BRONZE SCULPTURES
Bronze is the traditional name for a broad
range of alloys of copper. It is usually copper with zinc and
tin but it is not limited to those metals. First used during the
Bronze Age, to which it gave its name, bronze made tools, weapons
and armor that were either harder or more durable than their stone
and copper predecessors.
Bronzes resist corrosion (especially sea
water corrosion) and metal fatigue better than steel. Bronzes
also conduct heat and electricity better than most steels. The
cost of copper-base alloys is generally higher than that of steels
but lower than that of nickel-base alloys. Bronze was also stronger
than iron, another common metal of the Bronze Age, and quality
steels were not available until thousands of years later. Nevertheless
the Bronze Age gave way to the Iron Age as the shipping of tin
around the Mediterranean ended during the major population migrations
around 1200 - 1100 BC, which dramatically limited supplies and
raised prices.
Starting in the twentieth century silicon
was introduced as the primary alloying element with copper. Silicon
bronze is used in a wide variety of industrial applications, and
largely represents the bronze used in the production of contemporary
statuary.
Bronze is the most popular metal for top
quality bells and cymbals, and also for cast metal sculpture cast
in the lost wax method. Common bronze alloys often have the unusual
and very desirable property of expanding slightly just before
they set, thus filling in the finest details of a mold.
