[QUOTE="Skimbleshanks, post: 1912564, member: 22552"] I dont want to take us too far down the anealing rabbit hole, but, heating brass changes its physical properties, not its chemical composition. Let us think for a moment, if we put our brass cases in a crucible and over annealed it to the point that it all melted. We then pour that brass into an ingot and let it cool. Is it still brass with all the physical properties of brass or is it now just copper because all the other alloying elements "burned off"? It's still brass. [/QUOTE]
