Isomorphous Alloys

Isomorphous alloys are combinations of two or more metals that have similar crystal structures and atomic sizes. Because their atomic arrangements are compatible, they mix uniformly at the atomic level, forming a single solid phase without separating into different parts. This creates an alloy with consistent composition and properties throughout. An example is a copper-nickel alloy, where both metals share similar crystal structures, allowing them to blend seamlessly. Isomorphous alloys are important in engineering and materials science for designing materials with specific, desirable properties by combining metals that dissolve into each other uniformly.
