Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc (both metals). Bronze is typically an alloy of copper and tin (both metals). An amalgam is an alloy of mercury with another metal (both mercury and the other element are metals). Steel is primarily an alloy of iron and carbon, where carbon is a non-metal.

The amount of carbon affects the steel&#8217;s properties; for instance, higher carbon content generally leads to harder and stronger steel but also makes it more brittle.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which one of the following alloys contains a non-metal as one of its constituent ?
