Alloys
Definition
solid metal solutions, which are harder than their constituents with lower melting point than their consituents
Term
substitutional alloy
Definition
one metal takes the place of the host metal, leaving the crystal structure in place
ex/ bronze- copper atoms are replaced by tin atoms
Term
interstitial alloy
Definition
the core structure is not iterrupted, the other metal atoms fit between the host metal's atoms
ex/ steel
