Bronze became popular as a material in the Bronze Age, roughly from 3000 to 800 BC. At that time, bronze replaced flint as the main material for weapons and tools. Even today, bronze casting is still a method of manufacturing products.
Because bronze contains tin, it is harder and less ductile than copper. Also, bronze has a smaller bending strength, so it is not widely used in building and construction. One advantage is that bronze casting is relatively easy, though. The tin limits the shrinkage of the casting upon cooling and lowers the melting point. In addition, it increases the fluidity of the molten copper, so details of the final product end up more refined. Heycop is a company with considerable expertise in the metalworking and foundry sectors and will guide you in the right choice of bronze castings.
