casting aluminum parts ??

Anyone have any experience with this?

 

Stuff like pewter, tin, lead = easy (low melting point)

 

 

Are there any local companies that will take your mold and throw some aluminum in there?

Any possibilities or experience, here?

I know they make home setups to do it, but i'm not terribly interested in that

 

 

i anticipate hearing that it's ridiculously expensive, but i'm curious

 

 

lead, pewter..etc....melt around 500 or 600 degrees, i think

you can do that stuff on your stovetop

 

Aluminum around 1200...which makes it more suitable for engine apps

 

I wouldn't mind playing with some brackets and making small, custom parts

nothing too complicated - mostly flat stuff
