A note to anybody looking at this post - Nitric Acid Can Be Very Dangerous - Proper protective gear is a must ! Osha rated mask , and
proper ventilation are absolutely required . There are numerous methods of melting scrap at home safely Without the use of Nitric Acid,
I would suggest leaving this method to the refiners .
