Do primary language tones effect second language accents?

Hi, just had a thought. Do, for example, Chinese people speaking English apply the tones they use for the Chinese word to the English translation?

I.e. subconsciously speaking the english word with the same or similar intonation as the Chinese equivalent.

Thanks!

Interesting alloys like niello?

Hi, I've been casting bronze for a while now and recently been getting into silverworking as well. I've wanted to try making niello but it looks pretty intense. I was wondering if there are other interesting metal alloys in a similar vein that I could play with making and using before I move to niello?

Note that I'm not asking for a niello substitute but rather other interesting/fun alloys of metal I could make in a crucible.

Thanks!
