bell metal
Bell metal is typically a type of bronze with a high tin content, usually in the ratio of 4:1 of copper to tin (80% copper, 20% tin). It is named such because it is often used in the casting of bells due to its high resistance to corrosion, superior resonance and excellent casting properties. The higher tin content provides a resonant quality that makes the alloy an ideal material for making bells and other musical instruments.
