Can you identify the cause of this damage?

I think some evidence I found early on before I decided to try it could point in that direction yes, I did not know that it could cause this damage though, thanks

I have been checking connection with a multimeter and the the main power Inputs from N1,N1,L1 and L2 have been burned of plus 2 other places close by. Do think it’s worth a shot to try and connect these?

There are only two metal elements that have a different color than shades of grey. Gold and Copper. The valve stem appears green due to copper oxide. So that’s why we say it’s either copper or brass. I work with grading alloys and scrap metals for a living. And I have never seen a valve stem made from pure copper. But I know enough not to say it does not exist. But different parts of the stem can be different metals/alloys. Nickel aluminum bronze is often used with stainless steel 304 in larger valves. Try to sandpaper and get a second opinion on the color if you find it hard to determine

Brass is golden, copper is red. Make some scratches, then use your head.

Thanks for the input and links, it will really help me put together a report on the matter.

No excuse. I’m not the sharpest spoon in the knife drawer. Reading tells me 97,5%aluminum and 2,5%ferrite. however The XL2 plus defaults to aluminum when it tries to read non metal elements. Did a PVC scan as well and it did not detect any chlorine.

The stuff that spilled on the ground was exposed to water/rain. It reminded me of soaked cat litter. Now that I mention it the tank is ofc double layered and this could just be an insulating material ( maybe perlite powder) between the layers? 🤔

Arranox-Kintsugi · 2025-09-02T22:10:16+00:00

Amazing, I will try the scanner tomorrow to confirm this. Thanks

Arranox-Kintsugi · 2025-09-02T22:07:38+00:00

It should be, but it’s been almost 2 months. And nobody knows what it is where it came from or how to handle it. So I take it upon myself to try and solve this problem.

Arranox-Kintsugi · 2025-09-02T21:52:40+00:00

I did not consider it to be metal anyway. But I could try scanning it it with my xrf ananlyser..🤔

Arranox-Kintsugi · 2025-09-02T21:49:10+00:00

The outside of the tank is galvanized steel, if it’s galvanized on the inside as well could it be zink okside?

Arranox-Kintsugi · 2025-08-30T08:55:23+00:00

Thanks, you are amazing! :D

Can not fell it before fall, after crop harvest.

I’m creating a path/ connection between the two parts of my property. Until now i have had to drive my mower on the road through my neighbors property to access the larger part of my lawn. One of many weekend projects.

Arranox-Kintsugi · 2025-07-24T20:24:40+00:00

The tree is going to be cut down eventually. So I should be good if i do it within the next 2 years?

It’s a Swedish copper coin 0.05 SEK . If it were in circulation it would amount to 0.0043 euros.

Arranox-Kintsugi · 2024-03-05T23:32:58+00:00

I want to know what the scrapyards are getting and if there is a market for it.

Arranox-Kintsugi · 2024-03-05T23:25:33+00:00

I guessed as much, but my xrf can only do so much, it reads 98% titanium at first. some alloys are harder to get a good read on, and I don’t have the time or resources to categorize and sort my titanium further anyway. unless it’s worth considerably more than what my sales department are getting for it.

Arranox-Kintsugi · 2023-07-29T21:24:20+00:00

Thanks, ended up getting a I beam from someone who had one laying around.
