An alloy is mixture combining two or more elements. The importance is that by alloying a metal, the properties can be enhanced. For example steel, which is an alloy of iron with carbon, is stronger than iron.

An alloying agent in steel and an active?
Zirconium is said to be an active component of poison ivy. It is also an alloying agent of steel. Zircon is the mineral from which zirconium is extracted.
Why is alloying necessary?
Because it improves the material properties of the resulting metal.
Are copper and zinc elements of steel?
Copper and zinc are not alloying elements for steels.
Does alloying affect the colour of a metal?
Usually. However there are other properties that affect it too.
What is a zamak?
A zamak is one of a family of alloys with a zinc base and alloying elements of aluminium, magnesium, and copper.
What is the alloying process?
Here is a link to a description of the alloying process for a generic alloy production method.
Alloying with which metal iron gets fatigue resistance?
There is no one single answer to your question as various alloying materials will achieve this. There are also various forms of fatigue failure, for instance thermal and bending, which will be affected by what alloying material is present.
An alloying agent in steel and an active?
Zirconium is said to be an active component of poison ivy. It is also an alloying agent of steel. Zircon is the mineral from which zirconium is extracted.
What two properties of gold can be altered by alloying?
gold
Why do you need nickel for?
It's primarily used for alloying.
Is stainless steel a nonalloy steel?
Stainless steel is an Alloy steel because it contains chromium as an alloying element - steels without alloying elements are called carbon steels.
Is iron used for making steel?
yes. steel is an alloy in which major alloying element are iron and carbon along with other minor alloying element such as zinc, chromium etc .
Why arsenic is used in ships?
Arsenic can be an alloying component for bronze.
Is a foil a element?
It is quite pure but does have traces of alloying metal in
Why does mild steel rust?
In mild steel there are negligeble alloying elements which has no effect on physical & chemical properties of MS. On the other hand due to alloying elements [ Ni & Cr ] oxidation is avoided.
Why is alloying necessary?
Because it improves the material properties of the resulting metal.
How is chromium used commercially?
It is THE key alloying element of stainless steel.
