Today Ill make a Big Copper and Aluminium Alloy Ingot today better known as Aluminium Bronze. 90% copper & 10% Aluminium by weight. I mix these at the same time as the pool of molten aluminium at the bottom of the crucible will dramatically lower the coppers melting point. These 2 metals combined melt around the 1030 degree Celsius mark. i will normally go 50-75 degrees hotter so as to give a nice smooth pour.


I have a PO box address below incase anyone wants to send a letter or anything 😬👍🏻.
