Can they be reloaded with standard equipment?

galvanic corrosion.

Brass cases aren't exactly expensive to start with, especially if you factor in reloadability.
The next big thing will be reliable caseless ammo. Until that, traditional cases stay in use.

Pick one

>>32242964
How about i pick none faggot. I quit this shit.

>>32242900
The material properties of brass make it better than steel for case walls

>>32242935
Not really a problem, steel and aluminum are very close to one another in the galvanic series, plus everything is coated in aluminum

Looks like it can't be reloaded with "conventional" decapping+resizing dies because the stainless steel sleeve will dislodge from the aluminium case head. Just fucking great. Similar strain happens in every blowback and (in lesser extent) delayed blowback firearm in existence.

Also "less abrasive than brass". You know what that coarse shit on sand paper is made of? Aluminium oxide. You know what forms on all aluminium surfaces naturally? Aluminium oxide. Fucking geniuses (or is it geniusi?). Also I don't see too many self lubricating bushings made out of aluminium in the heavy (or any) industry.

You're right about the strain, but the less abrasive than brass probably comes from the nickel coating. Same reason a lot of revolver shooters uses nickle plated brass, because it has lower friction coefficient and is easier to remove from the cylinder

I don't know if I've ever seen a faggot fuck off like that before..

good job anon

While it is possible for you to be more wrong, it's quite difficult.

Steel and aluminum are not galvanically compatible. Like, at all.

Yeah, no. While stainless steels are really bad to be paired with aluminum, mild steels are very close to Al on the series (pic related). Generally a difference in values of .2V are considered compatible in seawater, so in the absence of seawater, that number becomes bigger. Aluminum and mild steel can easily be within that range.

Now look at the steel and aluminum alloys you'd actually use for this application. Then look them up on a galvanic series chart with proper detailed values that isn't the first result on Google. You will discover none of the alloys you'd actually want to use are within .3 V of each other.

>>32242900
brass 9mm is 20c/rd. when that comes to that price point ill give it a whirl

>>32244556
I am, looking at both engineers edge and dfw machine, any type of aluminum is between .75V and .95V and plain carbon and low alloy steels which is what would be used in cases are .85V. Not to mention that everything is coated in Ni and if the aluminum is ever exposed, alumina is going to be instantly formed.

Only cheaper if you reload necked ammo because they will last longer.

In theory.
