srm16335 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Hello all, I have some questions about brass. would a casted bar of brass be as strong as an extruded bar of brass? Also would a casted bar turn as well on a lathe as an extruded bar? Thanx in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Which alloy? By less strong are you talking yield point, compression, tensile or torsion? (There are hundreds of copper based alloys out there and some are better one way than the other.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 There are better places to look for your answers than a blacksmith forum. I suggest looking at the metal maker's product data sheets. They list the general alloy, strengths and working characteristics. Frosty The Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeJustice Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Look for ASM Metals reference book, it lists the properties of different metals and their alloys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
