Alloy is the term used to identify an ingredient used to "change the characteristic of a base metal" or a metal that has been modified. They almost have to be solids as a liquid would vaporize when the metal is molten. Almost all metals are alloyed unless designated "pure". ie: pure gold 24 carat. Most jewelry 14 to 18 carat (alloyed).
