"some alloys didn't mix very well" well I mean you got alloys that melt from 327 °C (lead) to alloys that melt only from 3 422 °C(tungsten) quite the different extremes, quite sure the tungsten didn't get even close to meting in the crucible while the lead started to boil at that point(it boils at 1750 °C)
The tungsten doesn’t have to reach melting point, it is quite soluble in a melt of various metals. In fact that is how tungsten is added to tungsten bearing alloys - as a solid into a liquid melt (of say iron, nickel and chromium)
I was curious about why iron replaced bronze, and the explanation I found had to do with availability rather than superiority. Bronze required conquering large territories to access sources of its two components, whereas iron is abundantly distributed and can be mined in one spot.
As he mentioned, copper can be found in it's pure form naturally while afaik, iron can not. This explains why the bronze age existed and used bronze, as purifying iron to make it workable, especially with it's high melting point, is likely rather difficult without the appropriate tools. And while yes, iron was much more abundant, it is also harder and thus better fit for weaponry. But the real breakthrough in regards to hardness was steel. Even rather early bone steel, like vikings used, significantly improved the iron weapons
The main difficulty AFAIK was just getting the iron out of the ore. Even after that, iron needs to be made into steel or undergo proper heat treatment to meet or exceed bronze's specifications. But once that barrier is passed, it's extremely worth it, since iron is far more abundant in general. And by far more I mean orders of magnitude more. This lets you build far more weapons, armors, etc, leading to a huge advantage even if the quality was a bit iffy at first.
It's same with titanium. It's the 9th most abundant metal on Earth, and better than steel in every way. It's just a pain in the ass to get, and even harder to work with.
@@ianlindstrom2019The weaker iron was still incredibly useful though because its better than copper and much easier to source than bronze even if its harder to process into a useful form. Due to the reasons the top comment mentioned. If you wanted bronze you were reliant on trade and foreign states being stable because the metals required to create bronze were not accessible in the same region in large quantities. So if a foreign state that is the source of one part of the bronze recipe collapses or gets embroiled in war or trade is disrupted... then tough luck you cant get your bronze.

Have you considered having someone polish this sample and look at the microstructure? Do you have a lab near you with an SEM-EDS that can give you a compositional map of the phases present in the metal?
I am just about to finish training in that field. If I ever got this alloy on my hands, I'd do everything with it. Look at the microstructure with light microscopes, SEMs. Then prepare a small slice of it for a TEM to see how the structure would look like. Then the rest of it would undergo several hardness tests, strength and pressure tests and chemical tests. I'd be absolutely eager to hold an alloy like this in my hands, just to find out how absolutely weird it would be.
@@scottfree6479 To polish is different from something polish For example polishing your nails does not mean that you paint them white and red, but that you make them not feel rough anymore. You wouldn't feel it's texture with your fingers anymore. But I feel you that these two words can be quite confusing 😂

what happens is most of them evaporate. Getting anything hot enough to melt Tungsten and the other higher melting point metals is above the boiling temp of many metals. Which means they have to evaporate before the furnace meltl can get hot enough to melt the tungsten.
I was expecting a mashup of Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Black Sabbath, and maybe a dash of Pantera. But that would be too heavy for your scale of justice for all! I'll see myself out now.
I was actually taught the transition to the iron age differently. What I was taught was that the transition occurred because iron, being an element that could be mined, was more readably available than bronze, being an alloy that had to be manufactured. bronze weapons continued to crop up, particularly in the hands of high-ranking individuals like kings and emperors. Iron was reserved for more general use, like common weapons and tools, but since it was more brittle, wasn't used by those who could afford bronze. For reference, this was in a college level class.
The switch from bronze to iron happened over the course of many centuries and over many cultures. It's not hard to believe that the switch was caused by different things for different peoples in different places at different times.
This is true, but only part of the story. Iron still required more advanced furnaces than were available at the start of the Bronze Age, and it wasn’t until the development of steel (also an alloy) that bronze became clearly outdated. Bronze is harder than pure iron, less brittle than the high-carbon iron which might have been produced easily, can be smelted at lower temperatures than true steel, and is less sensitive to exposure to carbon from the fuel used to smelt it. It’s certainly a simpler technology than iron and steel, but not necessarily worse than either.
@@ZeteticPhilosopher Steel was produced accidentally from the very earliest periods of the iron age, but it wasn't reliably produced until long after iron was used. Indians started reliably producing steel around 400 BC, around 800 years after what historians consider the end of the bronze age. It didn't become a common use metal in Europe until the 18th century, you basically had to be rich to get it before that. You correct though that bronze didn't stop being used just because iron came on the scene, it's just that iron took over as the main metal for lots of things such as tools, weapons and armors.
This has me curious as to what something like this alloy would turn out being like if it's proportions were more methodical rather than being kind of random save for there being slightly more iron than anything else in the alloy. Like if there were right proportions to make a true amalgamation where everything added genuinely combines that would be rather interesting.
Years ago I worked in the testing lab of a Aluminum and Magnesium foundry. We made some parts for aerospace applications. Some of the AL alloys were tremendously strong with high tensile and elasticity properties.

