Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Alloys are homogeneous mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a non metal.
Properties : Alloys are stronger/ harder/ have low melting point/ more resistant to corrosion/ some are magnetic in nature.
Detalied Answer : Alloys are the homogeneous mixture of two or more metlas. Example : Duralumin, steel.
Two properties of alloys are :
(i) They are stronger than metal from which they are made.
(ii) They are more resistant to corrosion.
