Joe ST he/him Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Here's a list of the metals and their alloys, (with the constituent parts in brackets, taken from wikipedia in all but pewter's case, which was mentioned in MB1 and duralium mentioned in MB2) aluminium | duralium (4% copper) cadmium | bendalloy/cerobend/wood's metal (50% bismuth, 26.7% lead, 13.3% tin chromium | nicrosil (85.1% nickel, 1.4% silicon, 0.1% magnesium) copper | bronze (12% tin OR 10% zinc OR 3% lead, 40% zinc OR 30% nickel, 12% zinc, 5% lead, 1% bismuth) gold | electrum (silver, traces of platinum, copper etc.) iron | steel (carbon) tin | pewter (9% lead) zinc | brass (copper) Other than that (copper, gold) and (zinc, cadmium) are on the same columns in the periodic table. The alloying elements are bismuth carbon copper lead magnesium nickel platinum silicon silver tin zinc Anyone see patterns? XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morderkaine he/him Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) I don't have my books on me right now so I can't check but I'm sure WoA says duralumin is 96% aluminum and 4% copper. Edited April 1, 2011 by Morderkaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOM1else he/him Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yeah Duralumin is Aluminum with 4% copper, But I think Sanderson said that there's no reason that the metals do what they do, remember how Tin used to be silver but that got changed.
