metal bullion

[kaloy]

help: need infos on this metal.

 

[hunterV3]

From the picture it appears to be cast brass. Any info about it?

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Why do you think its bullion? The round opening is probably where a shaft protruded. Can you give us more information such as where you found it, the size and some more pics including pic(s) of the back?

Can't tell size. Looks like one lobe from a crankshaft, or something similar.

looks like a counter balance - cam
been wacked a few times by a mower
the small divets look like the were made to balance the cam / counter weight

Is that a zero grout line tile floor? Carpet or pot holder? If those are large floor tiles, that would make a large cam. We just cant tell the size of the item but my guess its smaller than a Volkswagon.

But is it bigger than a bread box?

BCH, I think it's sitting on a woven chair bottom. If it's a pot holder, remind not to eat dinner there! LOL Breezie

those marks look like cutting torch marks

Smaller than a bread box is my guess.

almost 12 inches in length 4 inches thick. weighing almost a hundred kilos. very hard and heat resistant(cnt be cut by acetylene torch).

 

[hunterV3]

If it is that big, heavy and hard, what about a tooth for a car/metal shredder? Or something for breaking up rock? Just a guess.

OMG can we see some more pics? Front and back at least is standard procedure. Where did you find it? This is kinda like pulling teeth. Are you from the Phillipines? Please read: http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,259110.0.html

Wisdom or at least "I" teeth.

T W - Tiger woods putter ?

[bradyboy]

The fact that theirs small negative drill holes tells me the holes were put there to balance the counter weight
they would spin the weight, look for a wobble and take a little metal out to balance

Super hard and tough, eh? Look for "Made with pride by Klingons". Or the Union Label.

At 100 kg. that would be over 200 lbs. That much metal is too much for mere humans to handle.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I think its sitting on the floor.

A 200 pound crankshaft lobe?

When you get around to the pics, we could use a side view as well.

Am I right about the Philippines? Honestly I didnt even look at your profile until now. It seems that large unidentified metal bullion that cannot be cut with a torch always seem to originate from the Philippines. Also a post asking for ID with little information and not enough pictures is also typical.

There was a post about Tungston found. They say it wouldnt melt with a torch. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,140811.0.html

There was also an old post about "Platinum" but I identified it as a high grade Stainless Steel. I remember it had a similar logo and I wanted to compare but the post has been removed unfortunately.

Tungsten?


Properties of Tungsten


Background Information
The word tungsten means "heavy stone" in Swedish. The chemical symbol for tungsten is W which stands for wolfram. The name came from medieval German smelters who found that tin ores containing tungsten had a much lower yield. It was said that the tungsten devoured the tin "like a wolf". Pure tungsten metal was first isolated by two Spanish chemists, the de Elhujar brothers in 1783. Tungsten is a greyish-white lustrous metal, which is a solid at room temperature. Tungsten has the highest melting point and lowest vapor pressure of all metals, and at temperatures over 1650°C has the highest tensile strength. It has excellent corrosion resistance and is attacked only slightly by most mineral acids.
