aluminum

Can anyone help me, or tell me how do they remove the slag from molten aluminum? Do they use the same procedure as when casting bronze ? And If you add anything before pouring the molten metal into the mold? When I cast bronze I add some borax and some phosphor-copper, and after that pour it into the mold.

This is the first ime I ever worked with aluminum ans an art metal. I used an angle grinded to groove the piece (the first and only time, I have since switched to a pencil grinder - if you don't have one get one).

I'm New Here

Just a note to say "Hi" to everyone. I am new here, but not new to the world of Artist Blacksmithing/Metalsmithing. I will be posting photos of my architectural ironwork as soon as I can better figure out how to download the photos. I am guessing my images may be too large for the file.
