Ever since I bought a sailboat a few years ago, I’ve been fascinated by bronze. Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, is used in a number of marine applications due to it’s excellent corrosion resistance, better than stainless steel. When exposed to air it slowly forms a lovely patina, formed by oxidized bronze. This layer of oxidization also protects the rest of the metal, preventing any rust.
