An alloy is described as the conjugation or coexistence between two or more metallic materials that are united, the irons that are used for the alloy are iron, lead, copper and a host of metals that can be alloyed with each other. However, the alloy can also be executed in non-metallic objects such as silicon, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur and arsenic, the resulting mixture between both metals is totally homogeneous, for this the metals are taken to an extreme temperature where they melt until completely mixed.
The alloys after their manufacture have a noticeable shine, being highly conductive of thermal and electrical energy, the chemical properties of metals are preserved, but their physical properties such as ductility, malleability, hardness, among others, if they are modified. The alloys according to the conjugated materials can be classified into: ferrous alloys, these as their name indicate are made based on conjugation with iron, with other compounds that can be metallic (magnesium, nickel, copper, chromium) or non-metallic (carbon, phosphorus, selenium, silicon).
On the other hand, we can mention the materials joined by non-ferrous alloys, these mixtures are made from materials other than iron, there are copper-based alloys which are widely used in the electrical industry due to their high energy conductivity, On the other hand, there is the alloy made of aluminum, used in the aeronautical field because they are very light and are highly resistant to degradation produced by the sea or water.
