To know what Bronze is, we have to understand that it is the combination of Copper and Tin, that is, the alloy or smelting of these two elements that creates it, which are minerals found on earth, Copper is made of reddish material and shiny metallic and Tin, a silver-white metal with a crystalline structure, mixing the two percentages of both and bringing it to high temperatures gives Bronze.
The mixture of this mineral varies as required by the use and the client, since when they are melted, such as lead, zinc, aluminum, nickel, among others, they can be used in various ways in their different combinations such as Red Bronze., who pull pipes for plumbing. Tin Bronze, where they take out the piston rings and different gears. Lead Bronze, it is used in handling construction machinery such as mechanical shovels. Yellow Bronze, they remove pieces of ornaments for their color as in batteries and radiators. Aluminum bronze, in small equipment such as nuts and gears such as those used on boats. Manganese Bronze, in hydraulic accessory as heavy load. It should be noted that ancient and modern artists and sculptors use it to give life to impressive creations such as the Victorious Athlete or Fano Athlete, a Greek bronze sculpture found at the bottom of the sea.
