Question

Write any two names of alloy.

Answer 1

An alloy is a chemical containing a mixture of two or more metals in different ratios. The properties of the alloy are different from the properties of the individual elements which are present in the mixture.

Complete answer:
- In the question it is asked to write about any two alloys.
- The alloys have a great use in various fields due to the new properties raised when more than one chemical is going to be mixed in different ratios.
- The alloy may contain a combination of metal and metals or a metal and non-metals.
- In an alloy it is not necessary to contain only metals in its composition.
- The alloy may be going to exist in a solid or liquid state.
- Few examples for alloys are copper alloy, steel alloy, bronze alloy and brass alloy.
- Copper alloys contain the major proportion of copper as the principal element and copper alloys have more resistant properties against the corrosion than the other alloys.
- The steel is an alloy containing iron and carbon as the metals.
- Coming to bronze, it contains copper and tin in certain proportions.
- Brass is an alloy containing copper and zinc as the metals.

Note:
Bronze alloy can be used in the construction of musical instruments, and copper alloy can be used for marine applications. The alloy which contains beryllium and copper is widely used in the preparation of springs and spring wires.
