Bronze is a versatile metal alloy based on copper and varying proportions of other elements such as tin (Sn), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), and phosphorus (P). Some of its characteristics are:
- High mechanical resistance;
- High ductility;
- High wear resistance;
- High corrosion resistance;
One of the factors for this raw material to be so essential to the industry is its high resistance to friction wear, which makes bronze a widely used material in bearings, gears, and related parts.
