An alloy results when an additional element is introduced into the metalic crystal. Metal+ metal = alloy (zinc + copper + carbon = brass)
Would carbon not be a product of the reaction?

Alloys have the characteristic properties of which class of elements?
metals
Why are alloys used instead of pure metals?
Because alloys often have better properties than their parent metals. Stronger, rust resistant etc
Is a metal and an alloy the same thing?
An alloy is a type of metal (specifically, it's a solid solution of dissimilar metals). All alloys are metal, but not all metals are alloys ... pure metals (pure gold or pure copper, for example) are not alloys.
Why are alloys developed?
Alloys are "mixtures" of metals or non-metals in metals. They are developed to create new characteristics of the metals. Carbon (and other things) added to iron makes steel. Precise mixtures makes different sorts of steel alloy. Steel is stronger than iron and can have many characteristics which give superior properties for specific purposes. There is a virtual infinite number of alloys which could be made. Not all will have useful characteristics.
Why does manufacturing alloys make a more beneficial metal?
Alloys have improved mechanical properties, hardness, resistance to corrosion, resistance to heating, stable crystalline structure etc. compared with pure metals.
Alloys have the characteristic properties of which class of elements?
metals
What properties of metals allow them to be recycled?
they can be melted, mixed with other metals(alloys)
How does technology improve metals?
By developing different alloys with better properties.
Why are alloys prepared?
Alloys have useful properties that are not found in the pure metals from which they are mixed. You can make alloys that are stronger, lighter, more corrosion resistant, and so forth, as compared to pure metals at a comparable price range.
What Stainless steel has chemical properties such as?
Alloys have better properties than single metals.

What has the author E E Billinghurst written?
E. E. Billinghurst has written: 'Tensile properties of cast titanium alloys' -- subject(s): Titanium alloys, Mechanical properties, Metals
What are three advantages of some alloys when compared to pure metals?
Alloys are sometimes more useful than pure metals because alloys are stronger - or tougher (toughness is resistance to fracture). Pure metals tend to be softer than alloys and therefore tend to get dented, scratched, or broken/fractured more easily. Alloys are often lower cost than pure metals but not necessarily so. As an example, stainless steel is more expensive than pure iron.
The properties of alloys most resemble?
metals :) ~_~ ^_^ @_@ A_A !_! *_* ^-^im kinda board but the answer is metal hoped it helped.
What is meant by metallurgy?
Extraction of metals from its ores and formation of ores. Studying their properties, their alloys,refining of ores.
How is alloys made?
Many alloys are made by melting metals and mixing them together in carefully measured amounts.
