keyur vyas Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hi everyone, I want to make red brass bushings and I wanted your advice on either should i melt red brass ingot or should I use copper, lead, sn, zn to make red brass ? Also if I melt red brass which elements will I loose? I melt red brass but when it gets solid again it looks kind of dark colored like black, what am I doing wrong? I am melting it in induction heater.I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you ver much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Welcome to the forum and please put a location in your profile, (nearest main city and country). It's important when recieving replies to quiestions. Red Brass, (C230 ?, Gunmetal? ) for bushings......which will need machining. My advice bases on the information given is to buy or otherwise source a suitable bronze for bushings and machine to size. Easier, cheaper, and safer.

ThomasPowers Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 May I commend to your attention a whole series of forums focused on casting metals: http://www.alloyavenue.com/vb/forum.php They may be a better resource than here where forging of metals is the primary focus and everything else is less a focus.
