New find today. At least for me.

I had seperated my stick on weight weights from the clip on's and also seperate the 3 or so that were marked with a "Z" for Zinc.

I cast the stick on's into different ingots because It is my understanding that the Stick ons are fairly close to pure lead.

I noticed I had several(10-15) stick-on wheel weights floating on top.

I cast at 700-725 degrees to keep a stray ZINC one from being melted.

I pulled the floaters out and when they cooled I noticed that they were maked "FE"

AS I have a limit knowledge of Metal designation markings, so I checked the Internet and could only find that FE stood for iron.

Right or Wrong

And the next question is:

" When did they start making stick on wheel weights out of IRON?

The chemical symbol for iron is "Fe".

If the weight isn't too much, iron can easily be used, if you don't mind the rust when the coating gets scratched.
