Yellow Alloy

[darrenhu]

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.

Regards

I presume that looks are all that matter in this case.
There are a couple of very high lead bronzes that might work.
There are also some brasses with less than 60% Cu and small amounts of Mn that have low melting points. C86400 and C86500 are actually rather high strength and commonly used for marine hardware. I have never cast them, but I would expect that you would still need 950C to get good castings. There should be a lot of information on 865 available. Try copper.org

Get in touch with these people as their forte is low temperature alloys. They make a lot of jewelry alloys that may fit you requirements.
