What is a simple definition of 'alloy'?
An alloy is a blend of 2 or more metals. For example, brass is an alloy of zinc and copper, because you blend zinc and copper to get brass. The properties of any metal can be changed by mixing other substances with it, this mixture is called an alloy. Another definition would be: "An alloy is an element added to another element to change its characteristics." Almost all metals are alloyed. Some with multiple elements.

What element is mixed with steel?
Almost any metal might be included in a steel alloy. The simplest alloy that is called steel is an alloy of just iron and carbon. But it is the ratio that is important (e.g. cast iron is also an alloy of just iron and carbon, but it has too much carbon making it too brittle to be steel). There are also a few nonmetals (e.g. boron, silicon) that might be included in a steel alloy.
What is the difference between brass and copper?

Is fused alloy silver the same as sterling?
92.5% silver mixed with 7.5% copper is sterling silver. In jewelry it is usually marked 925. Any other mark such as 555 or the very misleading .925, instead of 925, is not sterling. The remainder of metal in the mix, in sterling, is primarily copper. Silver mixed with copper is an alloy. Silver mixed with gold is also an alloy, called Electrum and occurs naturally. Any solid combinations of metals, two or more, is an alloy. Ti and copper is an alloy called bronze. Most alloys are not two pure metals, there are usually, almost always, other trace elements in the mix.
