Alloy

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to make the perfect cup of coffee, but each ingredient alone isn't quite giving you the flavor you want. Just like blending different coffee beans or adding milk and sugar can create a more enjoyable drink, combining different metals or a metal with a nonmetal in an alloy can produce a material with improved properties. In both cases, the goal is to combine components to achieve a result that is better than the sum of its parts—whether you're enhancing flavor in your coffee or enhancing strength, durability, or resistance in an alloy.
