Alloy steel is steel combined with a variety of other metals or minerals such as chromium, cobalt, copper, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, tungsten or vanadium to obtain desirable physical and chemical properties such as higher strength and durability. Alloy steel is also more resistant to corrosion.
