Difference between Alloy and Heat treating

Alloy vs. Heat treating

An alloy is a combination of metals or of a metal and another element. Heat treating (or heat treatment) is a group of industrial and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material.
