About 20 years ago I had an old friend give me some ? pipe.
It was about 1 inch OD x 3/4" ID, He had cut it up into sections.
They were HARD, you could not bend them, and very OLD and dirty.
I smelted them down 12 - 15 years ago into ( 9 ) 3 pound ingots, and had forgotten about them till the other day when I was finishing smelting the last of some old wheel weights
I pulled them out and ???, they have no oxidation on them, still shiney as the day I cast them years ago.
Bright silver/gold with a hint of blue to the color, and dang hard.
Any thoughts as to what the alloy may be.
I will be taking a bunch of copper wire and scrap steel to be recycled soon so may be they have a way to scan it
