Can INVAR alloy be used as a magnetic core?
Invar can be used as magnetic core material, but there are better choices. Invar is alloyed for its thermal stability. It is iron with a good percentage of nickel. Remember that magnetic core material is usually laminated or is "powdered" in a way to electrically isolate the "bits" of core material so eddy currents will be reduced.

Why an alloy is harder that the individual metals that make it up?
All the best bits from all the metals are combined to make a 'super metal'!! Scientists use the best bits from different metals to design and build metals perfect for different uses. Hope this helped!
How do you work out density of an alloy given its make up?
If you are given its makeup you should be able to make up a list of its constituent metals or elements and the weight fraction of each. Then find the densities of each. Multiply the fraction of each times its density to get the 'weight' of that element in a unit weight the alloy. Add up these 'weights' to get the weight of a unit of the alloy.
What materials make up the inner core?
The inner core of the Earth is composed of solid iron. The outer core is made up of molten metals, primarily a nickel-iron alloy.
