Alloys are "mixtures" of metals or non-metals in metals. They are developed to create new characteristics of the metals. Carbon (and other things) added to iron makes steel. Precise mixtures makes different sorts of steel alloy. Steel is stronger than iron and can have many characteristics which give superior properties for specific purposes. There is a virtual infinite number of alloys which could be made. Not all will have useful characteristics.

Lower the cost of other metals
To improve/adjust properties of other metals.
As an example, aluminum is not used by itself in aircraft fuselages but is alloyed with copper.
