An alloy is a mixture of chemical elements of which in most cases at least one is a metallic element, although it is also sometimes used for mixtures of elements; herein only metallic alloys are described. Metallic alloys often have properties that differ from those of the pure elements from which they are made.

alloy, metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution. The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon, a nonmetal, is an essential constituent of steel. Alloys are usually produced by melting the mixture of ingredients.

2023年7月1日 · Definition of Alloys. An alloy is defined as a combination of materials composed of two or more metallic elements, or a metallic element combined with one or more non-metallic elements. The resultant alloy exhibits distinct characteristics compared to the constituent elements, such as enhanced strength and hardness.

2020年11月11日 · An alloy is a substance made by combining together two or more elements where the primary element is a metal. Most alloys form by melting the elements together. Upon cooling, an alloy crystallizes into a solid, intermetallic compound, or mixture that cannot be separated using a physical method.

Total alloy content can range from 2.07% up to levels just below that of stainless steels, which contain a minimum of 10% chromium. For many low-alloy steels, the primary function of the alloying elements is to increase hardenability to optimize mechanical properties and toughness after heat treatment.

2021年10月12日 · Some of the common alloys are Brass, Steel, Stainless steel, Bronze, Solder, amalgam etc. The compositions of various alloys are given below: Bronze was the first alloy to be discovered. It’s made up of copper and tin. It has a copper content of 90% and a …

List of Important Alloys and their Composition: (1) Aluminium Alloys (2) Copper Alloys (3) Magnesium Alloys (4) Nickel Alloys (5) Steel Alloys. These are preferred to pure aluminium for constructional purposes. They are hard and strong. They contain copper, silicon, magnesium, manganese, iron and nickel in various combinations.

2017年8月29日 · An alloy is a mixture of metals that has bulk metallic properties different from those of its constituent elements. Alloys can be formed by substituting one metal atom for another of similar size in the lattice (substitutional alloys), by inserting smaller atoms into holes in the metal lattice (interstitial alloys), or by a combination of both.
