THREE ADVANTAGES OF ALLOYING TWO OR MORE METALS AND GIVE ONE
EXAMPLE FOR EACH

Jyoti Pant · Accepted Answer

When a metal is mixed with another element, which may be a metal
or a non metal such that a new substance of homogeneous composition
is obtained, it is known as alloying and the substance is known as
an alloy An alloy is thus a homogeneous mixture of two or more
metals, or a metal and a non metal Example stainless steel,
duralumin etc An alloy is a combination of metals The advantage of
alloying is that it enhance certain properties like strength,
ductility, resistance to corrosion, durability etc to fit better
the uses they have been designed for The advantage of alloys over
pure metals is the ability to combine the best properties of
multiple metals For e g steel is more harder than pure iron, more
resistant to corrosion
Examples:
Brass - Copper and zinc
Bronze - Copper and Tin
Solder - Tin and lead
Stainless Steel - Iron, Chromium, Nickel and carbon
