You know what goes great with copper? Tin! Combining copper and tin brought about the Bronze Age and later gave us pewter. Today's lead-free solders contain mostly tin with a bit of copper and/or other metals.

Looking for some copper machinery related inspiration, or anything that looks very pretty when oxidized

Hey guys, im working on a personal project and want to get some inspiration for some copper related machinery

I was wondering if there may be some recommendations of machinery / works of art
that I may base my copper 3D project off of.

The theme is specifically oxidizing copper

Thank you

Copper identification

I have a few transformers that I've pulled out of a few microwaves. The windings look like copper, but when I take sand paper to it, it looks silvery. Are these windings copper or something else?

Edit: it's actually one transformer and two electromagnets.
