Alloy
A mixture of two or more metals, or a metal and another element, created to have improved properties like strength or corrosion resistance.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
An alloy is a metallic material composed of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, combined to achieve enhanced physical and chemical properties (e.g., strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, thermal stability) superior to those of the constituent pure metals, widely used in aerospace for structural components.
BACKGROUND
