"Try melting a piece of it? Steel and Al have very different melting temps."
Steel would be easy. He's trying to tell aluminum from magnesium.

Re: detection of alluminium
There acid to test types metal
I never worry about it unless I am? welding or foundry work.
Stainless is a different story because you know if 400 type and if a magnet sticks then 400 most machines

Re: detection of alluminium
I don't have one of these tabletops, but I had a thought. A cell phone has
a polarizing filter. Would that also show the effect?

Re: detection of alluminium
It isn't absolutely necessary to use two polarizers, if you have a pair of polarizing sunglasses.? Indirect light from the sky on a clear day is partially polarized, so just put them on and look at

Re: detection of alluminium
Aluminum will react with a strong base, ferrous metals won't. Probably the easiest to obtain is a drain cleaner; the kind you want will contain either sodium or potassium hydroxide. You'll probably

Re: detection of alluminium
If you have concentrated nitric acid, that won't harm aluminum but will
attack most other metals, including magnesium. Also, shaving of magnesium
will burn brilliantly. (That's how they made

Re: detection of alluminium
There are some chemical ways to test aluminum but require strong chemicals.? Calculating the density is a much safer way to go.

Re: detection of alluminium
I assume by from a picnic table you mean it is a frame or part of a frame.
If it looks like a cast part, then if it is magnetic, it is not aluminum.
If it isn't magnetic, it could be aluminum or

Not sure if it is a shape you could figure out its volume. If it is you could weigh it and see if that is the correct for that volume of material. Paul M

Re: Large work holding
It's not just the lower melting temperature; the cadmium makes the liquid flow better.

Re: Brazing (was: Re: Large work holding)
I used sil-phos in refrigeration. Doesn't need flux, prepping is minimal, stands up to relatively high pressures; Needs higher temps though.

Re: Turning Brass on 7x16?
I've turned brass fitting many times on the LMS 5100.? ?Never went to specific bit geometries - just used the indexable carbides from low-priced sets or other chinese turning tools.
