What Are Alloys Made Of?
Alloys are merged materials composed of a primary base element combined with various secondary elements. The base element provides the fundamental structure and typically the solubility medium that disperses the other components uniformly, while the secondary elements are added in specific proportions to adjust and bequeath desirable properties of the final material. The resulting alloy […]
