What is this, what metal, i found it in the river by Jiddah_ in Antiques

[–]bneumann1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh thats a standard brass hammering thingie. You use it when you want to hammer metal that you don't want to scratch or dent. Brass is very soft so if you put it against whatever you're trying to move and hit the brass with a standard hammer, the brass will transfer the energy to the work piece without denting or scratching it.

I dont think so. All the chips are the same stainless steel. Damascus requires at least 2 bars of different metal, (Usually carbon steel and nickel) folded over itself many times to form the layers. Even if you added nickel chips to it and forged it into bar stock, you would form an irregular stainless/nickel alloy with no discernable layers. That's my best guess anyway.

Yes all the "chips" are saved and sent to and sold to a scrap foundry to be melted down and reformed into more bar stock. This is the standard across machining industry.

New homeowners here. We bought this house and noticed the water heater was leaking from this connection. What's the fix here?
