Difference between copper and bronze

Answer 1

Iron is more brittle than bronze and is harder, but iron rusts and bronze doesn't.

Iron is a pure substance and is oxidised relatively easily. Iron has to be coated with paint, oil, plastic, chrome, zinc to stop it from reacting with the oxygen in the air.

Bronze, however, is a mixture of copper and tin. Bronze tools were used by many civilizations but iron tended to be stronger. Especially the alloy of iron that is mixed with carbon to form steel. Civilizations that had iron weapons tended to be able to conquer those that did not. A good example is the way Europeans conquered South America or indigenous populations in many countries.

AnswerBronze is a mixture of Copper and Tin and harder than pure Iron which is a single metal. The addition of other metals such as 1 to 2% phosphorus makes bronze even harder. This is why Phosphor-Bronze is used for bearings. Some modern Bronzes have used other metals in the alloy such as aluminum, manganese, and zinc

The main advantage of iron, and why humans used it more, is simply that it is cheaper and more abundant.

Answer 2

Bronze is an alloy that primarily consists of copper. Copper is soft and malleable. Bronze is harder than copper is. Copper is used in wiring and Plumbing materials because it is an electrical and thermal conductor. Bronze is used in ship and boat gears and gears because it holds up well in water.

Answer 3

Copper is a pure elemental metal that is reddish-brown in color, while bronze is an alloy made by mixing copper with other metals like tin or zinc to create a stronger material with a golden-brown hue. Bronze is harder and more durable than copper, making it suitable for applications requiring greater strength.

Answer 4

Copper can be a pure element, but bronze is an alloy of copper and tin.

Answer 5

After Iron is worked it becomes stronger and harder than bronze.

Answer 6

Iron occurs naturally, while bronze is a copper alloy.
