Overview

Excerpt from The Brass World and Platers' Guide, 1909, Vol. 5: A Journal Devoted to the Art of Refining, Alloying, Casting, Rolling, Founding, and Electroplating of All the Non-Ferrous Metals One of the firmly rooted beliefs in the brass industry has been that copper alloys. While red hot are not affected by quenching in water. This idea undoubtedly originated from the fact that steel. Containing over a certain percentage of carbon. Is hardened by such treatment. As brass and other copper alloys are not sensibly hardened by quenching. It has been assumed that they are not affected or altered in any way. Fig. 1. Test Bars of hot-rolled aluminum-bronze Before and After Quenching. Those with Irregular Fracture are the Quenched Bars.
