hm..why not use a press cutter to cut up the meal..instead of useign a hammer..

[JimButter10]

its not as toxic as lead but its a bit more radioactive

[XXSongohan]

@JimButter10 radioactivity is a measure of if it decays into other elements..

Using a harder metal to score the block of bismuth would make it a lot easier to break and a lot more accurate as it would fracture down the score.

[lerpman1990]

how much does one ingot way so i can put that number in so i can get some good looking metal and not something you beat with a hammer

Energy and resources to make method safe.

To melt it would be considerably less efficient overall.

There is also no advantage in producing uniform chunks as the customer will have to break it up anyway.

@princesscool

If you are aware of method of forming regular bismuth pieces that is less wasteful you could do the world a tremendous service.

Calories required for man to whack it with hammer. Energy and resources used to produce the food he eats to get those calories. Stainless steel used to make hammer. Energy and resources used to make hammer. Energy and resources used to bring man, hammer and lump of Bismuth to the same location. Unwanted byproducts produced by this method. Energy and re

bismuth decays at such a slow speed that its half life is more than a billion times the estimated age of the universe and its only alpha decay so it wont hurt you at all, the home you live in is most likely more radioactive than the bismuth.

[princesscool69]

geez lazy much. why wouldnt you just melt it down that way thers no wastage and you get and exact amount and only one piece rather than a whole pile of little pieces

[Rotometals]

@princesscool69 Well, Every time to melt it down you lower the purity, 99% vers 99.99 then you just get more impurities mixed in,

[scifiguy32]

@Rotometals awww but impurities =color

[princesscool69]

@Rotometals so even if you used the same smeltin apparatus to do all the steps neccesary it still would lower it? also how by what percentage would this affect it?

[iSt4rThrower]

i've researched on bismuth, am i at risk if i am to ingest such substance? ive heard this is radioactive but i think i will be fine you seem to know a lot about metals can you recommend me doing such?

[EnhanceTheTruth]

@iSt4rThrower Why would you want to eat it anyway? It is slightly radioactive, but not enough to harm you really. But some things you eat have bismuth in it. Like peptobismal for example. The "bismal" is from bismuth. But it's not really the same as this bismuth here. It's like how potassium normally is highly explosive, but not in bananas. They're different isotopes.

Long story short, it's radioactive but not really harmful. But I still don't see any reason to eat it.

[iSt4rThrower]

@EnhanceTheTruth LOL i was kidding why would u eat pure metal anyway rofl

[solosparten]

i think amazon sells it cheaper

I got mine in the mail today. Looks great!

looks like silicium :D
