Misunderstanding Alloys

Students often think that all metals are pure and do not recognize that most metals used in everyday life are actually alloys.

Emphasize that an alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, where at least one is a metal, and that most metals in common use are alloys designed to enhance properties such as strength and resistance.
