Copper in our tools
Copper is a metal that can be shaped into different forms or thin wires without breaking. When mixed with a small amount of other metals, it gets harder but still keeps some of its useful properties.
Brass: Brass is a tough metal made from 95% copper and 5% zinc. This is made by mixing copper with zinc. It is yellow, more flexible than pure copper, and stronger. It is used for parts of the Pegasus Pick and the Hydra Swing Hoe.
Bronze: Bronze is also a tough metal made from 88% copper and 12% tin. Made by mixing copper with tin. It is much harder than pure copper and is more orange in color. It is used for the blades of all tools. The Nunki Weeder, made of bronze, is 95% copper and gets its sharpness and color from the added tin. The Maia dibber, made of pure copper, is pinkish.
Iron and copper are two metals used for making garden tools, but they’re used differently. Iron becomes strong when it’s heated up and hammered into shape in a forge. This process, called heat-hardening, makes iron tools tough and long-lasting. Copper and its mixtures get weaker when they are heated, so they are shaped when they’re cold to keep them strong. You can see marks from the hammer on tools like spades.
When iron burns, it gives off a red or orange color. When copper burns, it makes a blue or green color. Iron is magnets, so it’s used in things like magnets. Copper lets electricity go through it, so it’s used for making wires and electrical parts.
Iron can rust easily when it’s exposed to air, so it has to be made from ores in a process called smelting. But metals like copper, silver, and gold are naturally found in pure form underground, without needing to be smelting.
