Study Notes
Purposes of Alloys
- One of the purposes of making alloys is to combine the benefits of different metals, such as strength, corrosion resistance, and ductility.
Amalgams
- An example of an amalgam is a mixture of mercury and another metal, such as silver or gold, often used in dentistry.
Slag
- Slag is a byproduct of smelting or refining metals, and a component of it is the waste material removed from the furnace.
