A Mini Review on Applications and Uses of Alloys

Abstract

Alloys are mixed of metal with other metal or non-metal in the same group that are prepared by mixing of the metals in their molten state through physical processes. An alloy is a mixture of two elements, one of which is a metal. Alloys often have properties that are different to the metals they contain. This makes them more useful than the pure metals alone. For example, alloys are often harder than the metal they contain. Keywords: alloy properties, hardness and strength, metals combination, mixture of elements, physical and chemical properties
