METAL ALLOYING ELEMENTS
Alloying elements are chemical elements intentionally added to a base metal (such as iron, aluminum, copper, or titanium) during the production of metal alloys to modify and enhance specific properties. These additions alter the alloy's microstructure, phase stability, and behavior under various conditions, improving characteristics like strength, hardness, ductility, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, or high-temperature performance.
