 * Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper with the addition of other metals (such as aluminium, manganese, nickel or zinc) and sometimes non-metals or metalloids such as arsenic, phosphorus or silicon. These additions produce a range of alloys that may be harder than copper alone, or have other useful properties, such as stiffness, ductility or machinability. The discovery of bronze enabled people to create metal objects which were harder and more durable than previously possible.
