उत्तर
- The homogenous mixture formed by mixing metal with other metals or nonmetals in a certain proportion is called an alloy.
- 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.
- For example, bronze is an alloy formed from 90% copper and 10% tin. Bronze statues do not get affected by the 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.
- In recent times various types of alloys are used for minting coins.
