The properties of alloys differ from those The properties of alloys differ from those of their component metals. For example of their component metals. For example stainless steelstainless steel, an alloy of iron, carbon, , an alloy of iron, carbon, chromium and nickel is stronger than iron chromium and nickel is stronger than iron and more resistant to corrosion. and more resistant to corrosion.
