Other than dilution with clean copper. or full scale oxidation refineing is there a system availble that enables the drop in lead% some loss in zinc o.k. from say 6.5% to 7.5% to a target of 5% for the production of 85-5-5-5 ?
i.e. would a Phosphate or silica based with a oxidiser--as a fluxing system exist and is used in practice?
