Bronze is a reddish alloy used in church bells, casted sculptures, canons and in bearings. It has a reasonable hardness, good weather resistance and is easy to cast.
The major alloying element in bronze is always copper. Normally the other major alloying element is tin but it can also be other metals like nickel. |
