Plenty of inngots there! I would never ever melt brass just to make ingots if I was going to re-melt them to make castings, people think they're "cleaning" the metal but really they're boiling the zinc & degrading it.[my opinion] alloy is ok for remelting.

Yeah that is true, but because I do not have a steady supply of brass, I first make some nice sizeable ingots of it for later projects :)

@@Metalstacker Fair enough matey I guess I'm lucky enough to have loads of brass/bronze/alloy & cast iron, people get to know you & are always "dropping off" pot fodder for me especially when I do the odd turning/milling job for them. I built my 1st furnace nearly 50 yrs ago with my Dad. [& burnt a few out along the way!!]

Gotta love some great looking brass bars. I can see why the iron used bronze. Heat and water, good corrosion resistance. Awesome melt 👍
@Metalstacker Жыл бұрын
Thanks! Now that you say that, it makes sense to add another metal to the brass for an old iron. Too bad I noticed that too late and it contaminated my regular brass.

Thanks! The stack is growing steadily, but have to move it to the new shed once that is finished, it is getting too heavy for my floor LOL When I'm back at melting again will add some nice copper bars again to the stack :)

Brass and gold look like. How do you know if it is a brass bar or gold bar?
@Metalstacker Жыл бұрын
Thanks mate! Yeah copper is my favourit too and I will make some copper bullion in my next melting video, too bad that can take a while as I am pretty busy now with my new job and building of the shed :) Stay tuned, I will be back soon with weekly videos!

Gold does not tarnish and it will way almost double the weight with the same volume, so bars these size (the 900 gram brass bar) will way almost the double. 900 gram brass bar will be exactly the same size as 1700 gram gold bar :) If it where gold I would be a very happy person :) If I ever get 1 million subscribers, I will melt some gold :)

Dat is weer een mooie stapel baren. Het is altijd een verrassing wat voor verschillende metalen er in de messing zit. Onlangs heb ik een 75 kilo gesmolten (antiek beslag, gebruiks- en siervoorwerpen) waar zoveel rommel in zat, dat de buurt zwart zag van de rook. De volgende partij van hetzelfde adres heb ik geannuleerd, heb geen zin om de buurt te vervuilen.

Ja je weet nooit wat het is, ook al leek het messing, het was blijkbaar een brons (was een antiek strijk ijzer) 75 kilo is een mooie hoeveelheid! Verkoop je de baren weer of spaar je ze op voor later? Jammer dat er zoveel rommel tussen zat, als je een goed adres weet voor koper houd ik mij warm aanbevolen ;)

You should put the heavier metals on the bottom and work your way up to the lightest and then you should display what you make out of the metals.. just a suggestion...

Why are you wearing the gas mask?
@Metalstacker Жыл бұрын
Because brass is a copper alloy with zinc. Zinc produces toxic fumes while melting (the smoke you can see). It can cause metal fever when inhaling, so better protect myself with a proper gas mask :)
