Bronze is the most popular metal for cast metal sculptures; a cast bronze sculpture is often called simply a "bronze". Making bronzes is highly skilled work, and a number of distinct casting processes may be employed, including lost-wax casting (and its modern-day spin-off investment casting), sandcasting and centrifugal casting. Common bronze alloys have the unusual and desirable property of expanding slightly just before they set, thus filling the finest details of a mold.
Bronze is widely used for cast metal sculpture. Common bronze alloys often have the unusual and very desirable property of expanding slightly just before they set, thus filling in the finest details of a mould. Bronze has resistance to corrosion by sea water along with several bronze alloys. Bronze also has very little metal-on-metal friction, which made it invaluable.
