Define alloy and properties of alloy

Alloy: 

• An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal. 
• Alloys are formed by combining metals with other elements to produce a material with specific properties.

 

Properties of Alloys:

• Alloys typically have improved strength, durability, and corrosion resistance compared to the individual metals used to make them.
• Alloys can have different melting and boiling points than the individual metals used to make them.
• The properties of an alloy can be tailored by controlling the composition and proportions of the elements used in its formation.
