Alloys of metals are just mixtures of various metals in different proportions.
This is done to give the properties of one metal to the other; or properties neither possess alone.
For example, steel is stronger than iron, its base metal; brass and bronze are stronger than copper and respectively, zinc or tin, their base metals.
Mild steel is unusual, being an alloy of iron and non-metal, Carbon, which in the right proportion allows the steel to be hardened and tempered to make cutting-tools and springs. Add chromium and nickel to iron, and you have Stainless Steel, resistant to rusting.
So alloys are made for a great variety of purposes needing specific properties.

What is a mix of metals called?
A mixture of two or more metals is called an alloy. Alloys make sure that the end product has the combined desirable qualities of each of the metals that have been used.
What is an alloy - is brass an alloy?
An alloy is a mixture of two or more different metals. The metals in an alloy aren't chemically bonded together as molecules. Brass is an alloy, it is a mixture of copper and zinc. Different types of brass are made for different uses, the copper normally represents between 60 and 70% of the mix, and zinc between 30 and 40%. They may also contain traces of tin and iron.
Is ceramic an alloy.?
No. An alloy contains a mix of metals, or metals with non-metals, but it has enough metal left to have metallic properties, which ceramic doesn't.
How is alloy differnat from other metals?

metals.
What is a solid-solid solution of two or more metals called?
It's called an alloy. Humans have been mixing alloys since ancient times. Often, the properties of a mixture of metals is superior to the properties of metals by themselves.
