Question

Why do we need alloys?

Answer 1

Need for Alloys:

An alloy is a mixture of metal with another metal or non-metal.

• Alloy increases the strength of the metal.
• Pure metals are soft. The hardness of the metal can be increased by alloying it with another metal or non-metal.
• The process of alloying can lower the melting point because pure metals have high melting point.
• Enhances the tensile strength as well as the corrosion resistance.
