What are Alloys/Why are metals alloyed. Alloys are combinations or mixtures of elements. Metals are alloyed to improve on properties of pure metals such as hardness, strength, corrosion resistance, etc. Alloys may behave differently when combined, some mix easily while others will only be soluble to a limited extent. Thermal Equilibrum diagrams seek to interpret how alloys combine.

Solid Solution AlloysTwo metals are completely soluble in each other. Solid solution alloys are normally: •Substitutional solid solution or, •Interstitial solid solution. Copper-nickel alloy is a solid solution .
