Copper, Brass & Bronze alloys explained

[darthvader]

Typo-mistake correction: It is not 50% copper and 50% copper. It is 50% copper and 50% nickel.
This is what they taught us at mechanical engineering school in the 1950s concerning copper alloys, especially the bronzes.
1. silicon bronze: 1% silicon and 99% copper.
2. phosphor bronze: 1% phosphor and 99% copper.
3. aluminum bronze: 1% aluminum and 99% copper.
4. monel: 50% copper and 50% nickel.
5. tin bronze: 10% tin and 90%copper.
6. molybdenum bronze: 40% molybdenum and 60% copper.
7. tungsten bronze: 30% tungsten and 70% copper.
8. manganese bronze: 50% manganese and 50% copper.
Additions: 2% vanadium, 3% chromium, 3% misch metal alloy, 1% iron, 1% magnesium.
The advent of mechanical alloying wherein you melt different alloys separately and mix them together in a single crucible with an induction stirrer-melter.

whoa, found me another rabbit hole! thanks, more than I thought to ask! eventually I will find my way back to the previous rabbit hole, which is guns and ammo, which led to wondering about ammo cases, which led me to this. love me some rabbit holes

[paulmarais]

For some reason this particular video has no sound for me?

[Stoney]

Why do some bronze have a magnetic pull to them. They look like bronze.

[benjigray]

I came straight here, when I wanted to find out what sorta metal we were cutting up, it looks like what my boss and I both call "gun metal".
I am employed in the recycling business, and I've bin interested in metals for a lotta years,
some time ago I watched, and then re watched your video about all the different types of stainless steel.
Our firm sells the various scrap metals that we process, sorting them accurately is very important.
I have found your videos very informative and helpful,
Thank you.

very nicely shown to give a rundown of copper alloys tho the common alloy number systems have changed, i.e. C110, C360, C932 and C954

[oksomkar]

anyone tell which bronze verity gives ringing sound when hard metal hits?

[Tag-Traeumer]

It says here that copper-nickel has a very high strength (4:53) and beryllium copper has a high strength (2:46). But it's true the other way around: Beryllium copper has the highest hardness and strength of all copper alloys.

[gustavoargumanis]

Of all the alloys, which ones was the bronze used for warfare in the bronze age?

And some people say that brass can be even better than bronze. How is that?

[kalme]

How about brass and copper when exposed to heat, will they expand, sir?

[joewest]

This would make a great laminated chart

[timrauscher]

Good video with good content. I enjoyed the education. The only thing I can suggest is that it be slowed down a little as I don't read fast enough.

[sherrys.]

Oh God, thank you for the explanation!

[VencedorGamer]

Wow, I didn't realize there were that many options for copper. 😮

[HsmwireIntl]

wonderful for learning al alloys and copper and stainless steel alloys

[Nittyb]

Thank you. Just what I was looking for in regards to the C101 copper.

[Sierra-tcyq]

So how can i turn t hat s hit info rolas tuyas the qwestion

[georgebelev]

So basically everything comes from copper

[Lord_RavnFar_Tannerwise]

all i wanna know is if i mold an iron skillet and smelt down and pour a casting of that skillet in aluminum bronze is it safe to use as intended for food or will it be toxic and unusable!?
