Silly question, are you after bronze instead of brass?! I'm asking because it looks like it. :P :D ;)




take care

Indeed that was a try to see what I get if I use values near to reality (phisical value). :oops: :lol: :wink:

Now I'm trying to create bronze with real parameters.

P.S. You can get more alloy values (for Copper) looking into Table "Chemical composition of copper alloys" (see the bottom of the page)
:wink:

The following image is the test for Tin bronze: Cu=88%, Sn=8%, Zn=4%. (replaced "Sn" with "Al" very similar)

Your alloys are looking nice Delle !

Are exponents arbitrary ? I suppose they can be, as they represent the finish of the mmaterial.

Thank you :oops:

Yes they are, In this test I use 200 for all sub-elements of the alloy.

In general I think it's better to maintain the same value for all sub-elements of the alloy :roll:
