An alloy is a combined, homogenous combination of a metal with other metals or non-metals. Alloys may be thought of as solid solutions since the solvent in an alloy is a metal with a high concentration, and the solute is a metal with a low concentration. For instance, brass is an alloy of copper and zinc (solute) (solvent).
