प्रश्न
Why are alloys made?
उत्तर
Pure metals generally do not have all the properties of a good metal, such as malleability, ductility, tensile strength, hardness, resistance to corrosion etc. Hence, alloys are made to enhance these properties. An alloy will have a better quality than the individual metals (or a non-metal) that form it.
