Was melting down some #0 or so aluminum wire scraps yesterday, what exactly
is it? I cast a big long ingot of it and I can just about wrap the damn
thing around a tree it's so soft! :^)

I'm guessing something ductile, anything special to help with conductivity?

Pure aluminum, you can make your own alloys with it with a little
copper to add. A good use for short pieces of bare copper wire. See
some books on aluminum alloys if you want to do that. It doesn't take
much added copper to really change aluminum's physical properties.
