What is an Alloy? An alloy is a solid combination of atoms of two or more metals
Examples of Alloys • Brass- made of Copper and Zinc • Bronze- Made of Copper with phosphorous, tin, zinc, and other elements • Steel- Iron with Carbon • Other common alloys are Pewter, 14 Carat gold, and White gold
Metals and alloys(article) • The aluminum alloy is used, along with manganese to create the aluminum soda can. The aluminum soda can is very convenient and light weight. It is hard to believe that the soda can is made from more than a foot of aluminum alloy.
Gold Alloys • When you buy jewelry, the gold you buy isn’t really gold. It is an alloy mixed and is indicated by the number of karats it contains. 24 karat gold is the most expensive of them all.
