Alloy manufacturing involves the process of creating materials made from two or more metals, or a metal and another element. This combination enhances specific properties, such as strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. Common alloys include steel, which is a mix of iron and carbon, and bronze, made from copper and tin. The manufacturing process typically includes melting the base metals, mixing them in precise proportions, and then cooling the mixture to form solid alloys. These materials are widely used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and construction, due to their improved performance compared to pure metals.
