I have made an acquisition today from a local company. - Gorton Mastermil milling machine - One pallet of welding rod - Three Troyke rotary tables 21 inch or so. On the pallet of welding rod, there is an opened 50 pound container without marking. It is clear to me that this is nickel rod, because of a typical dark color. The rod is magnetic. My question is, what kind of home test can I perform to see if this is 55 nickel or 99 nickel. I think that it is 55 nickel, personally. (like "nomacast") i My local scrap yard has a device to identify metals. So make friends with your scrap yard. http://www.niton.com/Metal-and-Alloy...tions/pmi.aspx Dan |
