CuSn 8 Bronze tubes
 

Bronze is an alloy comprising of the metals copper and tin, of which tin is in the lower concen-tration.   

The wrought alloys (for warm and cold working through rolling, stamping and drawing processes) contain up to 8.5 % tin, whereas casting alloys contain up to 22 % tin. The melt temperature depends on the various alloyed elements, but mainly lies just under 1000 degrees Celsius.

Bronze is appreciably harder and easier to melt than copper. Moreover bronze shows good wear properties and has very good salt water and corrosion resistance. Although the conductivity reduces as the tin concentration increases, the strength and hardness increase. Generally bronze offers good spring and frictiion properties, and has very good fatigue and is unaffected by stress corrosion.

Bronze is a material from antiquity, yet at the same time one of the modern era - truly a material evolving with the times.

The first bronze was produced around 3000 years BC. In those days it was used to produce jewellery, weapons and tools. In the Middle Ages it was bells and cannons. Today in the age of bits and bytes, bronze has taken an outstanding position amongst raw materials. This is especially to be found where electronic components and computer-controlled equipment are required. In fact bronce plays a central roll in the areas of data and informatiion transfer, measurement and instrumentation technology, the automotive industry, entertainment and domestic goods.
