A substance having metallic properties and combined by the fusion or diffusion of two or more chemical elements, of which at least one is an elemental metal Silver with a purity less than 999 is an alloy
a substance possessing metallic properties and composed of two or more elements of which at least one must be a metal The term refers to those cases where there is an intentional addition to a metal for the purpose of improving certain properties
A substance that has the properties of a metal and is made up of two or more elements These elements are almost always metals For example, bronze is an alloy of copper and tin
A substance composed of two or more metals or of a metal and a nonmetal intimately united usually by being fused together and dissolving in each other when molten (Latin alligare, to bind)
A substance composed of two or more metals, or of a metal and a non-metal constituent; a mixture of metals; for example, brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc But when mercury is one of the metals, the compound is called an amalgam
a combination of two or more metals in which the consituent materials are effectively maximized; in other words, materials are mixed together to produce, for example, a stronger metal ANGLE OF ATTACK: the degree of descent of the clubhead approaching the ball immediately prior to impact AUTOCLAVE: a pressurized steam-heated vessel, used in the construction of graphite shafts, which applies heat and pressure to material during the curing processs
A metal that is manufactured by combining two or more molten metals An alloy is always harder than its component metals Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin
a mixture containing two or more metallic elements or metallic and nonmetallic elements usually fused together or dissolving into each other when molten; "brass is an alloy of zinc and copper"
An alloy is a metal that is made by mixing two or more types of metal together. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. a metal that consists of two or more metals mixed together (aloi, from aloyer , from alligare; ALLY). to mix one metal with another. Metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a mixture, compound, or solid solution. The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon is an essential nonmetal component of steel. Alloys are usually produced by melting the mixture of ingredients. The value of alloys was discovered in very ancient times; brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin) were especially important. Today the most important are the alloy steels, which have a wide range of special properties, including hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, magnetizability, and workability
