Bronze is an alloy that consists primarily of copper with the addition of other ingredients. In most cases the ingredient added is typically tin, but arsenic, phosphorus, aluminum, manganese, and silicon can also be used to produce different properties in the material. All of these ingredients produce an alloy much harder than copper alone.

Bronze is characterized by its dull-gold color, and has faint rings on its surface (which helps one to differentiate it from brass). It is used in the construction of sculptures, musical instruments and medals, and in industrial applications such as bushings and bearings, where its low metal on metal friction is an advantage. Bronze also has nautical applications because of its resistance to corrosion. Other applications include bearings and bushings, pump impellers, valve components, wire brushes, chemical hardware, gears, and pipe fittings.

Bronze can be purchased online and at any Metal Supermarkets location. It can be cut to your exact specifications.

Hot Rolled Steel is available in many shapes, grades and sizes. Choose from the selection below.

Hot rolling involves the production of sheet metal from billets by passing the steel through rollers while above its recrystallization temperature to desired physical dimensions. Multiple passes through the rollers may be necessary to produce the final dimensions.Hot Rolled tubing is available in: Electric Resistance Welding (ERW), Cold Drawn Seamless (CDS), Drawn-Over-Mandrel (DOM), Hydraulic and Hot Finished.

Brass is an alloy of both copper and zinc. It has low friction properties and acoustic properties, which make it one of the most popular metals to use when making musical instruments. It is commonly used as a decorative metal because of its resemblance to gold. It is also germicidal which means it can kill microorganisms on contact.

Other applications include architectural uses, condenserheat exchangers, plumbing, radiator cores, musical instruments, locks, fasteners, hinges, ammunition components, and electrical connectors.
