Typically, bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, with copper being the primary component. Other metals such as aluminum, silicon, and manganese can also be added to bronze alloys to alter its properties for specific applications.
Alloys that contain only copper and zinc are usually called "brass"; there are also some alloys that contain one or more other metals in addition to copper and zinc, and these usually have another name.
When copper and zinc are heated together, they can bond and form an alloy called brass. Brass is a strong and durable material that is commonly used in applications where both metals' properties are desired.
Brass has a moderate electrical conductivity, approximately 28% of the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS). This means that brass is not as conductive as pure copper but can still be used in electrical applications where high conductivity is not required.
The element that can be strengthened by alloying it with zinc or tin is copper. Copper-zinc alloys, known as brass, and copper-tin alloys, known as bronze, are commonly used to improve the strength and corrosion resistance of copper.
COPPER- alloyed with zinc it makes brass and alloyed with tin it makes bronze.
Red Brass is a Brass and Nugold is a Bronze! Brass is Copper alloyed with Zincwhereas Bronze is Copper alloyed with TIN. Red Brass is typically 85% Copper and 15% Zinc.Nugold is 90% Copper and 10% Tin. ~ the Silver Strumpet
ZINC
Zinc is the metallic element that, when alloyed with copper, forms brass. Brass typically consists of anywhere between 5-40% zinc, depending on the desired characteristics of the alloy.
Brass is mainly an alloy of copper and zinc. Some alloys do have small amounts of arsenic added also.
Zinc and copper make brass, and tin and copper make bronze.
Bronze was probably alloyed before brass, yes. Bronze is copper and tin. Brass is copper and zinc. Bronze is the alloy most commonly found in ancient tools. But native copper itself was discovered before the alloys were.
Zinc and Copper Copper and zinc make up the mixture (alloy) brass.
Typically, bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, with copper being the primary component. Other metals such as aluminum, silicon, and manganese can also be added to bronze alloys to alter its properties for specific applications.

Silver is alloyed with copper to be more hard.
US cents are made of copper-plated zinc. Dimes, quarters, and halves have copper cores clad in cupronickel (25% nickel alloyed with 75% copper) Dollars have copper cores clad in manganese brass. Please see the Related Link for more information.
