An alloy is a combination, either in solution or compound, of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, and where the resulting material has metallic properties. The resulting metallic substance generally has properties significantly different from those of its components.
The hull of a class 2 shuttle was made from a tritanium alloy. (VOY: "Threshold")
The alien probe "Pup" was made of a form of corundium alloy. (DS9: "The Forsaken")
After Doctor Julian Bashir performed an autopsy on the Klingon first officer Hon-Tihl in 2369, he stated the cause of his death were the minor tritanium alloy fragments in his chest and upper arms and severe weapon burns. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae")
In 2370, some new tennis rackets were made of nillimite alloys. (DS9: "The Wire")
In 2373, the crew of the USS Voyager discovered that the supposed asteroid bombardment of a Nezu colony was in fact a deliberate attack when they found an alloy within an asteroid fragment. It was part of a guidance system used by the Etanian Order. (VOY: "Rise")
