Quite a few years ago I decided to try e-scrap. Well That did not work out. So, any who, I have about 5 lbs of this alloy , that I had melted out of prossessors, circuit boards etc, in preparation for chemical separation . (I was gonna' refine me some gold and silver.)
Well, while I work in a metallurgical lab, we are only set up for aluminum and zinc alloys. However, a couple years ago, I got a fellow from another lab, that sometimes worked with us, to do a Spectroscope chem on it, for me.
Here is the analysis results, rounded to the nearest tenth.
SN 91.3, PB 3.8, AG1.8, AU1.2 , AS1.7
I even though it is a strange mix, it is mostly Tin and lead.
Was planing a melt session, as soon as it warms up a bit, and I get a day off. Planning to mix all my current range scrap in a 20 lb cast pot, then pour me some consistent ingots.
Maybe, I could add it to my range scrap to help it flow nice. But having over 1% of gold, and silver, kinda worries me. What is your thoughts?
Just would hate to have something that I could get some use out of, just sit around collecting dust.
