Bronze is a copper alloy that consists mainly of copper and other ingredients, typically tin. Other elements such as arsenic, phosphorus, aluminum, manganese, and silicon can be added to produce other characteristics, most of which will have good corrosion resistance. Bronze can be identified by its dull gold color and faint rings on its outside.
