Mixing Molten Metals. What Could Go Wrong??

I attempt to alloy copper and aluminum together while in a molten state. Interesting idea, but it doesn't go as planned.

The idea was to get swirls of different metals in the casting. Mixing the two together in 1 crucible would have made 1 homogeneous alloy, not produced swirl patterns.

I may do some experimenting with the same idea but using tin and zinc to make bronze/brass. It all depends on what the alloys of these metals will produce. If I can find one that doesn’t produce a weak and brittle alloy it might still work.

FYI the boiling temperature of aluminum is 4400F.
