Question

Two advantages of alloys over pure metals

Answer 1

Answer:

1. They are lighter and stronger.
2. Corrosion free

Answer 2

Alloys are made up by mixing various types of metals together in fixed proportions.

Explanation:

• Alloys are widely used and are also favoured over pure metals.
• These is because they are much stronger than the pure metals.
• For example, steel the alloy made up by mixing iron with other metals are much more stronger and hard than iron.
• Alloys are generally more resistant than the pure metals, and hence are widely used in harsh conditions like high salinity, etc.
• For example, the nickel alloy is more resistant to corrosion as compared to iron which is a pure metal.
