I want to cast a part out of Aluminum (from scraps). Is there anything I can throw into the melt mix to make it come out stronger (not as gummy and soft) ??
Some sort of ceramic I'm thinking? Very fine sand-like stuff (e.g. CaCO3)?
Any suggestions for heat treatment too? The part will be a shell-type housing, needs to be strong and stiff.
