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.
Wood's metal has a slightly higher melting point (near 160F/70C) and is less expensive, but it contains lead. Aluminum melts at about 1221 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a heck of a lot hotter than MY oven goes. My guess is you need special equipment both to melt metals and to handle them afterward. I wouldn't try it at home.
