AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the availability of brass made in the USA, with a claim that 90% of new brass stock is sourced from China. The original poster questions whether any new brass is still produced domestically and explores the role of recycled brass in the market. There is an acknowledgment of a lively recycling market for brass, but uncertainty remains about whether it is more cost-effective to use new brass compared to recycled materials. Participants suggest consulting resources like the Copper Development Association for more information on brass production and recycling practices. The conversation highlights concerns about the quality of recycled brass and the current state of domestic brass manufacturing.

i am a knife collector and in this one knife forum there is some times much talk of made in USA markings...
some one who was not a reg poster said there was very little or no brass made in the usa any longer.. that 90% of new brass stock was from china..
my question then was
is there any new brass made in the usa still?
and what of the recycling..
i thought there was a lively market in that it would be used over a lot..
is this like other metals that it is cheaper to use new rather then recycled?
do any of you have info i can contest his statement with?

There are naturally many scrap recyclers that produce low quality brasses at small scales. I don't know about large scale production though.
 

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
