Abstrakt: As some unique examples of nickel-bearing copper objects have been identified in the Early Bronze Age sites of Malatya Arslantepe and Tülintepe, it has been suggested elsewhere that the use of copper-nickel alloys could be the result of independent Anatolian development.[106] Craftspeople exploiting and experimenting local resources, smelting polymetallic ores, and/or co-smelting must have initiated diverse alloys production. Symbolism in 13th-century bc Hittite Metallurgy: The Kastamonu-Kinik (Turkey) Metal Hoard, Again While all Cu-Ni alloys are high-nickel cupronickel, two artifacts containing Cu-Sn-Ni alloys consisted of less than 10% nickel. Several additional examples of Cu-Sn-Ni alloys dating to the Middle and Late Iron Age levels of Bogazköy/ Hattusa further support this argument.[66] Five objects among the Kastamonu-Kinik metals contained cupronickel alloys. Similar to the Cu-Ni binary alloy system, the ternary Cu-Sn-Ni alloys show high strength and corrosion resistance.[72] A recent study investigated the morphology, composition, and microstructure of Cu-Sn-Ni alloys with a fixed percentage of tin, at 5%, and varying amounts of nickel.
