I'm curious: Are there specific rules to follow when attempting to create an alloy? Will the following be possible?
Titanium Alloy consisting of:
6% Aluminium
4% Vanadium
25% Lead
65% Titanium
Basically, will it be possible to combine the Titanium alloy "Ti6Al4V" with Lead?
Better not to ask what it's for... :sick:
You will probably find that you can't just pick random proportions at a whim.
Certain elements will more readily bond with particular other elements.
So I expect you'll be able to get near to the proportions you choose but not exactly. Some combinations might yield a higher ratio of impurities and render the alloy useless.
I'm no metallurgist (apart from when I've got Ozzy turned up :D).
What is it for?Quote:

I think you should do a difficult combination of equal parts silver, Germanium, andHelium. If it was really difficult (so that you did it without ease), you would end up with pirate silver: ArGH!!

Actually, yes. The melting point of vanadium is 1890 °C, and the boiling point of lead 1740 °C. Throw lead into an already molten mix and it would be like throwing water on a chip-pan fire. Only hotter. Much, much hotter. The result would a toxic sponge.Quote:

At least it'll be shiny. :afrog:Quote:

I am confused as to why you would want to throw lead into stuff since it is like a neurotoxin and stuff.
Is this stuff going to block radiation?
It also blocks radiation. :afrog:

A game where you have to develop new alloys?:cool:Quote:
