brass, steel and bronze are the most common alloys. they are made of:

brass: 35% zinc and 65% copper - uses, Musical Instruments

steel: 99% iron and 1% carbon - uses, tools, car bodies etc

bronze: 87.5% copper and 12.5% tin - uses, boat hardware and screws etc

some not so common alloys are alnico (aluminium and nickel and cobalt - used to make magnets) and stainless steel (18% chromium, 80.6% iron, 1% nickel and 0.4% carbon - used to make surgical tools and tableware and cookware.)

Compare and contrast the two types of metal alloys?

Ferrous alloys contain iron as the base metal, while non-ferrous alloys do not. Ferrous alloys are typically magnetic and have higher strength but lower corrosion resistance compared to non-ferrous alloys. Non-ferrous alloys, on the other hand, are lighter, have better corrosion resistance, and are often used in applications where magnetic properties are not desirable.
