Alloys metals & non-metal class 10 science
ALLOYS An alloy may be defined as homogeneous mixture of two or more metals, or a metal & a non-metal. The properties of any metal can be changed if it is mixed with some other metal or non-metal. This mixture is called ALLOYS. Preparation of Alloys: An alloy is generally manufactured by first melting the main Metal and then dissolving the other elements in it in a definite proportions. It is then cooled to room temperature. Types of Alloys: 1. Ferrous Alloys: An alloy in which iron is present as one of the constituents is known as a ferrous alloy. For ex, nickel steel (iron=96-98%, ni=4-2%) & manganese steel ( Fe=86%, Mn=13%, C=1%) etc. 2. Non ferrous Alloys: An alloy which does not contain iron as one of the constituents is known as a non- ferrous alloy. For ex, brass ( cu= 80%, zn=20%), bronze( Cu=90%, Sn=10%), etc. 3. Amalgams: An alloy which contains mercury as one of the c...
