What is yalls favorite bronze alloy to cast your sculptures with? I have been reading about C873 Everdure. It looks like it may be a good candidate. I was also curious to see if any of you have ever tried to make it. I have a ample supply of good quality copper manganese and silicon. I pick our metallurgist head about it and he said he didn’t know if I would be able to get it hot enough to really get it mixed. He explained that even though I can get the bronze molting, it may not be hot enough to actually make it. I cant remember all the big words he used but basically melting it and getting it to mix / bond together is not the same thing. It looks like I could make it for about 4 dollars a pound of so. Do any of you know how hot it would need to get? Im thinking I have about talked myself into just buying the alloy.
