    you have to get two materials to dissolve in each other

    you can mix mercury with silver and shake it like crazy to get an amalgam for dental fillings

    you can mix molten copper with molten zinc to get brass

    making steel in a blast furnace using coke (impure carbon from coal) you will naturally get carbon dissolved into the iron making steel

    If someone gives you a good response,

    please consider giving a best answer.
