- Alloys are metal mixtures with other elements, the precise combination of which is governed by the properties required. In general, alloys are considered metallic in nature, i.e. they have good thermal and electrical conductivity. An alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a nonmetal.
- Alloys have a wide variety of uses. The creation of alloys actually reduces the material’s price and maintains the metal’s desired properties. The combination of metals improves material properties and offers resistance to oxidation and mechanical strength.
- The brass alloy is used for many home decorative items and consists of copper and zinc. The combination of these metals makes the brass solid and robust. The door buttons and high-quality locks all make of brass.

- An alloy is a combination of metals or metals combined with one or more other elements.
- For example, combining the metallic elements gold and copper produces red gold, gold and silver becomes white gold, and silver combined with copper produces sterling silver.
