- In this video I will be sand casting an aluminum bronze dagger using a 3d printed pattern. The file used for the 3d printed pattern can be found here www.myminifact...

Nice work, Aluminium bronze can be be quite challenging to cast. I am wondering if you did a vertical cast of that dagger if the shrinkage can be avoided
Agree, this application would respond better with vertical cast.
I love aluminium bronze. It's the first alloy that I made myself. It is super hard and takes a magnificent polish. Also, different component ratios have different colours.
My hacksaw and files just skate across aluminum bronze. I have to use abrasive wheels to cut that stuff. Good looking blade! Oh and I finally subbed ;-)
swdweeb That’s what I experienced as well. It’s very strange to file and cut. Glad you enjoyed it!
Redditors can suck it for generalizing bronze then.
46 year machinist here, you need a new file and hack saw blade. No bronze is harder then a file. A file can cut toolsteel up to 45 Rockwell.
I once had a job cutting up some old British Navy bronze stuff we tried Diamond and carborundum blades 9" and 12" we couldn't touch it, I noticed you were using a hacksaw on that I always wondered what mix the British Navy used for their bronze props and bearings it was a sight harder than rebar.
What? No bronze is nowhere near that hard. Rebar is 1014 hotroll steel.
If you add a pinch of silicon to your mix, it may help with flow and shrinkage.
4000 series aluminium would help.
you could have hammered a bit the edge before filing, aluminum bronze hardens with hammering... also maybe if you wanted it more yellowish you could have used 92% copper 8% aluminum, or even 92/6/2 Cu/Al/Ni (which is common for some coins)
Juan Pablo Alvarez Alfaro Thanks, I’ve tried hammering some of my blades and so far I have really just messed them up.
Aluminum bronze, less than 8% aluminum if you want to cold work it, and it is malleable and ductile. Over 8 % becomes very hard.
solve shrinkage problem with vertical casting?
watching you make the aluminum bronze dagger was fascinating :)
I vent petrobond sometimes, but when I do I push my vent wire down through the cope with the pattern in place but stop about 1/4" above the pattern. If you just want to let the air out you can just put an open riser at the end, but to let gases out the non-contacting vents will work. They won't work if they're filled with metal.
Thanks for the suggestions. Lately I have found that petrobond really doesn’t need much venting. I get away with a lot without any vents at all.
Aluminum Bronze Swivel cannon would be fun.
SALT PROOF Yes it would!
Aluminum and its alloys tend to make much better hilt materials than blade materials
re patination have you tried making a ferric nitrate soloution and dipping the handel whilst hot?
I would have been tempted to grind dimples on both sides to create symmetrical dimples. For a dagger, I love the idea of having a more impact-resistant alloy.
Love your work man🔥, keep the content coming. Could try a viking/Norse dagger next🤷🏼♂️
Witlig Jonkers Thanks, I will. Good suggestion I’ll look into that.
golden knife!
Have you made a composite bow or ancient Egyptian arrows?
Робинсон -Молодец 👍😀
Wow no power tools - nice job 👍🏻
How about adding just a -little- bit of phosphorous/copper to the bronze to inrease fluiity?
Look's AWESOME 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Gorgeous.
Keep it up!
Really great video! Love your work🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀😎
Is that based on 2000 bc anatolian daggers? Totally enjoying your casting videos especially the historical ones.
Would preheating the mould somehow reduce shrinkage?
Fascinating!
Turned out great.
I'm guessing the white powder you added was flux. What kind did you use? Great video!
Cocaine.
Very nice. Successful in my opinion.
You should show your face more, gives it a more "real" feeling.
Beautiful, a true inspiration. What size is your crucible?
Michael Leeman Thanks! I don’t remember the number but it’s 7”x 9”.
Can you make the sword of Achilles
can Aluminum be quenched and hardened like steel?
Very interesting
Sweet!
Wow! Really impressive!
So, normaly can take some plastic, cut out some form, which i need, dig in sands and cast??? so simple will be works?
do u know what the specific alloy or the tin content/percentage is of those two tin bronze examples you showed?
try castiron bronze
that is a sick forge. how did you get your hands on the keg?
How does aluminum bronze compare with tin bronze as far as hardness?
Templarium from what I’ve come to understand aluminum bronze is much stronger than tin bronze. The research I’ve read into said it’s comparable to some steels
@@jaguarnova3932 One of it's big claims to fame is that it doesn't spark.
This!
What kind of flux are you using?
Isn’t aluminum bronze structurally stronger than tin bronze?
Jaguar Nova yes
'Grinded'?
Seth Robinson- will you please tell us what equipment you use
I made everything I use. I have videos on the furnace build.
bro copper with tin is best
try 20% tin I do 30%
Are you going to cut something?
