OK guys here is a little recipe i got from work and figured it would possibly help y'all out. its called nialite. its, copper ideal 81%, nickle 4.5%, iron 4%, aluminum 9%, and manganese 1%. this is as y'all probably guessed by weight. its got VERY good corrosion resistance and is strong and durable and will last a long time. normal melting and pouring temps are between 2050 deg f. and 2240-2250. so all y'all waste oil people have no fear.
ps. forgot to say it has a very very nice golden color

Re: nialite
Thats interesting that it has quite a lot of aluminum in there. Sounds like a great alloy and the nice golden color should be great for plaques and coins.
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints the sinners are much more fun...
