Here are some.
- Badly broken bones, use to but the bone straight and holding it while it heals
- Dentist braces, used so that they put constant pressure on the teeth to force them back into place.

Is there another alloy apart from jewelry?
There are a great many applications for alloys apart from jewelry. As an example - bronze and brass are alloys that are used to make parts for many machines. Stainless steel is an alloy that seems to be ubiquitous.

What are their advantages and disadvantages of ferrous and non ferrous metal?
Advantages: 1. They are highly ductile and malleable. 2. They can be machined easier and can be forged, formed to desired shapes much easier than ferrous alloys. 3. They are better conductors of elasticity and heat, hence being used in many electric and thermal applications. 4. They can be alloyed to achieve metals that have high strength Limitation 1. Since they are some of the nonferrous alloys are bad conductors of both heat and electricity, they a cannot be used is similar applications. 2. Most of the nonferrous alloys have lower melting point and hence cannot be used in thermal applications. 3. They react excessively to metallurgical processes and hence have to be dealt with higher precision.
Why alloys have low conductivity?
Alloys doesn't have a low conductivity.

What are novel applications of tungsten alloys?
The hardness and heat resistance of tungsten can contribute to useful alloys. Tungsten's high melting point makes tungsten a good material for applications like submarine ballistics. Tungsten alloys are used in a wide range of applications, including the aerospace and automotive industries and radiation shielding.Superalloys containing tungsten, such as Hastelloy are used in turbine blades and resistants. Tungsten's heat resistance makes it useful in composite applications as can be a highly-conductive metal to withstand the high temperatures.
Is Aluminum a fossil fuel?
No, aluminum is not a fossil fuel. It is a metal to which different alloys are added for specific applications.
Is aluminum fossil fuel?

Is nickel used as a titanium alloy?
There are nickel-base superalloys and titanium-base alloys that are used for similar applications, usually in gas turbines. The two types of alloys are quite distinct, but may be used nearly interchangeably for certain applications. I hope this clears any confusion you may have.
