Bronze can refer to any of several alloys with major components of copper and tin. Other metals commonly found in bronzes include lead and zinc (if zinc is more present than tin the alloy is often refereed to as brass). Still others are found less commonly. These include iron, nickel, antimony. For especially tough service such as boat propellers phosphorus is added. When anti-corrosive properties are desired aluminium often replaces tin in the bronze formulation. Bismuth is added to make bronze shinier. Bells are often made of bronze at a ratio which makes them resonate well but some bell bronzes contain silver for a more mellow tone. Tibetan singing bowls are often a seven metal bronze alloy which include gold and silver.
