How Are Brass and Bronze Made?

[@DavidFMayerPhD]

Alloying copper with other metals also greatly reduces work hardening, which makes pure copper brittle after flexion.

I always wanted to know the difference. Thanks. That is why we had a Bronze age, but not a Brass age.

[@lindenhoch8396]

Oh but we did have a brass age, but only much later. In the beginning of the 1900's there were trumpets everywhere. Saxomophones, obomobos and also tubamabas. They didn't last that long though, and were replaced by synthesizers.

It will be useful if you can indicate the typical mix ratios of different elements in the alloys. Eg. 60:40 ( Cu:Zn) for Brass.

[@kennethhigdon1159]

Well it’s like this kiddos. When different metals love each other very very much they join together in matrimony and create a whole kind of metal called an Alloy. And that’s how brass and bronze are made

QA doesn't "ensure" quality: it confirms quality.

Great content. Very educational and interesting. Liked and Subscribed.👍👍

Bronze is amazing, but nobody make me a skillet from it

[@lucasholcombe3358]

Maybe the journey of lithium would be interesting?

[@SpruceSculptures]

What if you smelt brass and bronze in equal amounts?

[@earlwheelock7844]

What do you call a mixrture of copper and lead ????

[@ManMountainMetals]

Leaded copper. Fun fact if you add too much lead, the finishing piece will 'sweat' lead. 😂

A mess

When aircraft grade aluminum is melted down, does the aluminum go back to soft aluminum and the alloys that it had get cooked out? This is a fascinating video.
