The following forms a fusible malleable metal, easily worked by a silversmith, resisting oxidation, and capable of being soldered:-720 parts copper, 125 nickel, 10 bismuth, 90 zinc, 20 soft iron, 20 tin.

Sauvage has introduced the following alloy:-58 copper, 27 zinc, 12 nickel, 2 tin; 0.5 alumina, 0.5 bismuth; the ingredients are fused separately, mixed, and the whole is run down into a homogeneous mass, which is silvery, sonorous, malleable, ductile, tenacious, polishes well, and does not tarnish.

As a silvery-looking alloy, Parker recommends 70 copper, 30 manganese, 20 to 35 zinc, or, if not needing to be subjected to high temperature, 49 copper, 21 manganese, 5 to 10 iron, 5 to 10 zinc. The solder used for it contains 7 copper, 3 manganese, 1 to 2 silver.
