Success!

Third time's a charm! The sodium chloride vaporized a bit much but did its job nonetheless. Next time I'll use borax and a lower temperature.

A nice ingot of Cu2MnAl formed in the crucible.
It has a golden tinge as is usual for aluminium bronzes.

And it its very magnetic! Video in the next post!

A ceramic crucible with a small ingot of the alloy. Everything is covered in a grey layer of sodium chloride and various oxides. A hand holding the ingot of alloy, now cleaned. In the background the shattered remains of the crucible can be seen. A closeup of the ingot with a piece sawn off. The cut face has a slightly golden colour.
