The manual contains systematized data on both traditional and modern groups of non-ferrous metals and alloys. Detailed information on the composition, structure, properties and field of application of alloys based on aluminum, copper, magnesium, nickel, titanium, refractory, low-melting, noble and radioactive metals is presented. Theories and technologies of their production, as well as peculiarities of strengthening treatment of main groups of non-ferrous alloys are presented. Particularly considered are promising and largely determining at present technical progress materials, for example beryllium and its alloys.
