Anyone know anything about brass-iron? | Melting Smelting | Forum

  I've been looking at copper alloys, and one of them was a brass-iron alloy that is harder than just brass, but I don't know how one would go about doing that. Seems like it only takes a tiny bit of iron to add, but even if one used it as a powder into the mix, would it be able to actually alloy? The temperature difference between iron and brass is pretty significant when it comes to alloying, so perhaps one would have to melt the iron first. . .

  Anyhow, that's why I'm asking. If anyone knows anything about this, that'd be great. (Hey, even a site or a book to look up this stuff would be a nice recommendation.)
