Answer the following questions based on the passage below with your own words.
An alloy is a substance that is formed by combining a metal with other metals, or nonmetals. For
example, brass is an alloy of the metals copper and zinc, and steel is an alloy of the metal iron with
the nonmetal carbon.
The special characteristics of metals, such as hardness, strength, flexibility, and weight are called
its properties. By the process of alloying, it is possible to create materials with the exact combination
of properties for a particular use. In the aircraft industry, there is a need for metals that are both strong
and light. Steel is strong but too heavy, whereas aluminum is light but not strong. By alloying
aluminum with copper and other metals, a material that is strong enough to withstand the stresses of

flight, but light enough to reduce the cost of fuel to lift the craft is created. By alloying steel with
nickel and chromium, the steel alloy that results is not only lighter but also stronger than solid steel.
Of course, there is an important difference between the alloys we have used in our examples and
the combination of metals that occur accidentally as impure metals. Both are mixtures, but alloys are
mixtures that have been deliberately combined in specific proportion for a definite purpose.
