To explain: The reason for using alloys instead of metals by manufacturers.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Alloys are created from a mixture of two or more metals.
Alloys are created to enhance properties of metals. With alloys, the desired property can be instilled in a metal according to the required need. For example, gold is mixed with copper to produce a gold alloy which bends depending upon the percentage of gold and copper in it.
Conclusion:
Alloys can have desired properties while metals have fixed properties.
