Likely properties of Advanced Alloy

RockRaiderZulu · Nov 5th 2012

First, a list of "similar" alloys (composition in percentages):
Manganese bronze (ASTM 138 )
Cu 58.5, Zn 39.2, Fe 1.0, Sn 1.0, Mn 0.3

And so far that is the only one with iron, tin, AND copper.

Here are some links to aid in the search and comparison to steels:

If you are wondering why copper based alloys, it is because of the amount of copper that goes into AA and the fact that I have not found an alloy based from tin or iron that has all of those metals in it.

And this is here because... ?

RockRaiderZulu · Nov 6th 2012

Because I think it would be interesting to see how Al would react to the properties of AA, which from a mechanical engineer I know and what I know in the subject, may not be that good.

React in what way exactly... ?

I think what he means is: He posted this because he felt like it.

I know that, i was leading him to "Discover" how useless his post really was. But you had to be such a party pooper huh?

What's your issue with trying to find relations between Advanced Alloy in reallife counterparts?
It's in the right section, it's entertaining.

I find it to be information that has no use whatsoever, but if you like this kind of info then i won't say anything more on related threads.

I actually enjoyed reading what RockRaiderZulu had to say.
The use is relating a videogame to something in real life.

Good read Zulu, good read.

In minecraft its 33% refined iron, 33% bronze (which is 75% copper and 25% tin) and 33% tin which is way different from in reallife which also means it will have completely different properties.

The high tin content is what leads me to believe that it would likely be bronze in behavior. I'll see what appears with replacing the iron with copper since the two would form a substitutional alloy.

I found another alloy that has iron and tin together.

Zinc – 9.9%
Tin – 2.2%
Iron – 1.9%
Phosphorus – 0.03%
Copper – 85.97%

It is a Phosphor Bronze

I have found that two parts copper and one part tin yields a brittle alloy.

Hey Al, maybe you should consider making bells.

Whoa, I clicked on bells, and saw this link in the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stannite

Stannite ore, smeltable into advanced metal alloy ingots?
