Questions about the forging of a pugio and a balteus
#78
I study chemie, physics etc at school Smile . I have searched for the melting points of the metals and yes, the alloies have all a melting point below that of copper. The difference is not much, often about 50o Celsius.

And Crispus, is it acceptable to use bronze instead of brass for making the hod hill plate?
(aka Niels)
