A malleable alloy is an alloy (mixture of metals) than can be easily shaped by tools without shattering.

Malleable alloys are materials that can be permanently deformed under compressive stress without rupturing. These alloys can be shaped into various forms without breaking, making them ideal for applications that require extensive shaping processes, such as metalworking and forging. Examples of malleable alloys include brass, bronze, and some types of steel.
Bronze is an alloy made of copper and tin. It is known for its strength, durability, and historical significance in tools, weapons, and art. Stainless steel is an alloy made of iron, chromium, and nickel. It is corrosion-resistant, strong, and widely used in various applications ranging from kitchenware to surgical instruments.
The plural of alloy is alloys.
Ferrous alloys contain iron as the base metal, while non-ferrous alloys do not. Ferrous alloys are typically magnetic and have higher strength but lower corrosion resistance compared to non-ferrous alloys. Non-ferrous alloys, on the other hand, are lighter, have better corrosion resistance, and are often used in applications where magnetic properties are not desirable.
Tube Alloys was created in 1942.
No, silicon and germanium are not always used in alloys. Silicon is commonly used in alloys, such as in aluminum-silicon alloys. Germanium is less commonly used in alloys due to its high cost and limited availability compared to other alloying elements.
