Default what do you make moulds out of????


what I'm asking about is the materials used to build the casting
moulds for little model engine crankcases. ones cast in alooominumm.

what sort of head do you need in the aluminium to get a reliable mould
filling?

what aluminium alloys do you use for casting?
which alloys do you avoid like the plague?

how much venting do you guys find necessary?

how long do your moulds last?
