Bronze is a metal alloy that consists mainly of copper. Other ingredients may also be added, including tin, phosphorous, manganese, aluminum, and even silicon. Different ingredients will produce materials with different properties, and combined, they make an alloy that is harder than copper on its own.
Bronze is typically characterized by its distinct dull-gold color. It is used to make medals, musical instruments, and sculptures, and its resistance to corrosion makes it a great material for nautical applications
