  2. Brass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass

    Brass is more malleable than bronze or zinc. The relatively low melting point of brass (900 to 940 °C; 1,650 to 1,720 °F, depending on composition) and its flow characteristics make it a relatively easy material to cast. By varying the proportions of copper and zinc, the properties of the brass can be changed, allowing hard and soft brasses.

  4. Bronze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze

    Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12–12.5% tin and often with the addition of other metals (including aluminium, manganese, nickel, or zinc) and sometimes non-metals (such as phosphorus) or metalloids (such as arsenic or silicon).

    Nordic Gold, composed of 89% copper, 5% aluminium, 5% zinc, and 1% tin, is a more recently developed aluminium-bronze alloy for coinage. It was first used for the Swedish 10-kronor coin in 1991, and became widespread after the introduction of Nordic gold 10, 20 and 50-cent Euro coins in 2002.

    Cannon made of bell metal at Malik-e-Maidan, Bijapur, India. Bell metal or bell bronze is an alloy used for making bells and related instruments, such as cymbals.It is a form of bronze with a higher tin content than most other bronzes, usually in approximately a 4:1 ratio of copper to tin (typically, 78% copper, 22% tin by mass).

  7. Forging temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forging_temperature

    Forging temperature is the temperature at which a metal becomes substantially more soft, but is lower than the melting temperature, such that it can be reshaped by forging. [1] Bringing a metal to its forging temperature allows the metal's shape to be changed by applying a relatively small force, without creating cracks.

  8. Alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloy

    Alloying a metal is done by combining it with one or more other elements. The most common and oldest alloying process is performed by heating the base metal beyond its melting point and then dissolving the solutes into the molten liquid, which may be possible even if the melting point of the solute is far greater than that of the base. For ...

    Gunmetal parts. Gun metal, also known as red brass in the United States, is a type of bronze – an alloy of copper, tin, and zinc.Proportions vary but 88% copper, 8–10% tin, and 2–4% zinc is an approximation.
