Il several metals have been mixed together it is a mixture, if that mixture is then melted so that the metals mingle at the atomic level it is an alloy.
However for certain metals that have widely different melting points making an alloy by simply melting the mixture of those metals will not work (the lower melting temperature metals will melt first and separate from the mixture, in some cases one or metals might even evaporate before the higher melting temperature metals have begun to melt). For such alloys the metals must be melted in groups forming other alloys that must then be blended to create the final intended alloy.

When metals are melted and mixed together they are called?

When metals are melted and mixed together, they are called alloys. Alloys are made by combining two or more metallic elements to enhance their properties, such as strength or corrosion resistance. Some common examples of alloys include steel (iron and carbon) and brass (copper and zinc).

What is a Copper and silver solution called?

A copper and silver solution is called an alloy. Alloys are mixtures of two or more metals that are combined to enhance the strength, durability, or other properties of the individual metals. Copper and silver are commonly mixed together to create decorative items, jewelry, or coins.

Why are alloys regarded as mixtures?

Alloys contain two or more solids, usually metals, that are mixed together evenly bu are not chemically bonded.


What does alloy metals mean?

An alloy is a combination/compound of metals mixed together, usually a less costly metal is mixed with a more valuable one to make an alloy. Such as, 24K gold is entirely pure, but 18K gold or 22K gold is not because it is an alloy, it has been mixed by having 6 or 2 other components added.

Solution


A solid-in-solid solution of two metals is known as a what?

A solid-in-solid solution of two metals is known as an alloy. Alloys are formed when two or more metals are mixed together at the atomic level, resulting in a material with properties superior to those of its individual components.


What are mixed up metals?

Alloys are a mix of more than one metal.
