Ibhulonzi wuhlobo lwengxubevange esekwe ethusi enento eyinhloko ye-alloying ye-Tin. Ukuqina namandla ethusi kukhuphuka ngokwanda kokuqukethwe kwe-tin. I-ductility nayo iyancipha ngokunyuka kwamathini ngaphezu kuka-5%. Uma i-aluminium nayo yengezwa (4% kuya ku-11%), ingxubevange ewumphumela ibizwa nge-aluminium bronze, enokumelana nokugqwala okuphakeme kakhulu. Ama-bronze abiza kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nezithusi ngenxa yokuba khona kukathayela okuyinsimbi ebizayo.
