What is an Alloy? Alloys are metallic materials consisting of two or more elements combined in such a way that they cannot be readily separated by physical means. More than 90% of metals used are in the form of alloys. They represent an enormous family of engineering materials that provide a wide range of products with useful properties.
Types of Alloys: Stainless Steel Alloy Brass Alloy Sterling Silver Alloy
Stainless Steel Alloy and its Uses. This name stainless steel is commonly referred to those metal alloys comprising 10.5% or more Chromium (Cr) and 50% Iron (Fe) in it. There are different types of stainless steel depending on the amount of chromium, iron and other metals in them. The chromium present in it gives stainless steel its highly corrosion resistant property. Pure iron is unstable and corrodes naturally by rust formation. By the addition of chromium, iron is prevented from combining with oxygen and water to form rust.
