An alloy is a solution of metals and/or combined with one or more non-metals. It is a solution because one metal (solid) dissolves in another metal (solid) and may contain other elements (solid) as well. An alloy retains the properties common to metal, but is not pure metal.

Examples:

Brass (copper and zinc)

Steel (iron and carbon)

Bronze (copper and tin)
