What alloy does tin make when mixed with copper?

Answer 1

#"Bronze"#, so useful an alloy that they named an historical age after it.

Both copper and tin as pure metals are relatively soft and lack edge retention; however, when combined to form an alloy with about 10–12% tin, an excellent edge retention material is produced; these tools are also highly resistant to corrosion, to the point where bronze statues have been recovered in good condition from the ocean after more than 2,000 years.
