    machining silicon brass rod in 144" lenghts

    Hello, I require about 300 feet per month of 1 7/8" C65500 silicon brass rod, but it is only commercially available in 2" diameter. The standard rod comes in 144 inch lengths, and I am having trouble finding a machine shop to turn down the rod. The 144" pieces could be cut in half before...

    Welding two bronze alloys together

    We are working with a sign company and need to weld sheets of alloy C22000 alloy to a bronze sculpture, C87300 alloy (Everdur). We are using tig but it doesn't seem to melt the metal very well at all. Any suggestions on a better way to weld this metal? Thank you. David

    Quantitative Oxide Test

    Hello, I am looking to have surface oxide tests performed on a group of foundry silicon brass castings in order to try to determine the optimal amount of foundry returns that can be added to each melt, which will produce quality castings. Sample 1 - a melt with 100% ingot Sample 2 - a melt...

    Cast Iron Alloy Suggestion

    We are casting a variety of brass and bronze alloys into ingot form, in a cast iron 30 class double cavity mold. Typical casting temperature of most of the alloys is 2200 F. After the metal is poured into the mold, it travels thru a water spray in order for the metal to solidify in time so...

    Graph showing order of oxidation of elements in copper alloys

    Could anyone tell me where I could find this graph which shows the order of oxidation of elements in a copper bath in the 2000 - 2400 F range. I seem to remember seeing the temperature on the x axis. Thanks

    "Darkening" cast brass without changing Cu / Zn ratios

    I have to produce a casting that is approximately 80 % Copper and 20 % zinc, but would prefer to have this casting that turns out darker in colour - more like a 95 % Copper and 5 % Zinc alloy. Could add some other minor elements, but have to keep Copper and Zinc in those ranges. Any...
