Metal recycling will be a thing for multiple years after that war! So many brass laying and hulk of steel. We will see shipload of them if they cannot melt them in ingot at new plant in Mariupol, not sure the old ones are still usable.

How many time an artillery casing can be refurnished ? Someone know ?

Due to lack of brass domestically China developed brass plated steel cases for semi-fixed ammo, I believe this is unique in the world for artillery rounds. In PLA hands each case can be used 4 times before they are scrapped.

Mysteriously this technology started showing up in Russian ammo too in recent years, if you know what I mean.

Do you really need to plate brass an artillery shell? Steel should do fine.

Doesn't brass lead to better seal and increase chamber pressure?

Anyway that's all I remember from the big lesson Shilao and Yankee did on last Tuesday on PLA artillery over the years. It was on of those Guancha live stream that you can only rewatch if you're a member. They too were wondering what Russia traded with to get access to that technology from China.
