Deficiency may cause anemia, peripheral neuropathy, or damage to parts of the nervous system other than the brain and spinal cord. Good sources include: meats, bananas, whole-grains, vegetables, and nuts.
Most brass will melt at temperatures as low as 1,650ÂºF (900ÂºC), but a higher maximum temperature will give you a margin of error, and make the brass easier to pour. Select a furnace large enough to hold the crucible and brass you intend to melt. Consider the fuel you will be using.
Heat small pieces to the melting point of aluminum, which is 1220 degrees Fahrenheit (660 degrees Celsius). Heat the furnace to a temperature greater than the melting point of aluminum.
