Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, nearly 90 %, and the remaining comprising of aluminium, tin, zinc, and sometimes even non-metallic compounds such as arsenic, as may be required. These combinations produce a range of alloys to have properties such as stiffness, ductility, or machinability.

 

Bronze too has less frictional properties and is hence used to make bushes, plumbing fixtures, locks, and bearings.
