whatta car!!! WoW! . before its time. . sound
Must Be Fine!!! -- j

p.s. styled like the current corvette!

but, if I might, I marvel at the infinite possibilities
in alloyed metals. . has a computer program ever
been invented to try to predict the characteristics
of alloys which have yet to be tried in a crucible??? -- j

mine is an 83, and the original engine ran for about
a quarter-million miles before #4 exhaust valve lost
its head in the top of the cylinder. . that engine would
spin its turbo up to a crescendo and pull the car like
a rocket engine. . put an 84 engine in to replace it,
and it's a wimp -- even with its turbocharger. . now,
she's out in the driveway resting, next to the 2006
baja turbo, another special machine. -- j

As Master Yoda once said, "Hmm. Unlearn what you have learned, you must."

I ran that car for everything -- commuting to work, carrying
the kilowatt DJ system {as far away as 700 miles],
dating, everything -- for less than $200 per month
including gas and oil and insurance. . whatta car!!! -- j

OK, doc;;; I'm just supposing my way into thorough
proof that my training was not primarily metallurgy!!! -- j

Thanks! . I ran a saab 900 turbo for years, thinking
that its 2 liter engine was a bit like a formula one.
well, what an F1 used to be. -- j

You can (supposedly) do it with a welder or a hot torch. 'Silver soldier' the brass and copper pieces together; heat the whole block; quench it in water (which anneals non-ferrous). Then you get to try to twist the whole piece, re-anneal, hammer flat, etc.

I can see it in my brain, but I suspect that there is a huge gap between what I imagine and reality.

Iron oxide and copper sulfate are ionic crystalline solids, but are not interstitial solids.

We watch movies in the evening with the kids, but when I started crying every night watching the news, I was done. I would like to unplug completely but until the little one starts reading, kinda stuck with it. Just 1 more year!

I wonder what F1 is, JT. -- j

Thanks, Neal;;; that's fascinating! -- j

like iron oxide? . copper sulfate? . varying that ratio
might create some interesting crystal changes, then,
I bet!!! -- j

let's see ... oven soldering with no oxygen in the
oven. . . . how can we do this??? -- j

Nice images. I have seen some lovely work. Any moment I get a 'round tuit', I will try playing with it. From what I gather, the easiest way to start is to silver solder thin sheets of brass and copper together; anneal; twist; pound flat...

I expect a disaster on first try, but it is worth a shot.

Roger Ailes said in an interview - The problem with Rachel Maddow and MSNBC:
"They have to decide what they are. I don't think they even view it as television. They view it as a place to express their views, which happen to be all the same view. And so you've got one topic and 12 people [with the same opinion], and it's just boring."

Covalent materials are normally crystalline, too.

see? . said that I was ignorant, 2 minutes ago!!! -- j

covalent = compound;
metallic = crystal,
right? -- j

in case anyone is as ignorant as I am:::

I had never heard of mokume-gane, Jan! . lovely
stuff; reminds me of damascus steel, except it's
much prettier!!! -- j

msNBC and Puffington Host, don't report news, they only report what FOX news is doing. Their entire audiences focus is Fox News bashing story's
