The most common alloy used in making accurate laboratory balances is stainless steel. Stainless steel offers high precision and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for maintaining accuracy in laboratory measurements.
an alloy
Almost any metal might be included in a steel alloy. The simplest alloy that is called steel is an alloy of just iron and carbon. But it is the ratio that is important (e.g. cast iron is also an alloy of just iron and carbon, but it has too much carbon making it too brittle to be steel). There are also a few nonmetals (e.g. boron, silicon) that might be included in a steel alloy.
An alloy of gold and nickel is typically called white gold. It is a popular alternative to yellow gold in jewelry making due to its silvery color.
Spanenrs are typically made from chromium-vanadium alloy tool steels and are often drop-forged.They are frequently chrome-plated to resist corrosion and for ease of cleaning.
When you mix silver and tin, you get an alloy called silver solder. This alloy has a lower melting point than silver or tin alone, making it useful for joining metals together. Silver solder is commonly used in jewelry making and in plumbing applications.
