multimetallic
Containing multiple metals
Multimetallic describes something containing or involving more than one metal.
The term appears most often in chemistry and materials science: a multimetallic catalyst, a multimetallic alloy.
The multimetallic compound showed improved conductivity over single-metal versions.
