    Renate, I experienced something similar many years ago but it
    happened in a graduate school sculpture foundry. We were pouring
    several hundred pounds of bronze and someone mistakenly brought cold
    ingot molds in from outside. They had some condensation on them. In
    the rush to pour left over metal into the ingot molds, no one
    realized that these were cold molds, with condensation on them. As
    soon as metal was poured into the first mold it exploded, filling the
    air with tiny pellets of orange glowing bronze. Fortunately there
    were only a few minor burns. 

    I hope that this account provides you with some information that
    might be of help.
