  • solder - alloy, typically of tin and lead although other metals are sometimes included (e.g. silver) and there are also now lead free solder alloys available
  • copper - pure
  • iron - may be mixture or alloy or pure depending on type of iron:
  1. elemental iron - pure, but mechanically weak
  2. cast iron - alloy, of iron and carbon mechanically strong but brittle
  3. wrought iron - mixture, of cast iron and slag inclusions treated with many heating and hammer forging cycles which reduces the brittleness and improves the flexibility

Can you have an example of alloys?

An alloy is a solution of metals and/or combined with one or more non-metals. It is a solution because one metal (solid) dissolves in another metal (solid) and may contain other elements (solid) as well. An alloy retains the properties common to metal, but is not pure metal.Examples:Brass (copper and zinc)Steel (iron and carbon)Bronze (copper and tin)
