Abstract: The disclosure provides methods of making iron-based alloys, as well as resulting alloys. An iron-based alloy containing a small amount of nickel (e.g., 0.5 to 2.0 wt%) is annealed and machined. The alloy is sufficiently ductile to reduce the likelihood of cracking, while not sufficiently high to result in a hardened alloy. After the alloy is shaped, the alloy is hardened by nitriding.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to treated titanium alloys comprising a titanium substrate coated with an oxidized surface coating or an oxide-interdiffused titanium substrate. By creating an oxidized surface coating or oxide-interdiffused titanium substrate at the titanium substrate surface, the resulting treated titanium alloy has a dark color (e.g., grey to black).

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to aluminum alloys made from recycled components. The alloys have copper (Cu) from 0.051 to 0.10 wt%, chromium (Cr) from 0.01 to 0.10 wt%, zinc (Zn) from 0.02 to 0.20 wt%, manganese (Mn) from 0.03 to 0.10 wt%, iron (Fe) in an amount of at least 0.10 wt%, silicon (Si) in an amount of at least 0.35 wt%, magnesium (Mg) in amount of at least 0.45 wt%, and the remaining wt% being Al and incidental impurities. In other aspects, the disclosure is directed to aluminum alloys having copper (Cu) from 0.010 to 0.050 wt%, chromium (Cr) from 0.01 to 0.10 wt%, zinc (Zn) from 0.01 to 0.20 wt%, manganese (Mn) from 0.03 to 0.10 wt%, iron (Fe) in an amount of at least 0.10 wt%, silicon (Si) in an amount of at least 0.35 wt%, magnesium (Mg) in amount of at least 0.45 wt%, and the remaining wt% being Al and incidental impurities. The b* color of the alloys ranges from -2 to 2, and the L* color ranges from 70 to 100.
