    For bronze, I would add the application of fine musical instrument bells, cymbals, and gongs, such as the 80% copper/20% tin bell bronze formula developed by the Zildjian family centuries ago in Armenia, and which is used to this day by most of the worlds' main major cymbal makers. The wonderful bronze bells, from European cathedrals to Tibetan monasteries, are also worthy of mention...

    Excellent video and I learned a few things. For example, at 0:52 I learned you can braise copper! First I browned a piece of my copper (incidentally purchased at Metal Supermarket on Keating X-Road) in an electric frying pan on "high" which worked pretty well and then stewed it for a couple of hours in a pot with some BBQ sauce. Overall I would not recommend it. It came out rather tasteless and very tough to chew. I put it back in stock and someday I might braze something together with it. Incidentally, Acreales and Alan Hilder commented that Gold is more conductive that either copper or silver. This is not correct assuming that you are talking about standard methods of measuring resistivity. Silver is best at 1.59 X 10 to the minus 8 Ohms*M, annealed Copper is 1.72 X 10 to the minus 8 Ohms*M, and Gold is 2.44 X 10 to the minus 8 Ohms*M. Ohms*M is a standard method of measuring resistivity based on the resistance of a certain physical size of a piece of material. A lower number indicates less resistivity. Some might wonder why Aluminum (2.65 X 10 to the minus 8 Ohms*M) is sometimes used in high voltage power lines when it is a rather poor conductor. The answer is that it is inexpensive and light - so you can make a wire that is larger in cross section than copper so it has a lower resistance and even though there is more volume of material it is lighter and cheaper than copper. Alan also mentioned that Gold is used in making computer chips. He is more or less correct, but the reason it is used is not because it is a better conductor. It is used because it does not corrode or oxidize easily. These days most of the wiring on the layers of the chips is made of copper but the wires are getting so thin that electro-migration is becoming a problem. This is an effect where the current flowing through the wire actually carries atoms of copper along with it - which eventually damages the wire. The next generation of computer chips may use cobalt (6.25 X 10 to the minus 8 Ohms*M) as the conductor not because Cobalt is a good conductor but because it is resistant to electro-migration even in very small cross sections.

    @@clarencegreen3071 Turn on English closed captions at 0:52 and you will get the joke. I agree that the pronunciation of the two words is very similar but, at least in the way I pronounce, them there are subtle differences. The tongue is positioned differently leading to more sibilance (hiss) for the word braise and more "buzz" for the word braze. Your mileage and accent may vary...

    Copper was also used to line sailing ship hulls to prevent the growth of marine organisms including barnacles. In the 20th century boat's bottom paint was paint mixed with a high amount of powdered copper. I love bronze. Oxidized, it is beautiful. It is the "stainless steel" of industry before the latter was invented. Also used for swords before the invention of steel. The alloy of Ulysses.
