What is an alloy?

An alloy is a solution made up of two or more metal elements or metal and non-metal elements. Alloys can be a homogeneous solid solution, a heterogeneous mixture of tiny crystals, a true chemical compound, or a mixture of these. Alloys tend to have properties that are uncharacterized from any of its foundation metals, as they are engineered to have particular properties./h6>
