Ferroalloy refers to various alloys of iron with a high proportion of one or more other elements such as manganese, aluminium, or silicon.

Flame fougasse

This assembly was placed in a rubber sponge bag that was, in turn, inside a used cocoa tin; four ounces (100 g) of magnesium alloy turnings were added, the electrical wires were passed through a small hole in the lid of the tin which was then tightly fitted.

Frank Kasper phases

While addition of refractory elements like W, Mo or Re to FK phases helps to enhance the thermal properties in such alloys as steels or nickel-based super alloys, it increases the risk of unwanted precipitation in intermetallic compounds.

Geodetic airframe

Barnes Wallis, inspired by his earlier experience with light alloy structures and the use of geodesically-arranged wiring to distribute the lifting loads of the gasbags in the design of the R100 airship, evolved the geodetic construction method (although it is commonly stated, there was no geodetic structure in R100).
