Bronze and brass are copper alloys, not salts.
The main alloys of copper are Brass (with zinc) and Bronze (with tin).
Examples: stainless steel, zircalloy-4.
Alloys are homogeneous mixture of at least two metals: bronze (Cu, Sn) and brass (Cu, Zn) are example of two copper alloys.
Brass is a mixture
Brass is a mixture of the metals Zinc and Copper.
Any true solution provides an example of a homogeneous mixture, as do most metal alloys such as brass and bronze.
Mixtures of metals are called alloys. For example, brass is an alloy, a mixture of bronze and copper.
The main alloys of copper are Brass (with zinc) and Bronze (with tin).
brass steel and bronze
Metal alloys refer to a mixture of two different elements whereby one of them is a metal. Examples of alloyed metals are Brass, Steel and Solder.
brass, steel, bronze
Brass is a homogeneous mixture called an alloy.
Brass: copper and zinc Bronze: copper and tin
Copper is an element itself Symbol Cu Not a mixture like brass or bronze etc.
Brass= 60%copper + 40%zinc. Bronze = 80%copper+20%Tin. The words "brass" and "bronze" are often used interchangeably, but they are very different metals. Both are alloys and both contain a lot of copper - but that is where the similarities end. Comparatively, brass is a very soft metal. For example, it is used for plumbing fixtures because it is easy to work with and easily tooled. Brass is not as hard as bronze. Brass is also prone to corrosion, so most plumbing fixtures are coated with another metal such as chrome to make it more durable. You will find that a brass bell does not sound as pure as a bronze bell. Brass bells have kind of a "clangy" or "brassy" sound to them. Bronze on the other hand is very hard and can last forever. In fact, there are several grades of bronze. A type called admiralty bronze was used for cannons and is used for propellers on boats.
An alloy is mixture of two or more metals. Alloys are normally harder than the metals they contain. Examples of alloys include brass, steel and bronze.
Manganese, aluminum, silicon, phosphorous, steel and brass make up a very small portion of alloys. For a more complete list, refer to the "related links".
