By extension, certain copper-base alloys containing considerably less tin than other alloying elements, such as manganese bronze(copper-zinc plus manganese, tin, and iron) and leaded tin bronze(copper-lead plus tin and sometimes zinc). Also, certain other essentially binary copper-base alloys containing no tin, such as aluminum bronze(copper-aluminum), silicon bronze(copper-silicon), and beryllium bronze(copper-beryllium). Also, trade designations for certain specific copper-base alloys that are actually brasses, such as architectural bronzes(57 Cu, 40 Zn, 3 Pb) and commercial bronze(90 Cu, 10 Zn). 3, record 1, English, - bronze
