Alloys can also be formed from combinations of metals and other elements. The properties exhibited by alloys are often quite different from the properties of their individual components. It is not uncommon for alloys to have greater strength and hardness when compared to pure metals. An example of an alloy is red gold, which is produced by alloying copper and gold together. Another important alloy of gold is white gold, which is produced by alloying silver and gold together.

The typical composition of bell metal is: Copper (Cu) – 78% Tin (Sn) – 22% Steel Steel is an alloy that is extremely popular...
