Thank you for pointing that out way better than I can. Cliff notes for those that cannot follow. If brass is composed of copper and zinc, and you burned off the zinc by getting the mixture too hot, you no longer have brass because you do not have the zinc. so that was a mixture of aluminum and copper. Lastly, the rapid cooling of the metal is what made it even more brittle; air cooling would have resulted in a stronger compound and a lower brinell hardness.

I'm surprised he took so much time building this gas furnace and getting an actual crucible but not proper tongs to manipulate it. Rest in peace Grant. Your DIY science legacy lives on.

The reason why the metal became so brittle is because you cooled it with water. This causes micro air pockets to form in the newly mixed material, which make it extremely brittle. I would implore you to do the same half and half mixture and then let it cool on the concrete till room temp. The same principle can be found in welding, where whenever you add new material (or the weld filament), when you cool it down with water the same thing happens. The weld becomes brittle, and can’t hold up as much weight.

when you mix dissimular metals in a crucible you have to stir them well while molting to get a thorough blend. try reacting the 50/50 blend after stirring. you might be surprised at the resulting alloy. great video

The reason it shattered so easy doesn't have much to do with the metal more the fact that they are metals. While the aluminum is brittle, the reason it shattered so easily is because it was cooled down rapidly. This increases hardness (resistance to scratching) but increases brittleness (resistance to shattering). If it cooled down slowly, in air, in sand, etc. it would be less brittle but would also probably be less shiny

The rapid quenching with water tends to make metals a lot more brittle. The rate of cooling has a big effect on the way the crystalline structure forms and changes the metal properties a lot. That could make an interesting video, make the same mix of metal a few times, allow one to cool overnight, quench one in water, and quench one in liquid nitrogen. Then test how brittle they are.

@Landogarner83

Well it would work but not for long. While tungsten has a high melting point it oxidizes very fast at way lower temperatures. So as soon as you get it glowing hot it will oxidize on contact with air and slowly crumble away. Because of that reason high temp metal crucibles are typically made from platinum even though Tungsten has an even higher melting point and is much cheaper.

Two things I hope you guys consider. After watching this video, please try melting copper and ton for bronze and please try gold plating. It looks fun to watch.

Aluminum and copper are the basis for 'non-sparking' tools. Called aluminum bronze, it has a soft golden color, is a little heavier than Al and is very corrosion resistant. The curiosity I have is this: what do these alloys do in terms of heat-conductivity? Copper is one of the best cheap metals for carrying heat, Al comes in a distant third. Silver is the best, but at current prices you won't see too many Sterling Silver heat-sinks. Sterling is about 97% Ag, 3% Cu by weight. Next week on 'This old guy rambling', we make a Silver heat-sink by melting down some un-circulated 1923-D Peace dollars with a 1943 copper penny or two. Work with what you have, I guess.

thats a nice question, if it was an alloy thermal conductivity and thermal expansion would be in between copper and aluminum, however thats not an alloy, copper aluminate forms at that temperature, in my opinion thermal cond. would decrease dramatically since the crystal structure and mech. properties resemble ceramics.

FraznoFire That depends on your country. Davy spelled it alumium, then was and published in the official discovery as Aluminium. Young violated norms and decided take it upon himself to rename Davy's discovery as he liked -ium endings better (which also altered the pronunciation). Since this was discovered in 1812 when communications we're slow the aluminum spelling persisted in the US & Canada and aluminium persisted in British colonies. IUPAC indicates both are now valid and correct, and in official publicaions is almost 50/50.

Anthony Herbert they would become powder metal and totally Brittle because the grain structure is completely weakened by sudden cooling..

Quenching metals make them brittle. That's why tempering is needed afterwords. The reason smiths quench metal is because something brittle can be extremely sharp. But they temper afterwords because too brittle and it will lack durability. If you let them cool slowly I suspect the chances of them shattering upon being dropped would be reduced significantly.

@nerfinator6

This, if you JUST quench it in water, it's going to be EXTREMELY brittle, hence it shattering on the pavement, but if you temper it, say with a blowtorch or even just putting it in an oven for ages, it will help it gain some strength back.

Can you do anything with the slag? I find your videos hypnotic

You'd get more consistent pours if you used a gravy ladle instead of pouring directly from the crucible. Also, the 50/50 alloy probably shattered because you cooled it quickly in water, introducing stress fractures, rather than slowly annealing it in the crucible.
