other metals Explanation: My understanding: - the company manufactures aluminum, this is their "first" metal, sold as a product by the insolvency procedure with known prices - they do also have like all manufacturing plants a number of ferrous metals: scraps, structures, obsolete machines, etc. This is their "second" metal, usually separated by magnetic attraction, sold as scrap by the weight for insolvency - the rest of the metals (nor aluminum nor ferrous) is their "third" metal, to be valuated differently "tiers" in French is often understood as "the rest": "tiers état": anything other than nobles and clergy, "tiers monde": other than developed and developing countries |

Reference: tiers-métal Reference information: « L'étain est un métal malléable connu depuis l'Antiquité. L'art de ceux que l'on nomme depuis le Moyen-Age les potiers d'étain se répand rapidement en Europe car ce matériau possède la particularité de peu s'oxyder et de ne pas devenir toxique lorsque c'est le cas.

Reference: Tiers métal Reference information: Description de la fabrication de l'aluminium : http://valorlux.lu/fr/aluminium Il faut de la bauxite pour fabriquer de l'aluminium : elle constitue le ''métal tiers" "Tier metal" est le terme utilisé en anglais For instance, many of the metals are of debatable usefulness, but I could simply add more alloying to the tiers so that even if, say, Shadowium has no amazing use in and of itself, it might be required as an alloy of something like Superium, which does http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/guide-metallurgy-met... |
