Question
Write a short note on alloying.
✓
Answer
i. The homogenous mixture formed by mixing a metal with other metals or nonmetals in certain proportion is called an alloy.
ii. Majority of the metallic substances used presently are in the form of alloys. The main intention behind this is to decrease the intensity of corrosion of metals.
iii. For example, bronze is an alloy formed from $90 \%$ copper and $10 \% tin$. Bronze statues do not get affected by sun and rain. Stainless steel does not get stains with air or water and also does not rust. It is an alloy made from $74 \%$ iron, $18 \%$ chromium and $8 \%$ carbon.
iv. In recent times, various types of alloys are used for minting coins.