Mixing 5 to 12 elements together will find a surprising feature - things gets easy to be mixed perfectly. It is all because of the entropy. If interested, highly recommended to study for thermodynamics .
I love the dubbing so much. Also, he sure loves Borax. "After the chili con carne has simmered for 10 minutes, i'm adding some Borax, stir it around, and its ready"
I believe what you created was a high entropy alloy. They’re hard to make at high qualities but tend to be insanely hard, strong, abrasion resistant, heat resistant, radiation resistant, and have interesting magnetic and electrical properties. If we could mass produce high quality cheap high entropy allows it would likely make all other alloys obsolete.
@@shibenue2890 why? just look at how much microchip tech has been optimized, its gotten so so much more higher quality, mass produced, and cheap over the past century
Very poorly. If the metal is as hard as it seems it will snap/shatter instead of bending when it delivers a hard impact. Plus there are bound to be inconsistencies over a large ingot that would make weakpoints in the blade.
@@Sov_spoiled There aren't any metals we "dont know of" every element has been mapped on the periodic table. Anything beyond that is not naturally occurring, requires MASSIVE amounts of energy to create, and only exists for a few milliseconds before it becomes unstable and breaks down into a lower energy element.
Since all metals have different melting points, (albeit, some have very similiar ones) fusing them together into one massive super metal would be an amazing feat. I feel like this massive alloy would either be very brittle or incredibly strong, no in between.
High strength and brittleness tend to go together, I’m afraid. Glass is very strong but very brittle for example. Getting toughness and strength together is quite a challenge.
I was sad that he didnt add any radio active meatals but it was prob for the better because the fumes, but he should of at least added bismuth or gallium it would of made the mix interesting
Would be interesting to see this alloy upscaled to pressure vessel size to measure it's susceptibility to compressive stresses in excess of 100,000 psig.
I'd be interested to see this alloy's hardness tested and test its malleability, ductility and other physical properties like how it works cold and hot.
I was also impressed with your small induction heater. I had the pleasure of working with a larger one on another job working with precious metals. All of the crucible’s were graphite.
If you are interested in these kind of alloys try searching up high entropy alloy. It has many applications in high temperature environment such as airplane turbine blades and nuclear reactor vessel
A large difference in atomic radii of the various metals most likely resulted in some form of dislocation hardening, and most likely large globs of elements have perceptitated likewise increasing hardness

You could probably hammer the nugget flat, and fold it, repeat a bunch of times, to better mix the metals. Then remelt it. But I think it would have been better to sacrifice the crucible, and just let the alloy cool without exposure to the air. The nugget is likely worth quite a bit more than the crucible anyway.

"some alloys didn't mix very well"
well I mean you got alloys that melt from 327 °C (lead) to alloys that melt only from 3 422 °C(tungsten)
quite the different extremes, quite sure the tungsten didn't get even close to meting in the crucible while the lead started to boil at that point(it boils at 1750 °C)
probably need to melt under innert gas?
imagine gallium
boiling lead sounds really bad tho
The tungsten doesn’t have to reach melting point, it is quite soluble in a melt of various metals. In fact that is how tungsten is added to tungsten bearing alloys - as a solid into a liquid melt (of

