alloys.....a metal made by combining two or more metallic elements, especially to give greater strength or resistance to corrosion.
amalgam....An amalgam is an alloy of mercury with another metal. Almost all metals can form amalgams with mercury, the notable exceptions being iron, platinum, tungsten, and tantalum. Silver-mercury amalgams are important in dentistry, and gold-mercury amalgam is used in the extraction of gold from ore.
chromium is the main material of stainless steel because it makes the steel rust resistant.
copper is the main constituent material in bronze
