temperatures.
  3. Steel. Iron + carbon, but not too much.
  4. Titanium. Talk about hard! I killed 2 files taking saw marks off my first Ti sample.
  5. Aluminum. Not as hard, lighter, softer
  6. Magnesium. Really light. Really soft. Some hard Italian cheeses are harder, I'd swear it.