9:55 "I can sense its power" *ominous synth music intensifies*
The music is from a game called mindustry, i think. Its a factory building game with resources like copper, lead, thorium, etc
I was curious about why iron replaced bronze, and the explanation I found had to do with availability rather than superiority. Bronze required conquering large territories to access sources of its two components, whereas iron is abundantly distributed and can be mined in one spot.
I looked it up and it said only pure iron but I didn't research I only looked it for like a minute so dont take my comment as a fact
As he mentioned, copper can be found in it's pure form naturally while afaik, iron can not. This explains why the bronze age existed and used bronze, as purifying iron to make it workable, especially with it's high melting point, is likely rather difficult without the appropriate tools. And while yes, iron was much more abundant, it is also harder and thus better fit for weaponry. But the real breakthrough in regards to hardness was steel. Even rather early bone steel, like vikings used, significantly improved the iron weapons
The main difficulty AFAIK was just getting the iron out of the ore. Even after that, iron needs to be made into steel or undergo proper heat treatment to meet or exceed bronze's specifications. But once that barrier is passed, it's extremely worth it, since iron is far more abundant in general. And by far more I mean orders of magnitude more. This lets you build far more weapons, armors, etc, leading to a huge advantage even if the quality was a bit iffy at first.
It's same with titanium. It's the 9th most abundant metal on Earth, and better than steel in every way. It's just a pain in the ass to get, and even harder to work with.
@@ianlindstrom2019The weaker iron was still incredibly useful though because its better than copper and much easier to source than bronze even if its harder to process into a useful form.
Due to the reasons the top comment mentioned. If you wanted bronze you were reliant on trade and foreign states being stable because the metals required to create bronze were not accessible in the same region in large quantities. So if a foreign state that is the source of one part of the bronze recipe collapses or gets embroiled in war or trade is disrupted... then tough luck you cant get your bronze.

THIS.
That would have been **suuuper cool** to see with his super alloy, eh?
I am just about to finish training in that field. If I ever got this alloy on my hands, I'd do everything with it. Look at the microstructure with light microscopes, SEMs. Then prepare a small slice of it for a TEM to see how the structure would look like. Then the rest of it would undergo several hardness tests, strength and pressure tests and chemical tests.
I'd be absolutely eager to hold an alloy like this in my hands, just to find out how absolutely weird it would be.

what happens is most of them evaporate.
Getting anything hot enough to melt Tungsten and the other higher melting point metals is above the boiling temp of many metals. Which means they have to evaporate before the furnace meltl can get hot enough to melt the tungsten.

I was actually taught the transition to the iron age differently. What I was taught was that the transition occurred because iron, being an element that could be mined, was more readably available than bronze, being an alloy that had to be manufactured. bronze weapons continued to crop up, particularly in the hands of high-ranking individuals like kings and emperors. Iron was reserved for more general use, like common weapons and tools, but since it was more brittle, wasn't used by those who could afford bronze.
For reference, this was in a college level class.
The switch from bronze to iron happened over the course of many centuries and over many cultures. It's not hard to believe that the switch was caused by different things for different peoples in different places at different times.
This is true, but only part of the story. Iron still required more advanced furnaces than were available at the start of the Bronze Age, and it wasn’t until the development of steel (also an alloy) that bronze became clearly outdated.
Bronze is harder than pure iron, less brittle than the high-carbon iron which might have been produced easily, can be smelted at lower temperatures than true steel, and is less sensitive to exposure to carbon from the fuel used to smelt it.
It’s certainly a simpler technology than iron and steel, but not necessarily worse than either.
For reference, I learned all of that from UA-cam videos on the Bronze Age collapse.
@@ZeteticPhilosopher Steel was produced accidentally from the very earliest periods of the iron age, but it wasn't reliably produced until long after iron was used. Indians started reliably producing steel around 400 BC, around 800 years after what historians consider the end of the bronze age. It didn't become a common use metal in Europe until the 18th century, you basically had to be rich to get it before that.
You correct though that bronze didn't stop being used just because iron came on the scene, it's just that iron took over as the main metal for lots of things such as tools, weapons and armors.
Also tin wasn't common (copper and iron was). We still aren't 100% sure where Roman Empire got all it's tin from.
This has me curious as to what something like this alloy would turn out being like if it's proportions were more methodical rather than being kind of random save for there being slightly more iron than anything else in the alloy. Like if there were right proportions to make a true amalgamation where everything added genuinely combines that would be rather interesting.

I believe what you created was a high entropy alloy. They’re hard to make at high qualities but tend to be insanely hard, strong, abrasion resistant, heat resistant, radiation resistant, and have interesting magnetic and electrical properties. If we could mass produce high quality cheap high entropy allows it would likely make all other alloys obsolete.

Since all metals have different melting points, (albeit, some have very similiar ones) fusing them together into one massive super metal would be an amazing feat. I feel like this massive alloy would either be very brittle or incredibly strong, no in between.
High strength and brittleness tend to go together, I’m afraid. Glass is very strong but very brittle for example. Getting toughness and strength together is quite a challenge.

You could probably hammer the nugget flat, and fold it, repeat a bunch of times, to better mix the metals. Then remelt it.
But I think it would have been better to sacrifice the crucible, and just let the alloy cool without exposure to the air. The nugget is likely worth quite a bit more than the crucible anyway.
