Difference Between Alloys and Composites

• Alloys are mixtures of two or more metals, while composites are mixtures of two
or more materials.
• Alloys are typically stronger than the individual metals that make them up, while
composites generally are weaker than the individual materials that make them
up.
• Alloys can be created through various methods, including casting and powder
metallurgy, while composites can be made through multiple methods, including
lamination and molding.
• Alloys are typically less expensive to produce than composites, while composites
generally are more expensive than alloys.
• Alloys are typically heavier than composites, while composites generally are
lighter than alloys.
• Alloys are often used in applications where strength is important, while
composites are often used in applications where weight is important.
• Alloys can be recycled, while composites cannot be recycled.
• Alloys can corrode, while composites cannot rust.

Difference between Filler and Fiber

Additives, fillers, and reinforcements are used to change and improve the physical and
mechanical properties of plastics. In general, reinforcing fibers increase the mechanical
properties of polymer composites while particular fillers of various types enhance a
particular property
