Making tombak - golden color brass alloy. Wire drawing. officina ferraria 2022-05-31 | I am preparing for a new project, I want to make a replica of the spear from Norway. In the original archaeological find silver, copper, and copper alloy – brass have been used. I was able to buy pure silver and copper but not low zinc brass alloy, so I decided to make it myself. The copper alloy with low zinc content is called tombac (5% to 20% of zinc). The color of tombac is gold-yellow and imitates gold. It is also very good for cold forming, what is important in terms of metal inlay, it is softer than CuZn37 brass.To make tombac I used CuZn37 brass and pure copper. CuZn37 alloy has 63% of copper and 37% of zinc.To make tombac with 15% percent of zinc I have to decrease the amount of zinc in the alloy for this I have to add some extra copper.photos of the spear: twitter.com/VegardVike/status/1008309599802462210/photo/1

Resmelting bloomery iron gromps and making steel. officina ferraria 2021-04-16 | In this video, I show the carburized process of the bloomery iron gromps in a small furnace. Iron gromps are small outer parts of the iron bloom highly contaminated by the slag. I used 2.5 kg of iron gromps and 10 kg of charcoal and got 0.8 kg of high carbon steel. The high carbon material I got I will use in my next project.Tips:The diameter of the furnace is about 15 cm. To built it I used bricks and clay mixed with sand. In this experiment, I used bloomery iron gromps but ordinary soft iron also can be used (nails, scraps etc.) The temperature during the process should be enough to smelt iron. It is good to add at the first charge some pieces of slag, slag protect the bloom against burning (oxidation). For making steel do not use phosphorus iron. I use about 400 grams of charcoal for every 100 grams of the charge. The iron pieces should be small.
