What brass is considered to be the strongest and best for these mortar and cannon barrels you guys make. All this talk about golf ball mortars is firing up my interest. It sounds like a blast. (pun absolutely intended)
Gunmetal, also known as red brass in the United States,[1] is a type of bronze ”“ an alloy of copper, tin, and zinc.[2] Originally used chiefly for making guns, gunmetal was eventually superseded by steel. Gunmetal casts and machines well and is resistant to corrosion from steam and salt water,[3] and is used to make steam and hydraulic castings, valves, and gears, and also statues and various small objects, e.g. buttons. It has a tensile strength of 221 to 310 MPa, a specific gravity of 8.7, a density 8,719 kg/m3, and a Brinell hardness of 65 to 74.

Either one could make one a bit cantankerous but when both happen at the same time to the same person, is it any wonder that he is a bit testy? :rotf: The devil made me say that. :haha: I hope Ol' Clay will forgive me. :bow:
