bronze

Examples of bronze in the following topics:

• Iron, Cobalt, Copper, Nickel, and Zinc

  • However, pure copper is too soft to have structural value, but copper alloys with zinc and tin to form harder brasses and bronzes.
  • Brass and bronze were essential components of the earliest metal tools.
  • Copper is the most heavily used of the coinage metals due to its electrical properties, its abundance (compared to silver and gold), and the properties of its brass and bronze alloys.

• Alloys

  • Examples of alloys include materials such as brass, pewter, phosphor bronze, amalgam, and steel.
  • Examples of alloys include materials such as brass, pewter, phosphor bronze, amalgam, and steel.

• The Age of Plastics

  • Historically, many eras were characterized by the materials that were then important to human society (e.g. stone age, bronze age and iron age).

• Occurrence of Metals

  • Copper alloys have been known since prehistory—bronze gave the Bronze Age its name—and have many applications today, most importantly in electrical wiring.
