What would be a good flux for a copper-nickel mix 2 Years, 10 Months ago  
Im getting ready to cast a copper nickel mix its roughly 75% copper and 25% nickel. I'm looking a flux for a reasonable price. Any thoughts on the subject would be great

I've used Borax for the little copper based alloys I've cast. I don't know about the nickle, but borax is good for a lot of alloys.

Matchell,
How did your melt of copper/nickel turn out? I also want to try this alloy. Regards, Alden
