Bronze is a metal alloy consisting primarily of copper, usually with tin as the main additive, but sometimes with other elements such as phosphorus, manganese, aluminium, or silicon. All of these minerals come from the ground.


What is bronze made from?

About 5000 years ago people discovered how to mix melted copper and tin. This made a new metal called bronze.After they discovered copper and tin, these early people were curious about these metals.They experimented with these metal.Then they melted the copper and tin and then they mixed these liquid metals.They kept this mixture a container with a particular shape.When the mixture dried up into solid, a new metal named bronze was produced.

How copper can be conbinate with others elements?

Copper can be combined with other elements to form alloys. Copper is melted down and additional elements are added in a desired ratio. For example zinc can be added to copper to form brass alloy. If tin is added to copper you make bronze. The trick is to heat the copper to a point where another element can be absorbed into the copper. Depending on the material you are trying to mix with the copper it will be brought in at the atomic level (like salt in water) or will form something like a suspension (muddy water)If you want me to get more descriptive on how the thermal chemistry works and what happens in the crystalline structure feel free to say so. Tried to keep it simple. Hope this helps


Alloyed with copper to make brass?

Zinc is alloyed with copper to make brass. Depending on the desired characteristics, varying amounts of zinc can be added to create different types of brass with specific properties. Brass is often used in applications that require a combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.

What metals make up bronze?

Bronze is primarily composed of copper and tin. The proportion of copper to tin can vary, but typically ranges from 85-90% copper and 10-15% tin. Other metals, such as aluminum, lead, and zinc, can also be added to alter the properties of bronze.


How are copper and bronze similar?

No. Copper is a pure metallic element. Bronze is an alloy (an alloy is a mixture of two or more elements) of Copper usually with Tin as the main additive, but sometimes with other elements such as phosphorus, manganese, aluminum, or silicon. Bronze is harder and less malleable than pure metallic copper.
