Copper is the principal alloying metal in some sterling silver and gold alloys.
The type of carbide that chromium forms depends on the amount of carbon and other types of alloying elements present.
An alloying element intentionally added to modify the characteristics of chromium hydride is titanium.
The action of the alloying element is known to be segregation to grain boundaries of the solid metal and alteration of the grain boundary properties.
The portable art associated with this time included sophisticated metalworking, including alloying of metals and soldering.
Alloying silver with other metals changes the melting point, adhesion and wetting characteristics, and tensile strength.
Manganese is essential to all steel making; it is not just an alloying metal.
The import of many of these alloying elements is the responsibility of private enterprise.
