Alloy,
Keep your comments and explanations coming! They are fascinating.
Dumb questions...why aren't you going to smelt Kovar? Does it take a LOT of heat to get Nickel to melt?
Is the parting cell a particularly bad actor with the necessary chemicals?
It seems to me that, for scrappers at least, we all seem to be avoiding melting stuff down because the yards figure anyone that is melting stuff will embed a big old rock in the melt and rip them off... Kinda like the gold boys in New York who got fooled by someone putting tungsten blocks into the gold bars. How do you deal with this..do you sell to people who do the refining or are you taking the precious metals to .999 yourself?
What about selling the plain old copper? Same problems with getting rid of the cast blocks?
Jon....kinda worried after asking a shztload of dumb questions that would get him tarred and feathered on the gold refining forum!!
