Ubhedu yinto eqhelekileyo yentsimbi ebomini bethu. Ekuqaleni yayibhekisela kwi-alloy ye-copper-tin. Kodwa kwishishini, iialloyi zobhedu eziqulethe i-aluminium, i-silicon, ilothe, i-beryllium, i-manganese kunye nezinye izinto zetsimbi. Ukufakwa kwetyhubhu eyenziwe nge-tin bronze, ubhedu lwe-aluminium, ubhedu lwesilicon, ubhedu olulothe. Iityhubhu zobhedu zinokwahlulwa zibe ngamacandelo amabini: iityhubhu zebronze ezicutshungulwayo kunye netyhubhu yobhedu. Ezi zifakelo zetyhubhu zobhedu zingasetyenziselwa iindawo eziphantsi kokukhuhlana okanye ukubola kumashishini afana nezixhobo zeekhemikhali kunye namalungu angagugiyo.
