An alloy is a solid solution of two or more metals. Sometimes a nonmetal can be alloyed with a metal. Alloys have different properties than the metals they were formed from. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. It is stronger than pure iron. Bronze was one of the first alloys known. It is an alloy of copper and tin. Brass, another common alloy, is made of copper and zinc.
