about 7 years ago i melted some indoor range scrap and WW into ingots .The WW and range scrap was done separately so no mixing happened. I had the ingots tested and they came out 17-18 bhn (WW) and 11-12bhn (range scrap)
Heres my question...both of these numbers seem very high by what i see on the web for the ranges of these type alloys. What in the world could be causing this higher values?
