Malfunctioning keyboard, obviously... should be "according"...

What is bronze exactly? I know we should all know this. I believe it is a compound of copper and one other metal.

Bonze is a mixture of Copper and Tin... the varying ratios depends on the end result desired for hardness...

Good to see you again, Eddie51... been a while!

If this is the same question as was asked by someone else earlier today, the answer is Gunmetal.

Nathan, if this is the same Q, you are better off posting it in Crosswords next time - there were lots of answers earlier!

Sorry, but we have never heard of metal called "bonze". Would like to know more about it.
