Question

Which of the following properties of elements can be modified by the formation of alloys?

• A. Resistance to corrosion
• B. Toughness
• C. Malleability & ductility
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Alloys are used in some applications, where their properties are superior to those of the pure component elements, for a given application. This can include improvement in corrosion resistance (like stainless steel), toughness (like carbon-iron alloys) and malleability-ductility (like wrought iron).
