A mixture containing a metal element, made by melting the different elements together.

A mixture containing a metal element made by melting the different elements together. Alloys have very different properties to the elements they're made from. For example, pure iron is soft and rusts easily, but when combined with carbon to form the alloy steel, it can become very hard and resistant to corrosion.
