What are copper alloys?
An alloy is created when a metal is mixed with one or more elements. This mixture allows the combined elements to take on properties that they would not have individually, in their pure states. The ratios of copper and added elements vary depending on what properties are required of the resulting alloy. Brass and bronze are common alloys of copper.
