One of the most common alloy is sterling silver, which has 92.5% of silver (Ag) and 7.5% of Copper (Cu).
The silver content can also be measured in milisimal fineness as 925 or 925 0/00
The reson for the alloying of silver is that pure silver (99.99%) is too soft to be used in jewellry.

Which metal is most similar to copper and why?
Copper is a metallic element. There is no equivalent. Silver has similar (but slightly higher) conductivity. There ar evarious alloys of copper that are similar but not the same.
Element used to make alloys?

How is copper graded?
Copper grades are divided into six families: coppers, dilute copper alloys, brasses, bronzes, copper-nickel alloys, and nickel-silver alloys. The grade depends on the composition.
Why are alloys sometimes instead of pure substances?
Alloys are metal mixtures. For example, Sterling silver is a mixture of silver and copper.
