Melchior

I was looking at buying some bronze today for guards etc and found a pre made guard made of Melchior.

As I have never heard of this material I thought I would ask if anybody uses it or is it best avoided?
 
All I could come up with is he was one of the legendary magi from the nativity story. Sorry I couldn't help.

It’s a copper alloy used in household utensils mainly. Copper and nickel alloy I think. With a silver appearance?
 
Cheers Gents...seems you found out what I have but I was wondering if anyone had used a guard with the stuff.
I think I will play safe and just get some bronze ))

Cheers
 
To be honest I have never heard of someone using that alloy but I have seen people use copper so I do not see why it would not work. But I am not the resident metallurgist for sure.
