Abstract

Alloying is the process by which two or more metals or even metals with nonmetals are combined. It may consist of a single-phase or mixture of phases, depending on the composition of the alloy and temperature provided. Alloying is done to produce material with improved properties that cannot be gained by a single metal. As improving density of the alloy, electrical properties, color, thermal properties, strength, fatigue resistance, creep resistance and tarnish & corrosion resistance. In this review different classifications of alloys are discussed.
