One word answer: Zinc
An alloy is a mixture of metals and a ferrous alloy is an alloy who's main constituent is iron. Iron in itself is extremely susceptible to corrosion, however, with the addition of other metals to create a ferrous alloy, such as the addition of slag (Such as in wrought iron), Nickel (Alnico, Invar, etc), Maganese (Bismanthol), Chromium (Kanthal), Titanium (Ferrotitanium) and so on give the alloy it's corrosion resistance. So, in short, almost, if not all ferrous alloys contain a constituent that is corrosion resistant, hence why ferrous alloys are more resistant to corrosion that straight iron.
Copper (symbol Cu) is not an alloy it is an element containing only atoms of copper.
The copper nickel alloy is preferred for marine operation because of its good resistance to sea water corrosion.
Copper is an element. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin.
zinc.

An alloy is a metal that has been mixed with another metal. Aluminum alloys could contain zinc, copper, or silicon (not limited to). Gold alloys can contain copper or silver. Aluminum alloy is created to be stronger and more corrosion resistant than plain aluminum. Gold alloy is created to be cheaper. Many more alloys exist.
When you combine copper and tin, you get bronze, an alloy that is stronger and more resistant to corrosion than its individual components. Bronze has been used for thousands of years in various applications, such as sculptures, tools, and weapons.
Brass is not an element it is an alloy of zinc and copper
The copper nickel alloy is preferred for marine operation because of its good resistance to sea water corrosion.
Copper is an element. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin.
An alloy of copper and nickel produces a strong and durable coin that is relatively cheap to produce, is resistant to corrosion, and has a potentially long serviceable life span with normal use. The most common ratio for British cupro-nickel coins is 75% copper and 25% nickel, which surprisingly gives the coins a silvery appearance.
Copper is an element. Elements don't haveingredients--they are ingredients.You may be thinking of bronze, which is an alloy of copper and tin (another element).
