Alloys

thumb|300x300px|From left to right: three alloys (beryllium copper, [[Inconel, steel) and three pure metals (titanium, aluminium, magnesium)]] An alloy is a mixture of chemical elements of which in most cases at least one is a metallic element, although it is also sometimes used for mixtures of elements; herein only metallic alloys are described. Metallic alloys often have properties that differ from those of the pure elements from which they are made. The vast majority of metals used for commercial purposes are alloyed to improve their properties or behavior, such as increased strength, hardn
