Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12–12.5% tin and often with the addition of other metals (including aluminium, manganese, nickel, or zinc) and sometimes non-metals (such as phosphorus) or metalloids (such as arsenic or silicon).

2025年1月18日 · bronze, alloy traditionally composed of copper and tin. Modern bronze is typically 88 percent copper and about 12 percent tin. Bronze is of exceptional historical interest and still finds wide applications.

2021年6月17日 · Bronze consists of around 88% copper with about 12% tin and other metals (e.g., aluminum, zinc, nickel, manganese, lead) and sometimes other metalloids or nonmetals (arsenic, silicon, phosphorus). Under modern definitions, bronze is a copper and tin alloy, while brass is a copper and zinc alloy.

2019年6月21日 · Bronze is one of the earliest metals known to man. It is defined as an alloy made of copper and another metal, usually tin. Compositions vary, but most modern bronze is 88% copper and 12% tin. Bronze may also contain manganese, aluminum, nickel, phosphorus, silicon, arsenic, or zinc.

2025年1月18日 · Bronze is one of the oldest and most important alloys created by humans. It is primarily composed of copper and tin, with copper typically constituting 85% to 95% of the alloy, and tin making up the remaining 5% to 15%. This combination results in a material that is harder and more durable than either of its constituent metals alone.

2023年7月10日 · What is a bronze alloy? Bronze, an alloy (a mixture of two or more metals), is primarily composed of copper and tin. Most modern bronze contains 89% copper and 11% tin, but this ratio might vary depending on the desired characteristics of the metal.

Bronze is a metal alloy comprised mostly of copper, with around 12 to 12.5 percent tin and other metals like aluminum, manganese, zinc, or nickel. Arsenic, phosphorus, and silicon are examples of non-metals or metalloids found in them. The various metal and non-metal additions result in various bronze alloys of varying quality.
