Can Iron Pyrite (fools Gold) be heat treated? What about Bravoite
(basicially Iron Pyrite with up to 20% Nickel)?


Heat treated in what fashion, the way the harder phase in

No, because Iron sulfide doesn't have the same phase diagram

I wondered about the possibility of making a knife from it. I realize
that you can make an art knife that has a gold color to it, I just
prefer my knives/tools to be functional.
