| Mar 25, 2014 at 7:08 | comment | added | Tim | は is used to place emphasis on what comes after it, in this case the number of uses the alloy has. It is clear from the first sentence and 「~など、」"whose uses" we are referring to. If the は was replaced with が the passage would be flat, you would lose the emphasis on 広い and so it is harder for the reader recognise the importance of this and they would inclined to say "so what?" | |

| Mar 25, 2014 at 2:00 | comment | added | dainichi | Both は and が are acceptable here, but by using は, I feel there's a slight change of focus from the alloy itself to its applications. Some more context might be useful. Does the text go on to describe these applications in more detail? | |
