Tin in raw form has been challenging to find, although I think I tracked down a supplier for small quantities. I have had no luck whatsoever finding elemental silicon in sufficient quantity at a reasonable cost. I did read some interesting articles on properties of aluminum bronze, and have tried a couple of tests there, (see below) and have a good supply of clean/pure copper in cable form that's easy to chop up to size for the (A6 graphite/clay) crucible I'm using. The furnace is propane fired.</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/blog/grinch/2007/10/aluminum_bronze">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/blog/grinch/2007/10/aluminum_bronze#comment alloys Bronzes Mon, 01 Oct 2007 22:34:01 -0500 grinch 4162 at http://www.artmetal.com
