A Smelting Accident?

In the furnace you see a small iron lockbox (open) (x101), a plain ash lockbox (open), an exquisite copper sledgehammer head, a well-crafted copper sledgehammer head (x2), an average copper sledgehammer head, a square bronze box (open), a rectangular bronze box (open), a simple bronze strongbox (open), a nicked cedar strongbox (open), a sturdy steel chest (open), a copper-bar and a square copper box (open).

You pull a bellows, causing a bright flame to leap up beneath a furnace.

A furnace has cooled off.

In the furnace you see a hefty copper-bar.

Is this supposed to happen?

It looks like it turned all the copper into a giant copper bar and just obliterated the remaining junk.

Lockboxes used to melt down into bars.

The true oddity is that it should have ended up as a huge lump of slag. It's not good to melt down a bunch of different materials all at the same time, unless they're in the proper ratio to create an alloy.

What's the ratio for any alloy anyhow?

There's a sign (or something similar) in there that you can read for info on alloys.
