Aluminum Bronze?
Darren:
BP1 is sorts brownish/blackish....? lovely to machine.
The aluminim bronze I have seen is very light yellow....quite light in colour.
Ordinary free machining brass CZ121? is yellow.
Confusing I know, maybe you should buy a small piece and take it home to test?

Ok, so I tried to write a little on this thread yesterday..... But my computer is in the twighlight zone recently and is getting ever more annoying! :hammer:
So basically what I wrote was a little something like this.........
I have made only one thing from ali-bronze, a torch.
It was made from the same stock as Darrens gibs ( :thumbup: ) all very easy to machine until I came to thread it using tap/die..... It then got really hard to work and almost got launched across the room! ::)
Still, I managed in the end and it polishes up loverly (pic' in the brass torches thread) made for a friends little sis's 21th birthday, she likes the bling!! :thumbup:
Strange about the magnetic quality... It almost feels like it's a brass bar with an iron core, not quite enough attraction to keep the magnet interested :scratch: :)
Just my 2p worth,but remember it might not "bite" until you are almost finished!! :doh:
But I'd still buy a bit and have a go :ddb:

I carry a small triangular file with me when I go scrappin'. If the file says "NO" I listen and move on. :dremel:
