Abstract	Bell metal is an alloy in approximately a 4: ratio of Cu and Sn.. Bell metal as the name itself suggests is used for making bells as the particular combination of copper and tin gives strength and resistance to abrasions. This combination gives a particular 'clang' sound which is clear and distinct when struck. Bell metal is also used in the manufacturing of utensils. The bell metal is composed of 80% Copper and 20% Tin i.e. (Cu(80%),Sn(20%) ‘Alloy’ is defined as a metallic substance that is composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution. The components of alloys are commonly themselves metals, though carbon, which is a non-metal, is a primary constituent of steel..Bell metal, characterized by its sonorous quality when struck, is a bronze with a high tin content of 20–25 percent. Statuary bronze, with a tin content of less than 10 percent and an admixture of zinc and lead, is technically a brass (a copper-zinc alloy). This type of metal was called bell metal because of its prominent use in making bells used around the world. The bells are typically created using melting and casting methods as well as complex metallurgical compositions of copper, tin, zinc and lead to create these musical instruments with a wide range of sounds.
