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.he term alloy is used to describe a mixture of atoms in which the primary constituent is a metal. The primary metal is called the base, the matrix, or the solvent. The secondary constituents are often called solutes.
Marl or marlstone is a calcium carbonate or lime-rich mud or mudstone which contains variable amounts of clays and silt.
Marbling. Marbling is a method of decorating paper or fabric by floating pigments or colours on a sizing solution. Carrageen is used to develop the appropriate viscosity of the sizing solution to maintain the colours and pattern on the solution surface.The colours can then be combed or manipulated into various patterns.ARBLING: Comb the inks, or use other methods to create marbled patterns. Then gently lower fabric onto the ink pattern. The inks should stay on the surface of the material (similar to screen printing). Should the ink penetrate through, it indicates that the ink is too thick.
