| Definition An alloy is a metallic substance containing one or more metals and/or elements. If strictly applied, this definition would classify all metals as alloys since no metal refinement can produce an absolutely pure metal. The alloying of a metal is a concentrated effort to make it gain certain qualities or properties. Some of the metals used in alloying are nickle, chromium, molybdenum, aluminum, titanium, copper, and manganese. The alloying elements are silicon, sulfur, and carbon. Each metal or element will cause the base metal to take on different properties.
