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.
Alloy additions also suppress (lower) the melting range. Pure iron (Fe) has a fixed melting point of 1535Â°C, chromium (Cr) 1890Â°C and nickel (Ni) 1453Â°C compared to a range of 1400-1450 Â°C for type 304 stainless steel.
