Steel is a metal alloy whose major component is iron, with carbon content between 0. 02 % and 2. 14 % by mass.

This is sometimes a result of the sizes of the atoms in the alloy, because larger atoms exert a compressive force on neighboring atoms, and smaller atoms exert a tensile force on their neighbors, helping the alloy resist deformation.

However, for most alloys there is a particular proportion of constituents ( in rare cases two )— the eutectic mixture — which gives the alloy a unique melting point.

An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements in solid solution in which the major component is a metal.

The continuous heating of the molten alloy causes the tin and antimony in the mixture to rise to the top and oxidize along with other impurities into a substance called " dross " which has to be skimmed off.

The mixture must then be assayed and tin and antimony added back ( in the form of a specially proportioned alloy ) to restore the original strength and properties of the alloy.

If there is only one pure liquid substance in a mixture, the choice is clear, but not all solutions are this clear-cut: in an alcohol-water solution, either one could be called the solvent ; in an alloy, or solid solution, there is no clear choice and all constituents may be treated alike.

The promoter changes the mixture from a binary alloy to a ternary alloy, which can leads to different quenching and leaching properties during activation.

Of all the metallic alloys in use today, the alloys of iron ( steel, stainless steel, cast iron, tool steel, alloy steel ) make up the largest proportion both by quantity and commercial value.

Such data is critical in determining the effeto of alloy constituents in a bulk material, identification of solid-state reaction features, such as solid phase precipitates.

If in an AB alloy the component A is sputtered preferentially, the surface of the solid will, during prolonged bombardment, become enriched in the B component thereby increasing the probability that B is sputtered such that the composition of the sputtered material will be AB.

For certain proportions an alloy becomes eutectic and melts at a single temperature ; non-eutectic alloys have markedly different solidus and liquidus temperature, and within that range they exist as a paste of solid particles in a melt of the lower-melting phase.

The answer to this problem, devised by the spark plug manufacturers, was a centre electrode that carried the heat of combustion away from the tip more effectively than was possible with a solid nickel alloy.

The phase transformations that occur while solidifying a given alloy can be understood by drawing a vertical line from the liquid phase to the solid phase on a phase diagram.
