An alloy is a mixture of metals or a mixture of a metal and another element. Alloys are defined by metallic bonding character. An alloy may be a solid solution of metal elements (a single phase) or a mixture of metallic phases (two or more solutions). Intermetallic compounds are alloys with a defined stoichiometry and crystal structure. Zintl phases are also sometimes considered alloys depending on bond types (see also: Van Arkel-Ketelaar triangle for information on classifying bonding in binary compounds).
Alloys are used in a wide variety of applications. In some cases, a combination of metals may reduce the overall cost of the material while preserving important properties. In other cases, the combination of metals imparts synergistic properties to the constituent metal elements such as corrosion resistance or mechanical strength. Examples of alloys are steel, solder, brass, pewter, duralumin, phosphor bronze and amalgams.
The alloy constituents are usually measured by mass. Alloys are usually classified as substitutional or interstitial alloys, depending on the atomic arrangement that forms the alloy. They can be further classified as homogeneous (consisting of a single phase), or heterogeneous (consisting of two or more phases) or intermetallic.

Plot: Jenna is strong willed; she never blinks at adversity. But she has one slight problem. She can't talk to guys. When she likes a guy, she turns into a jibbering idiot. Her friends, the naïve Angie and the foul-mouthed artist Mouse, decide to help her out. As Mouse never does anything small in scale, she concocts a plan to kidnap the object of Jenna's desire so that Jenna can have a chance to express her feelings to a captive audience. To help in this "brilliant" plan, Angie recruits Tommy and Alloy, two well-meaning morons who seem to share a brain. Together they embark on a mission to prove that sometimes true love just needs a little helping hand... or a sock full of quarters.
Genres: Comedy, Short,March has come time to awaken
Break the silence deeply sleeping
And the stillnes lasting ages
Once more to start freely moving
And the pulse start beating strongly
And the words set calmly flowing
Blow the dust out of the pipe ends
Rid the chains of rust they carry
And the pulse set free and roaming
And unleash the words from slumber
One another then shall follow
Join each other in the alloy
To bring forth the march october
In march start and onwards journey
Boldly reach out for october
With the tunes as flocks that follow
And the words as their companion
Shall the tunes then whisper softly
And roar load like rising thunder
With a leadscape on their shoulders
Or mere sunrays as their clothing
Shall the words not sing of sorrow
Leave for others words of lament
Proudly join the tunes sounding
Gallant ways the pulse beating
Take their place in the alloy
Fortify the compsound forming
And unite the substance growing
And meld matter made for lasting
To complete the march october
