Alloyed :: Alloyed (imp. & p. p.) of Allo.

Electrum :: Electrum (n.) An alloy of gold and silver, of an amber color, used by the ancients..

Entirely :: Entirely (adv.) Without alloy or mixture; truly; sincerely.

Standard :: Standard (n.) The proportion of weights of fine metal and alloy established by authority.

Minargent :: Minargent (n.) An alloy consisting of copper, nickel, tungsten, and aluminium; -- used by jewelers..

Occamy :: Occamy (n.) An alloy imitating gold or silver.

Alloy :: Alloy (v. t.) Any combination or compound of metals fused together; a mixture of metals; for example, brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc. But when mercury is one of the metals, the compound is called an amalgam..

Calin :: Calin (n.) An alloy of lead and tin, of which the Chinese make tea canisters..

Zinc :: Zinc (n.) An abundant element of the magnesium-cadmium group, extracted principally from the minerals zinc blende, smithsonite, calamine, and franklinite, as an easily fusible bluish white metal, which is malleable, especially when heated. It is not easily oxidized in moist air, and hence is used for sheeting, coating galvanized iron, etc. It is used in making brass, britannia, and other alloys, and is also largely consumed in electric batteries. Symbol Zn. Atomic weight 64.9..

Platinum :: Platinum (n.) A metallic element, intermediate in value between silver and gold, occurring native or alloyed with other metals, also as the platinum arsenide (sperrylite). It is heavy tin-white metal which is ductile and malleable, but very infusible, and characterized by its resistance to strong chemical reagents. It is used for crucibles, for stills for sulphuric acid, rarely for coin, and in the form of foil and wire for many purposes. Specific gravity 21.5. Atomic weight 194.3. Symbol Pt. Fo

Bell Metal :: Bell metal () A hard alloy or bronze, consisting usually of about three parts of copper to one of tin; -- used for making bells..

Quartation :: Quartation (n.) The act, process, or result (in the process of parting) of alloying a button of nearly pure gold with enough silver to reduce the fineness so as to allow acids to attack and remove all metals except the gold; -- called also inquartation. Compare Parting..

Electron :: Electron (n.) Amber; also, the alloy of gold and silver, called electrum..

Tungsten :: Tungsten (n.) A rare element of the chromium group found in certain minerals, as wolfram and scheelite, and isolated as a heavy steel-gray metal which is very hard and infusible. It has both acid and basic properties. When alloyed in small quantities with steel, it greatly increases its hardness. Symbol W (Wolframium). Atomic weight, 183.6. Specific gravity, 18..

Palladium :: Palladium (n.) A rare metallic element of the light platinum group, found native, and also alloyed with platinum and gold. It is a silver-white metal resembling platinum, and like it permanent and untarnished in the air, but is more easily fusible. It is unique in its power of occluding hydrogen, which it does to the extent of nearly a thousand volumes, forming the alloy Pd2H. It is used for graduated circles and verniers, for plating certain silver goods, and somewhat in dentistry. It was so na

Metallic :: Metallic (a.) Of or pertaining to a metal; of the nature of metal; resembling metal; as, a metallic appearance; a metallic alloy..

Refine :: Refine (v. t.) To reduce to a fine, unmixed, or pure state; to free from impurities; to free from dross or alloy; to separate from extraneous matter; to purify; to defecate; as, to refine gold or silver; to refine iron; to refine wine or sugar..

Parting :: Parting (n.) The separation and determination of alloys; esp., the separation, as by acids, of gold from silver in the assay button..

Neogen :: Neogen (n.) An alloy resembling silver, and consisting chiefly of copper, zinc, and nickel, with small proportions of tin, aluminium, and bismuth..

Babbitt Metal :: Babbitt metal () A soft white alloy of variable composition (as a nine parts of tin to one of copper, or of fifty parts of tin to five of antimony and one of copper) used in bearings to diminish friction..
