What is an example of a alloy and how its properties may make it more useful than a pure metal?

An example of an alloy is stainless steel, which is primarily composed of iron, carbon, and chromium. The addition of chromium enhances its corrosion resistance, making it more durable and suitable for applications like kitchenware and medical instruments compared to pure iron, which rusts easily. Additionally, stainless steel has improved strength and toughness, allowing it to withstand stress and high temperatures better than pure metals. This combination of properties makes stainless steel highly versatile and useful in a variety of environments.
