Excerpt from Bronzes Bronze is an alloy Of copper and tin in slightly varying propor tions, with occasional, but seemingly unimportant, additions of silver, zinc, lead, and other simple metals. These last may be regarded as foreign to the true alloy rather than as necessary elements in its composition, although their presence may more or less in¿uence its ductility and malleability. The normal composi tion of true bronze may be approximately fixed at nine portions of copper and one of tin but the quantity of tin may be said to vary from eight to ten per cent. Gun metal is of a similar composition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
