Binary Alloys

Binary alloys are materials made by combining two different metals to create a new substance with unique properties. By mixing metals like copper and zinc, engineers can produce alloys such as brass, which often has improved strength, durability, or corrosion resistance compared to the individual metals. These alloys are designed by varying the proportion of each metal, allowing for customization based on specific needs. The atoms of each metal bond together at the microscopic level, forming a uniform material that benefits from the combined characteristics. Binary alloys are fundamental in manufacturing tools, jewelry, and industrial components.
