Would unpainted lead and zinc junction suffer from corrosion?
Zinc may corrode, but may be passivated (corrosion stopped) by the corrosion product - ZnO according to environment
What properties of bronze makes it suitable for making into coins?
It is tough, strong, wears very well and good corrosion resistance.
When is corrosion useful?
Corrosion will be useful when you work on corrosion industry.
Is ease of corrosion a physical change or a chemical change?
The ease of corrosion of resistance to corrosion is a chemical property and not a physical one. Corrosion is a chemical change which changes the identity of the substance.
What is bronze alloy used for?
Traditional bronze is a copper alloy with up to 10% tin. The tin in bronze makes it more resistant to wear than unalloyed copper. Bronzes today are usually stronger and more resistant to corrosion than brass. Contemporary bronzes are typically copper alloys that may contain silicon, manganese, aluminium, lead, iron and other elements, with or without tin. The variations in bronze composition significantly affect its characteristics. Wearability, machinability, corrosion-resistance and ductility for deep drawing are often considered. Bronze parts are typically used for bearings, clips, electrical connectors and springs. Combro, or commercial bronze, is 90-10, or 90% copper/10% tin. It is frequently the least expensive, most easily obtained grade of bronze. Aluminium bronze is a copper-aluminium alloy that may contain iron, nickel, and/or silicon for greater strength. It is used for tools and, because it will not spark when struck, for parts to be used around flammable materials. Aluminium bronze is frequently used for aircraft and automobile engine parts. Manganese bronze is actually a brass containing manganese. It is often used for ship propellers because it is strong and resists saltwater corrosion.

What is 100 percent bronze?
Bronze is a mixture of copper and tin. And is pretty resistant to corrosion. Bronze is already a mixture, so 100% is a bit meaningless.
How can you clean the green corrosion of bronze?
It's not corrosion, it's oxidisation. -Clean it off with a good metal polish such as Dura-Glit.
Would unpainted lead and zinc junction suffer from corrosion?
Zinc may corrode, but may be passivated (corrosion stopped) by the corrosion product - ZnO according to environment
What are properties of bronze?
Resists corrosion and doesn't rust, 70% copper, 30% tin.
What has the author Paul Dyer Merica written?

What properties of bronze makes it suitable for making into coins?
It is tough, strong, wears very well and good corrosion resistance.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of mild steel?
Aluminium is very light. It can suffer very intense corrosion, but that leads to one of its greatest strengths: the corrosion forms a very well-formed protective oxidant layer (Al2O3) which prevents the further corrosion. In that way, the low-resistance of aluminum to its initial corrosion, results to one of the better corrosion-protected metals in industry.
What kind of metal is affected by corrosion?
Most metals suffer corrosion. There are few (gold, platinum) that do not. Metals that create a hardy oxidation layer, one that is insoluble in water, are considered "stainless" or can be "passivated".
What are the properties of bronze?
Resists corrosion and doesn't rust, 70% copper, 30% tin.
Is zinc or bronze used in wiring?
They are not usually used as wires themselves, but are used in wiring systems. Zinc is used as a plating for anti-corrosion in conduit fittings and such. Bronze is used for ground clamps among other things.
What were the ancient Greek swords made out of?
During the bronze age, they were made of bronze. During the irong age, swords tended to be made of iron and armor often continued to be made of bronze, if the people using armor could afford bronze. Bronze is stronger than iron and less prone to corrosion, so it makes better armor, but iron is cheaper, and since can be made much harder than bronze it is preferable for blades.
What is the difference between brass and bronze?
Brass is a metal alloy of mostly copper & zinc.Bronze is an alloy of mostly copper & tin.Bronze is often redder, stronger, more resistant to corrosion, harder and the making of bronze is much older than brass.
