  • Examples of alloys are brass, solder, and bronze.

Tuning fork:

  • It is a two-prolonged metal fork which is used to tune instruments.
  • It is made up of an alloy of Nickel, steel and Chromium known as Elinvar.
  • Elinvar is used to make tuning forks because its elasticity does not change.
