3.8 Alloy Formation
  • Alloy is the solid solution obtained by replacing are metal by another metal from lattice.

  • Formation of alloys in transition metals is possible due to their smaller & nearly same atomic size.

  • The transition metals are miscible with are another in molten state which on cooling form alloy.

  • To form the alloys the metals should have atomic radius with in the limit of about $15 \%$ of each other.

  • Alloys are easily formed between transition metals due to their similar atomic radii.

  • Transition metal $Fe$ form alloys with $Cr$, $V$, $Mo$, $W$ and $Mn$.

  • Transition metals form alloys with non-transition metals like brass $(Cu-Zn)$ and bronze $(Cu-Sn)$ are also possible.
