    I exclusively use fine silver when using silver at all (I like the
    properties of fine silver over sterling a thousand times greater.It
    doesn't oxidise becaue it has no copper, it's as forgiving a metal
    as 18 kt. gold and above,fuses without flux and eutecticly bonds to
    itself or "marrys" other metals beautifully in most applications. I
    find that paying a supplier for copper to be added is an unnecessary
    outlay-unless i'm in a hurry, or need massive quantities of it for a
    specific application. If i need sterling or "de-oxed "silver it's
    easy enough to manufacture myself!).. 

    What exactly do you need to know? If you can narrow your topic area a
    bit I'll be more than happy to share anything i've learned thus far
    about it with you.. Also what type of casting are you planning on as
    that narrows the topic area even further..
