first success at bronze about 89%copper 11%aluminum made little over 2lbs1yr ⋅ DMTGamer13 ⋅ r/Metalfoundry
First time making bronze. 83% copper, 17% aluminum. Both came from the same pour. Filled the first mold with the big one and poured the small one into the second mold seconds later. Not 100% certain why they came out so very different. One looks like 18k gold while the other broke when dropped.1yr ⋅ water_bottle1776 ⋅ r/Metalfoundry

This keeps happening every time I try and create a silver bar. I'm using a graphite mold, and I've even tried heating the mold itself inside the forge.
