traditional name for a broad range of alloys of copper, usually with zinc and tin but not limited to those metals. bronze was first used during the bronze age, to which it gave its name. it was used to make tools, weapons and armor that were either harder or more durable than their stone and copper predecessors. bronze is the most popular metal for top quality cast metal sculpture. common bronze alloys often have the unusual and very desirable property of expanding slightly just before they set, thus filling in the finest details of a mold.
An alloy of copper and tin commonly used in 19th century artillery. Often mistakenly called brass.

A yellow to yellow-brown alloy that contains mostly copper and tin, with small amounts of other metals.
An alloy consisting chiefly of copper (85-90%), with lead, tin, or zinc added (usually in equal parts). Copper can also be mixed with silicon to make silicon bronze. The Torso of a Dancer is a silicon bronze. The melting point of bronze is about 2000 degrees F.
Etymology: lat. aes brundisium: ore from Brindisi after the ancient port of Brundisium. We think the alloy might have been shipped to this port and then distributed through the Roman empire. The →alloy consists of →copper (Cu) and →tin (Sn). With 10% tin contents the alloy is liquid above 1020°C.

An alloy of copper and tin, sometimes containing small proportions of other elements such as zinc or phosphorus. It is stronger, harder, and more durable than brass, and has been used most extensively since antiquity for cast sculpture. Bronze alloys vary in color from a silvery hue to a rich, coppery red. U.S. standard bronze is composed of 90% copper, 7% tin, and 3% zinc.
A metal that is an alloy (mixture) of copper and tin.
A base metal alloy of copper and tin, but other metals such as zinc are sometimes added. Bronze was the first high-tech alloy known to man. It was used from ancient Greek times, through ancient Rome, and is still used in modern times, although many modern "bronze" or "copper" coins are nowadays made of copper plated steel to reduce costs.
traditionally an alloy of copper and tin but can be used as a term for most copper alloys that are yellow in color today
An alloy of copper and tin with traces of other metals (zinc,nickel,and lead), used for sculpture, sign plaques,and dimensional lettering. Letters or forms can be cut out of solid material (using a band saw or a waterjet). It can be cast(sand -cast,ceramic mold-cast). It can be fabricated from thin sheets to create dimensional letters (fabricated and soldered). Bronze signs may be lacquered to prevent oxidation, pre-oxidized, or left to oxidize naturally. Many finishes are available; patinaed, oil rubbed, clear-lacquered, polished,brushed,etc.
An alloy of copper and tin, this metal is commonly used in casting because of its strong ability to form precise and detailed reproductions. The surface of a cast bronze object can be treated with a patina to add color.
An alloy of copper zinc and sometimes tin, producing a deep reddish-brown color. We can approximate the color of bronze by antiquing a brass coin.
a copper-rich copper-tin alloy.
A copper alloy, primarily containing tin.
is an alloy of copper and tin that is melted and poured into a mold when casting sculpture. It has been used to produce sculptures since pre-historic times, and can be finished in a variety of colors. Bronze Powder is bronze that has been ground up and mixed with a resin material to produce cold-cast bronze. It has some of the same properties as the bronze that is included in it like color, metallic sheen, etc. casting is a single copy of an original made by pouring a liquid medium into a mold of a sculpture, allowing it to harden, then removing the mold.

The perfect metal for casting statues. It is an alloy made from copper and tin and has been used for everything from Rodin's Thinker to Art Deco to armor. It was the most commonly worked metal on Earth for thousands of years. When considering a bronze antique make sure you know which of two common casting methods the piece was cast in. If the statue was cast using the inferior sand method it is undoubtedly a reproduction. Bronze is easily identifiable by its distinct dark, well bronze color.

Originally a term for copper alloys having tin as the only or principal alloying element. In modern usage the term “Bronze” is seldom used alone, and the terms “Phosphor Bronze” or “Tin Bronze” is used for indicating copper-tin alloys. In fact, the term “Bronze,” together with a suitable modifying adjective has in recent years been extended to apply to any of a great variety of copper alloys. (See Copper Alloy.)

Noble or noble-like metal platings are required in the critical area of the metal used as a connector.
