Thanks for the replies,
i did some testing this morning, with sulfuric acid.(37%)
One sample is positief zinc (read ink on the foto), the other one is the unkown.
The zinc bubbeld a little
The other foto was a sample that was bend one time, and snapt at a angel of 45 dergrees.
For a test i take a “testing"pan with some disformd bullets and a sample on the gascooker
first i did the sample in the pan and waited for 5 minuts, than i added some bullets, sorry there where no boolits so i meld them.
the bullets melded very quickley, then the sample melted likewise, it appeard that the two metals, would become a alloy but they didnt, even not fluxing with parrafin wax 2 times.There was a type of dross on top of it
Then i put the testing pan in the woodstove, for more heat, with the same results
When i throw a sample in the woodstove,whitout sitting in a pan or can.
it does melt.
And sorry i dont have a lead themometer, so its all geussing about the temps.
I hope that those experiments where a kind of a help, and i hope my foto's are coming on the site, if not i did something wrong
C Ya and many thanks
