What is aluminum and copper's reaction?

Nothing, they simply form a mixture in molten state. A mixture of 10% Aluminium in copper is Aluminium bronze.


What alloy does aluminum iron and copper make?

There are some "aluminium bronze" alloys which contain aluminium copper with a small amount of iron and other metals- these are mainly copper with 4-8% aluminium and ess than 1% of other metals.


Which is harder Aluminium or Titanium?

Bronze. Bronze is an alloy of copper an tin and it replaced copper as the primary metal for tools because the alloy is harder than either of its constituents. Aluminum is softer than copper.


What elements are there in brass and bronze?

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.


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 the ratio of bronze?

There is no specific ratio for bronze because there are many different bronzes. For example, Aluminium bronze contains 92% copper, 8% aluminium. Phosphor bronze contains 89.75% copper, 10% in and 0.25% phosphorus. Manganese bronze contains 58.5% copper, 39.2% zinc, 1% Iron, 1% tin, 0.3% manganese.
