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.

Table of alloys and their components

Alloy First component Second component Third component
Bronze Copper ?
Black bronze ? ?
Bismuth bronze ? ?
Brass Copper Zinc
Pig iron Iron Flux material
Steel Pig iron Flux material Charcoal or Coke
Fine pewter Copper Tin
Trifle pewter ? ?
Lay pewter ? ?
Billon Silver Copper
Sterling silver Silver Copper
Nickel silver Nickel Copper
Electrum Silver Gold
Rose gold Copper Gold

Each also requires one unit of charcoal or coke as fuel.
