Equilibrium Diagrams for Alloys | Metallurgy
A substance which is composed of two or more chemical elements such that metallic atoms predominate in composition and the metallic bond predominates is called an alloy. The element present in largest proportion is called the "base metal" and all other elements present are known as "alloying elements". Alloying elements can drastically change, (improve) physical, chemical, mechanical and electrical properties [...]
