I want to make Solid Copper Rings, using a wax pre-moulding creation process.
New to group but experienced in metal working. I hope I am not overstepping my bounds here. Copper melts at 1980 degrees. You will need a crucible other than metal. I suggest ceramic. Aluminum however melts at 1640. And can be melted in a metal crucible made of angle iron or something steel. Your molds are a different issue. Are you going to sand mold them or lost wax? Hope this helps. As for copper rings why not just copper tubing and sand the edges? If the size is an issue just get heavy gauge copper wire from electrical supply and solder. Can you tell me anything about any Christian roll playing games? I m doing this for my daughter she is young and had a vivid imagination so I thought lets use it..
