Whatever happened to the concept of comparing like materials! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
I suspect steel is both stronger AND tougher than brass. But I'm no metallurgist. So I really don't know that for a fact.
We were not having success with that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> If you go to the link in one of my earlier posts that will take you to a materials engineering site with a big graph on the page - hover your mouse over metals and alloys - you will see that brass is on the tougher side of the graph (further to the right than stainless steels) and steels are on the higher side for greater strength (stronger than brass). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
