    Can anyone tell me where to purchase ingots of bronze?
    Looking for silicon bronze or aluminum bronze.

    Thank you in advance.

    I have purchased ingots of Everdur from Lancaster Foundry Supply in PA.

    Me too, they are the cheapest I've found. Nice quality and the metal is an exact color match for the silicon bronze tig rods they sell at airgas

    I’ve bought a couple hundred lbs of it from one of our members (Lou). Although it’s reclaimed material (mostly bolts and washers) I have every reason to be confident in its content. It has performed in the crucible and molds exactly as expected. I’m not sure if Lou is still lurking here or not.

    Still alive. Just busy at work. The place where I had this stored at is inconvenient for me to get to. I once had about 3 tons of this. I can get more but there wasn't that much interest then like there is now.

    I've bought bars of C954 aluminum bronze from the local Metal Supermarkets store here, if that helps.
    Maybe less helpfully given your location but hopefully useful to someone, Sculpture Supply Canada in Toronto also sells Everdur (silicon bronze) ingots.
