Explanation:

an alloy is an mixture of two or more metals

paulamishah: An alloy of iron, chromium(>10wt%) and nickel is a stainless steel.

Depending on the amount of chromium and nickel, any processing work/heat treatment done, and the amounts of any other alloying elements(and what those other elements are), the alloy will have different properties and will be called by different names due to this.

Answer:

a metal made by mixing two types of metal together

Nichrome Nickel 20/ and Chromium80/

Because of its low cost of manufacture, strength, ductility, resistance to oxidation, stability at high temperatures, and resistance to the flow of electrons, nichrome is widely used in electric heating elements in applications such as hair dryers and heat guns.
