Differentiate btw Alloy and composite
Answers
Explanation:
Both alloys and composites are a mixture of elements. The main difference between alloy and composite is their composition. An alloy has at least one metal in its composition while composites don't have any metal components.
An alloy is a mixture of at least two elements with one of those elements being a metal. Alloys can come in both solid and solution forms. Those alloys that only contain two elements are called binary alloys, while those that contain three elements are called ternary alloys. The amount of a particular element inside of an alloy is usually measured in mass with a percentage attached to it.
A composite is, much like an alloy, a combination of at least two or more components. However, while an alloy always contains a metal in it, a composite does not have any metal included in its mixture. The components in a composite are also always chemically and physically different from one another. These materials are commonly called constituent materials.
