Aluminium Casting
Are there any fellow eco-modders out there that have experience with DIY / Home Brew aluminium casting? There are projects I want to work on, but it requires custom/one off housings and brackets.
I have some metallurgical experience from an iron foundry along with pattern layouts for the sprues and risers. Also involved with projects on the refractories relining, and sand testing for casting quality. But it was all ductile iron and aluminium. I did have a chance for Brass/Aluminium metal casting in a high school metal shop but my project did not utilize the furnace. I'm only looking at a few cubic inches of cast aluminium so I wouldn't be near more than a small crucible (1 liter-ish to half gallon-ish).
If anyone has any tips, directions, other DIY sites I would love the info!
