A mixture of two metals or of a metal and a nonmetal

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to make the perfect smoothie by blending different fruits to balance sweetness and tartness. This process is similar to creating an alloy, where different metals, or a metal and a nonmetal, are combined to balance and enhance their individual properties. Just as the right mix of fruits creates a smoothie with a delightful taste and texture, the right combination in an alloy results in a material that has improved strength, durability, or other desirable characteristics compared to the individual components.
