what is bronze made of ?

Bronze refers to a broad range of Copper alloys, usually with tin as the main additive, but sometimes with other elements such as phosphorus, manganese, aluminium, or silicon.

Copper. It is so brilliant

Steel is manufactured by alloying iron and carbon.  Stainless steel has a high nickle content.\n\nWikipedia Excerpt: Perhaps as early as 300 BC, although certainly by AD 200, high quality steel was being produced in southern India also by what Europeans would later call the crucible technique. In this system, high-purity wrought iron, charcoal, and glass were mixed in crucibles and heated until the iron melted and absorbed the carbon. One of the earliest evidence of steel making comes to us from Samanalawewa area in Sri Lanka where thousands of sites were found. (Ref. Juleff, 1996).

It has to be iron.  Without Fe, there'd be no steel, and no civilization as we know it.  You COULD make steel-like alloys with elements like Ni, but they'd be too costly for widespread use.

Used to be lead, wood, metal and rubber.  Now they use graphite instead of lead.

Silver and Bronze medals are made of actual silver and bronze.\n\nGold medals are made of sterling silver, which are then coated with a minimum of 6 grams of pure gold.

I haven't been able to find a link, but a type of pewter casting is that used in the organ-building trade, where sheets of lead/tin alloy are formed in varying thicknesses, using a wedge-shaped wooden mould into which the molten metal alloy is poured, using (as you discovered) a ladle!\n\nI think this would be the traditional way of making pewter-sheet also, which is a tin/copper alloy, but can also include alloys of lead/tin & antimony.\n\nInterestingly, the mould is filled, and the "wedge" of the casting block adjusted to give a bigger or lesser flow of molten metal (depending upon the size of the gap through which the metal flows). In what is a very quick motion, the caster moves the mould down a long-table (possibly stone), controlled by guides, and the molten-metal is cast onto mole-skin, which is capable of resisting the heat.\n\nFollowing that, the metal soldifies and cools, and is then rolled into rolls of sheet metal and stored, prior to it being cut up and formed into organ-pipes.\n\nI have watched the process once, and it is amazing to watch the sheet cool and soldify into a shiny sheet of metal.\n\nInterestingly, a group of engineers and metalurgists once watched the primitive process and burts out laughing, while on a tour of an organ-building factory. The organ-builder asked them if they could think of a better method, but after much scratching of heads, they could not.\n\nThe organ-builder said, "No, we've been doing it like this for 400 years, and neither can we!"

Hi. Iron, carbon, silicon, copper, oxygen (as part of silicon dioxide), hydrogen (as part of plastic).

I believe it is iron.  Not an expert though.

Lacquer, it is made of resin. you can pick it up at basically any hardware or paint store

Sorry I don't know any specific sites, but maybe I can give you a little more info to help you find info?\n\nUsually people use alloys because they have better properties than any of the metals it is made out of.  For example:\nstainless steel is iron with chromium in it.  It doesn't tarnish, rust or anything like that.\nbrass is copper and zinc

Metal.  Wood and plastic can crack.

Any metal will melt on heating (unless burning up before), but for pure lead the melting point is fairly low with 600K (327°C, or 621°F). The melting point for lead alloys (with tin and/or antimon) is even lower.\n\nEven candle flames emit sufficient heat to melt down lead placed on a spoon in reasonable time.

METALS ARE MALLEABLE AND DUCTILE INDEED THEY ARE VERY STRONG SOME METALS LIKE ALUMINIUM HAS A LOW DENSITY SO IT'S USED IN BUILDING AIRCRAFTS,IOW DENSITY COOKING UTENSILS ETC.. ALLOYS EG:STEEL IS ALSO USED IN UTENSILS ....COINS ARE ALLOYS OF NICKEL AND COPPER.....METALS USUALLY HAVE A HIGH MELTING POINT.......

Silicon is essential to making of grey cast iron as opposed to white cast iron. Silicon causes the carbon to rapidly come out of solution as graphite, leaving a matrix of relatively pure, soft iron. Weak bonding between planes of graphite lead to a high activation energy for growth in that direction, resulting in thin, round flakes. This structure has several useful properties.\n\nThe metal expands slightly on solidifying as the graphite precipitates, resulting in sharp castings. The graphite content also offers good corrosion resistance.\n\nAlso A famous (and very large) example is the Iron Pillar of Delhi, erected by order of Kumara Gupta I around the year AD 400. However, unlike stainless steel, these artifacts owe their durability not to chromium, but to their high phosphorus content, which together with favorable local weather conditions promotes the formation of a solid protective passivation layer of iron oxides and phosphates, rather than the non-protective, cracked rust layer that develops on most ironwork.

No.  Due to rising costs, it has been replaced with bronze.  Things are tough all over.
