An alloy is a metallic material that contains at least one metal and one or more other elements, and is mixed to the point where the material is homogenous (all parts have the same proportions of elements).

Examples are:

  • Steel - iron and carbon
  • Stainless steel - iron, carbon, chromium, and sometimes nickel and other elements
  • Pewter - lead and copper
  • Brass - copper and zinc

That's a mix of metals; or perhaps of metals with smaller amounts of non-metals (such as steel, which usually contains carbon). An alloy has properties similar to a metal; but a metal is an element, while an alloy is a mix.
