define alloy write any four properties of alloy with example (any four) with their constituent metal or non metal and write the function of each
Answers
Answer:
Alloys are metallic compounds composed of one metal and one or more metal or non-metal element.
Examples of common alloys:
Steel, a combination of iron (metal) and carbon (non-metal)
Bronze, a combination of copper (metal) and tin (metal) and
Brass, a mixture of copper (metal) and zinc (metal)
Properties of alloys:
Individual pure metals may possess useful properties such as good electrical conductivity, high strength, and hardness, or heat and corrosion resistance. Commercial metal alloys attempt to combine these beneficial properties in order to create metals more useful for particular applications than any of their component elements.
Steel, for example, requires the right combination of carbon and iron (about 99% iron and 1% carbon, as it turns out) in order to produce a metal stronger, lighter and more workable metal than pure iron.
Precise properties of new alloys are difficult to calculate because elements do not just combine to become a sum of parts; rather, they form through chemical interactions which depend upon component parts and specific production methods. As a result, much testing is required in the development of new metal alloys.
Answer:
Alloy are mixture of 2 or more metals and nonmetal. Eg- brass,chrome,etc
Explanation:
As we know that anything is not perfect so even the metals have their own drawback i.e corrosion so hans develop a mixture of metals + nonmetal to overcome this problem.
I stated only one problem here there are many more.
Hope it helps
