What Crucible to Use?

Post by trains4 »

I belong to an organization that needs a large bronze casting done. The foundery will do for just the cost of the metal, however, they are somewhat reluctant to do in one of their curcibles. They have crucibles used for lead, Red Brass, and for yellow brass. We will be casting a leaded bearing bronze C92700. Is there any of their crucibles that would be a better choice, or are all bad choices, in which case we would need to spring for a new crucible. The melt will be about 75 pounds.
