Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
When a metal is mixed with another metal or non-metal to prepare a homogeneous mixture, it is called alloy. Duralumin, an aluminum alloy that is light, tough, and corrosion resistant, is used to make aircraft bodies. Duralumin is the brand name for one of the first age-hardenable aluminum alloys. The term is derived from the words Dürener and aluminum. Its use as a trade name is no longer valid.
