Brass Cathode

[andrewmccoy38]

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I’m looking at building my first silver cell and was curious, instead of a graphite block or stainless bowl, can brass be used as the cathode? I’ve been trying to do research on the topic but cannot find any information.

Thanks

why would you want to do that? you can't afford the $20 ss bowl? zinc (one of the elements of the brass alloy) is HIGHLY REACTIVE on the reactivity series of metals, and will not like being in your electrolyte.
