Is there a difference in material and price between a solid copper casket and a copper deposit casket?
Yes, there is a difference, and it's a big one. Solid copper caskets are made from sheets of wrought copper which usually have a weight of 32 ounces per square foot (standard caskets) or 48 oz, in rare cases even 64 oz or more. The typical weight of a sheet copper casket is between 200 and 300 lbs. 32 oz solid copper caskets are available from $ 2,000 upwards (Online casket retailers). Copper deposit caskets are produced in a time consuming process in which molecules of copper are deposited upon a casket form (usually made of 48oz copper sheets). Copper deposit caskets weigh between 600 and 800 lbs because the typical thickness of their walls is about 1/8 of an inch (3 mm). The cost of copper deposit casket is so high that they were manufactured until the 1980s only (by the Boyertown Burial Casket Co. and by the National Casket Company of Boston). At that time, a copper deposit casket was about a dozen times more expensive than a standard 32oz solid copper casket. The optional silver plating of the exterior would add another 25% to the cost of the casket. This price was exceeded only by cast bronze caskets (weighing between 1,000 and 1,200 lbs), which in the 1970s were about three times more expensive than copper deposit caskets. As mentioned, copper deposit caskets are no longer in production. The closest modern equivalent probably would be the 300 lbs heavy 48oz thermo-deposited bronze casket called "Marquis", manufactured by the York-Hoover Company; the casket costs about ten times the price of a standard 32 oz bronze coffin. The most famous copper deposit caskets were made by the National Casket Company. These copper deposit caskets had no joints or welding seams nor did the attachments of the handles penetrate the casket walls. National seamless copper deposit casket were used for the funerals of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (# 21260 bronze plated), William Randolph Hearst (# 21200 as triple lid inner glass sealer), Elijah Muhammad (silver plated model # 21200 as glassless double lid sealer) Elvis Presley (# 21200) and Aaliyah Haughton (# 20761 ornamental corner design, silver plated). The Boyertown Burial Casket Company manufactured several copper deposit designs, for example a copper deposited bronze casket (model # 2471) which had a complete solid bronze inner casket inside of it. The casket had a triple lid (outer and middle metal lids and an inner glass lid); the weight was probably around 700 lbs.
Is there a difference between a solid bronze and a bronze deposit casket?
Yes, there is a difference, but is less important than the difference between solid (sheet) bronze and cast bronze caskets. Solid bronze caskets are welded from sheets of wrought bronze. Bronze deposit caskets too, but they have an additional coat of bronze which is applied by an electrolytic (or similar) process to a base made of sheet bronze. This increases the thickness of the bronze walls and guarantees a smooth surface.
Whats bronze made of?
Bronze is an alloy (metallic mixture) of about 60% Copper, a lot of Tin and some (or less) Zn, Pb, Ni
Why did they make the gold as money before why not mercury copper silver platinum iron bronze or etc?
Gold was made before copper, silver and bronze. Making gold was easier and took a lot less time.
Why do you use copper for electrial wiring?
Because the price of silver would shock you and copper is much less expensive.
Can you use brillyan copper in plastic moulds for heat resitance?
The price is less expensive and plasticity. Copper is affordable.
What two creation was created around 3500bce?
A:3500 BCE more or less marks the beginning of the Bronze Age. Copper was being created, and then bronze. This in turn led to the creation of bronze tools and weapons.
How are copper and bronze similar?
No. Copper is a pure metallic element. Bronze is an alloy (an alloy is a mixture of two or more elements) of Copper usually with Tin as the main additive, but sometimes with other elements such as phosphorus, manganese, aluminum, or silicon. Bronze is harder and less malleable than pure metallic copper.
How much does a funeral cost?
The cost of a funeral will depend on what type of service you want, i.e. cremation or standard casket funeral. Cremation of course is less expensive due to not have to pay the price of a Casket which can run upward of $5000 or more. Total cost of Standard Casket Fueneral $8000 or more.
Is bronze worth more than gold?
No, bronze is typically worth less than gold. Gold is a precious metal with higher market value and is more sought after for jewelry and investment purposes. Bronze is an alloy that is made by mixing copper with tin or other metals.
Is bronz an element compound mixture?
yes, 9CuSn ( 9 coppers, and one tin ) - - - - - Bronze is a mixture of copper and tin, but there are several formulas for it. Most of the products made from bronze today are cymbals for drummers, and every cymbal company makes their bronze differently. You can tell the percentage of tin in a cymbal by looking at the number on the metal. Expensive cymbals are made from bell bronze, which is 20 percent tin, or B20. Bell bronze has more tin in it than will bond chemically to the copper, so there are free tin molecules dispersed throughout the metal. These cymbals are made by casting the metal into a mold, then turning it on a lathe and hammering it by hand to finish the instrument. There is also a "malleable bronze" that contains 8 percent tin, or B8. This metal can be rolled into sheets and stamped on a hydraulic press, which makes the cymbal less expensive to make and to buy. In addition to copper and tin, some cymbals contain silver or gold. These metals change the sound of the cymbal, creating a pitch that appeals to different players.
Out of silver copper and gold which is the best for electrical wires?
Copper is the best material for electrical wires due to its high electrical conductivity and low resistance, which allows for efficient transmission of electricity. Silver is slightly more conductive than copper but is much more expensive, while gold, while highly conductive, is even more expensive and less practical for everyday use.
