Making a Bronze Bowl - DIY Metal-Casting

I melted down silicon bronze and made a bowl out of it! Blog post at: https://300mpg.org/2024/01/22/bronze-... Please click SHOW MORE! Lately, I've been trying my hand at some hobbyist metal-casting. I created a few projects in brass and then switched over to bronze. (Brass has Zinc, which easily boils off into Zinc fumes! Something I don't want to breath!) I tried making a copy of a small bowl my wife has. I used it to create a sand-mold, then melted copper and silicon together in my #vevor forge. I then poured the metal into mold. While it took two tries, I had a pretty good copy. I ground off the flashing and polished up the interior. I finished the outside of the bowl by heating it and brushing on Liver of Sulfur. That is an oxidizer which turns the bronze a dark gray. Then I polished back the highlights with 0000 steel wool.

This was a mix of 95% recycled/scrap Copper and 5% elemental Silicon. The sand I used for casting is playground sand, sifted, mixed with about 10% crushed clay kitty litter and just enough water to make it stick together.
