An alloy is a hybrid of different types of material, at least one of which is metal. Alloy metals can be made with the bars (or in some cases directly from the ore) of their components at a smelter. Most alloys have only two components, but all of them additionally use some fuel in their creation. An alloy usually improves on the properties of its components to give more uses and value.
