An alloy is used where a pure metal is not sufficient. As an example, the superstructure of an aircraft is aluminum. By itself it is too soft and does not have the correct properties. So Aluminum is usually alloyed with a small amount ( 2- 3% ) of copper. This makes an aerospace alloy that is extremely useful.
