An alloy is a combination of metals or of metals and other elements.

Examples

Vanadium steel
Used in early Ford’s.
Crown gold
A 22 karat (kt) (916 2⁄3 fine) gold alloy used for English & UK gold coins from 1526 (Henry VIII) to 1914 (as currency), and since then for trade and bullion coins. (‌22⁄24 gold, ‌2⁄24 copper)
𝜌 = 17.61 g/㎝³
“Standard gold” (US)
A 900 fine gold alloy used for US coins. (90% gold, ≤5% silver, 5-10% copper)
