Is there a limit on how many different metals can be mixed into an alloy, and what would the results of alloying many different metals together be?

If you want to dig into alloys, aluminum can be a real education.
The 7000 series is as strong as mild steel, and is useful for structural work.
6000 series is the most common, and cuts, drills, welds easily.
I forget the number, but one alloy in particular is good to use as conductive wire, and most high voltage wire on power poles is bare stranded aluminum.
Silver is the most conductive / least resistive wire, but copper is almost as good and is MUCH cheaper
