Solution
A homogenous mixture of metal with another metal or a nonmetal results in the formation of an alloy. The properties of an alloy differ from the constituent metals.
- Duralumin is an alloy of Aluminum, Copper, Magnesium, and Manganese.
- In duralumin, the composition of Aluminum, Copper, Magnesium, and Manganese is 95%, 4%, 0.5%, and 0.5% respectively.
- It is hard, strong as steel and very light. It is used in aeroplanes and spacecraft.
