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.
List of alloys and their components
- Bronze from ? and copper
- Black bronze
- Bismuth bronze
- Brass from copper and zinc
- Pig Iron from iron and a flux material
- Steel from pig iron and a flux material
- Electrum from gold and silver
- Fine pewter from copper and tin
- Trifle pewter
- Lay pewter
- Billon from silver and copper
- Sterling silver from silver and copper
- Nickel silver from nickel and copper
- Rose gold from gold and copper
