Direction For Questions (14-16) Alloying is a very good method of improving the properties of a metal.
This gives the desired properties of the metal. For example, iron is the most widely used metal. But it is ever
used in its pure state. This is because pure iron is very soft and stretches easily when hot. But, if it is mixed
with a small amount of carbon (about 0.05%), it becomes hard and strong. When iron is mixed with nickel
and chromium, we get stainless steel, which is hard and does not rust. Thus, if iron is mixed with some other
substance, its properties change. In fact, the properties of any metal can be changed, if it is mixed with some
other substance. The substance added may be a metal or a non-metal
