[@Kreln1221]

For bronze, I would add the application of fine musical instrument bells, cymbals, and gongs, such as the 80% copper/20% tin bell bronze formula developed by the Zildjian family centuries ago in Armenia, and which is used to this day by most of the worlds' main major cymbal makers. The wonderful bronze bells, from European cathedrals to Tibetan monasteries, are also worthy of mention...

As a welder, I quickly learned that one does not heat bronze to bend it. I must be bent cold. When hot, it is as brittle as China. It shatters, crumbles.

[@josephemond2025]

@daniel tanYou misunderstand. The reference to china is what most Americans call their fine dinner plates ussualy only used for holidays and family gatherings. We call it "china" or "fine china"and are fragile. That being said most americans as well as the world are sick of junky Chinese imported products that break on there first use.

@@josephemond2025 It isn't so much the cheap products that people find offensive, but the policies driving the production. See the Lao Gai Museum in Washington D.C. for documentation and evidence of China's huge slave-labor force. See also Life and Death in Shanghai. I believe "daniel tan" was making an attempt at humor or light-hearted sarcasm. However, your using a capital letter to describe fine porcelain plates generates some confusion. China uses a lowercase c in that context. Why do you Capitalize China but not America?

One of the more interesting metals I've encountered as a surveyor is aluminum bronze; it was used at one time for international border monuments because of its corrosion resistance.

For an interesting metal consider Oilite or Oil-impregnated bronze. Cut it and it weeps oil. For self lubricating applications.

[@blackburn1111]

centrifugal casting! I work at another major metal distributor and always wondered why all the types of bronze have the banding pattern

[@Vincent_Sullivan]

Excellent video and I learned a few things. For example, at 0:52 I learned you can braise copper! First I browned a piece of my copper (incidentally purchased at Metal Supermarket on Keating X-Road) in an electric frying pan on "high" which worked pretty well and then stewed it for a couple of hours in a pot with some BBQ sauce. Overall I would not recommend it. It came out rather tasteless and very tough to chew. I put it back in stock and someday I might braze something together with it. Incidentally, Acreales and Alan Hilder commented that Gold is more conductive that either copper or silver. This is not correct assuming that you are talking about standard methods of measuring resistivity. Silver is best at 1.59 X 10 to the minus 8 Ohms*M, annealed Copper is 1.72 X 10 to the minus 8 Ohms*M, and Gold is 2.44 X 10 to the minus 8 Ohms*M. Ohms*M is a standard method of measuring resistivity based on the resistance of a certain physical size of a piece of material. A lower number indicates less resistivity. Some might wonder why Aluminum (2.65 X 10 to the minus 8 Ohms*M) is sometimes used in high voltage power lines when it is a rather poor conductor. The answer is that it is inexpensive and light - so you can make a wire that is larger in cross section than copper so it has a lower resistance and even though there is more volume of material it is lighter and cheaper than copper. Alan also mentioned that Gold is used in making computer chips. He is more or less correct, but the reason it is used is not because it is a better conductor. It is used because it does not corrode or oxidize easily. These days most of the wiring on the layers of the chips is made of copper but the wires are getting so thin that electro-migration is becoming a problem. This is an effect where the current flowing through the wire actually carries atoms of copper along with it - which eventually damages the wire. The next generation of computer chips may use cobalt (6.25 X 10 to the minus 8 Ohms*M) as the conductor not because Cobalt is a good conductor but because it is resistant to electro-migration even in very small cross sections.

[@clarencegreen3071]

Very informative post, but your initial joke fails because of the difference in spelling: braze vs braise. And they are pronounced the same.

[@Vincent_Sullivan]

@@clarencegreen3071 Turn on English closed captions at 0:52 and you will get the joke. I agree that the pronunciation of the two words is very similar but, at least in the way I pronounce, them there are subtle differences. The tongue is positioned differently leading to more sibilance (hiss) for the word braise and more "buzz" for the word braze. Your mileage and accent may vary...

[@texasboy2005]

On the bronze piece, the "rings" or chill lines are a result of the continuous cast process not from the centrifugal cast process. The rest of the video was pretty good.

[@StonesAndSand]

Exactly

[@CraftAero]

The lines on the bronze bar are a result of the "continuous casting" process (aka: con-cast), NOT "centrifugal casting". Other than that, good video.

Copper is a very special metal that was used in the old world that has been erased from history. I've heard of ancient copper weapons like spears and arrows that were found that reverted back to it's original shape when bent from tip to tip.. and ancient copper statues that glowed in the dark. There was something about using radium to temper the copper that gave it magical properties

Copper was also used to line sailing ship hulls to prevent the growth of marine organisms including barnacles. In the 20th century boat's bottom paint was paint mixed with a high amount of powdered copper. I love bronze. Oxidized, it is beautiful. It is the "stainless steel" of industry before the latter was invented. Also used for swords before the invention of steel. The alloy of Ulysses.

I've tried to work brass from scrap bins and almost all the metal i use cracks even after firing it, or some sheets, cracked when i bent them in a sheet metal press. However, i brass plumbing pipe i fired, after splitting down the middle, has made me 3 awesome, flat, rectangle hilt guards for swords. I'm almost turned off to brass, cuz the variations can't seem to be worked without major discoloration and cracking when working, hot or cold.
