With high levels of carbon you get cast iron, a very hard but brittle alloy.

With lower levels of carbon you get steel, a slightly softer but highly resilient and flexible alloy.

What is a mixture of elements that has the properties of a metal?

An alloy is a mixture of elements that has the properties of a metal. Alloys are typically made by combining a metal with one or more other elements to enhance specific characteristics such as strength, hardness, or resistance to corrosion. Examples of alloys include steel, bronze, and brass.


Why tires metal is alloy?

Metal tires are often made from alloy materials because alloys combine the properties of different metals to create a material with improved strength, durability, and performance. This makes alloy tires more resistant to wear and tear, better able to handle extreme temperatures, and more lightweight compared to tires made from a single metal.


What is a solution of two or more solids called?

If the two solids are both metals, then the result is an alloy. However, cast iron for example is a mixture of carbon and iron, so technically it may be an alloy. But a car tyre is made of rubber, chalk, sulphur, rosin, etc. I guess the only answer for this is a mixture. If the two metals are in fluid solution, then it is a mixture.


Is ordinairy nails an alloy?

Normally nails aren't made of an alloy however they are galvanized, this means they have a coating of a less reactive metal such as Zinc as to prevent rusting of the nails. Nails are normally made out of iron.
