<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2714050, member: 15199"]Its the HOT Rollers I am considering. There must be an excellent reason that they are kept hot, and how hot in regards to the components melting points. Outside of this discussion, I would think that the heat was to maintain the homogeneity of the mix as it was moved through the reducing stages. So could the wood grain be effects from "cold" rollers, where the metal formed into distinct clumps. since coin metals that aren't purposely layered ( such as zincolns)are bound by "metallic bonds", they do not tend, to form aggregates "grains" unless they are not cooled properly. Those that have silver soldered know very well the granulation that can form if the heat cycle is not correct. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
