hello, new here, my question is there an alloy that is cheap(so not a high tin content), 25 brinell and not brittle?
I'll probably be using wheel weights since they have some arsenic in them(if anyone has any to sell I'd be interested in buying later, 80 pounds or so).
wheel weights
Antimony
Zinc
Copper
Tin
Water quenching
Those are the elements you can use to make an alloy and the last to harden it.
Is there a combination of the above that yields me my desired characteristics?
And when I say not brittle I mean if I strike it with a hammer it will deform and not crack or shatter.
