Here are some examples of alloys:

* Bronze: Copper and tin

* Brass: Copper and zinc

* Steel: Iron and carbon (with other elements often added)

* Stainless steel: Iron, chromium, nickel

* Gold jewelry: Gold and other metals like copper, silver, or nickel

* Amalgam: Mercury and other metals, often used in dentistry

Alloys are often created to combine the best properties of their constituent metals. For example, steel is stronger than iron, and brass is more resistant to corrosion than copper.
