Bronze is an alloy composed of copper (the base alloy) and tin (which makes up 3 to 20%). It can also include other metals, achieving different properties in the material. The differences between copper and bronze, although seemingly very similar, are significant and it is necessary to be able to distinguish between the two.

Current applications include its use in mechanical parts resistant to friction and corrosion, in good quality musical instruments such as bells, gongs, cymbals, saxophones, and in the manufacture of harp strings, guitars and pianos.

Bronze recycling

It is an alloy composed of copper and tin, two metals that are extracted from the earth’s crust through mining. It is therefore very important to recycle this metal, as it is a non-renewable resource. In addition, this extraction involves a high consumption of water and energy, which contributes to the pollution of rivers. Recycling helps to reduce the extraction of its components as much as possible in order to ensure that reserves are available for the future. On the other hand, copper is a harmful metal as it contains toxins.

Like all other metals, it is melted down and then the pure bronze is separated so that it can be reused. By melting copper and tin ingot, a bronze ingot is produced, which can also be melted and cast into moulds. In the furnace, the piece is melted and then analysed. If the required properties are not what you need, you can add the necessary amount of metal to obtain what you want.
