alloys

     

An alloy is a soli solution or homogeneous mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, which itself has metallic properties. It usually has different properties from those of its component elements.

Trivia about alloys

  • Physical metallurgy generally deals with these, defined as metals made of several elements
  • (Jon of the Clue Crew reports from the lab, where he rolls a coin down an inclined plane.) Inside vending machines, magnets pick up steel slugs, but U.S. coins go right in, because they're minted from non-magnetic mixed metals, known as these
