what is an alloy?? state its benefits. state the constituents and properties of any three alloys.
Answers
Explanation:
it is a homogenous mixture of two or more metal
benefit
makes the metal stronger and harder
properities
less malleable
less ductile
corrosion resitivity
high melting and boiling point
Alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals and sometimes many non-metals (eg. Carbon) are also included in this mixture.
• Benefits of alloy :
- Alloy is much more durable than the initial metals.
- The alloy is mostly corrosion proof.
- The chemical and physical properties of the alloy are much more beneficial for us,than it's initial metals.
• Constituent and properties of alloy :
- Steel : Steel is made out of iron and carbon. Steel is basically rust proof in natur.
- Bronze : Bronze is made out of copper and tin. Bronze has good amount of physical strength and decent amount of material value.
- Brass : Brass is made out of copper and zinc. Almost every physical characteristics of the brass is better than it's constituent metals.
