I am looking for an alloy similar to brass but with a lower melting point.
My kiln only reachs 1000oc and does not make the brass liquid, I need to brass to be liquid at 900oc or lower and with a light brass colour.

I've got a Graphite crucible and the tongs to remove and pour, I am getting some firebricks tomorrow to build the kiln and next month I am going to buy a proper kiln.
My boss has given me a plaster paris (gypsum) mould and said the brass (around 850oc) would be able to cast in that but I am a...
Thanks.
My be a stupid question but I'll ask anyway, am I wasting my time by trying to melt the copper with a blow torch?
I have a small amount of copper scrap (very small pieces) and I want to melt the copper down but cannot afford a kiln/furnace and only have a propane blow torch and I have...
Sorry I worded that wrong.
With the melting point of copper being 1083 and zinc having a boiling point of 907, I wanted to know the best way to melt the 2 together to form an alloy.
