legeringvorming
Legeringvorming is the process by which two or more elements are combined to create an alloy. Typically, at least one of the elements is a metal. Alloys are formed when metals are melted together and then cooled, or through solid-state diffusion processes at elevated temperatures. The resulting material often exhibits properties that are superior to those of its constituent elements. For instance, steel, an alloy of iron and carbon, is significantly stronger and harder than pure iron. Similarly, brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is more malleable and corrosion-resistant than copper alone.
The properties of an alloy are dependent on the types of elements involved, their proportions, and the
