Alloys can be categorized by the number of their components. The alloy with two components is termed as binary alloy; one with three is termed as ternary alloy and so on. Alloys can be further categorized as either substitution or interstitial alloys, depending on their process of formation. In substitution alloys, the atoms of components are around of similar size and the different atoms are simply replaced for one another in the crystal structure. An illustration of a binary substitution alloy is brass, which is made up of copper and zinc. Interstitial alloys take place whenever the atoms of one component are substantially smaller than the other and the smaller atoms fit to the spaces (or interstices) among the bigger atoms.
