Alloy compounds vs alloy solid solutions?

[christian0710]

Hi,

What is the difference between alloy compounds and solid solutions

I understand so far that solid solutions are homogeneous in composition, which must mean that one, two or more different atoms have same crystal packing structure when combined to form a solid solution.

An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements in solid solution in which the major component is a metal.
