In response to a California law passed Sept. 30, AFS has formed a consortium of 11 metalcasters, six alloy producers, two manufacturers, one research lab, three trade associations and the AFS Washington Office. Seven subcommittees have been assigned specific tasks to research, including bismuth and silicon-brass alloys, alternate materials, machining, education and communication, health issues and availability and cost. AFS corporate member Fresno Valves & Castings Inc., Selma, Calif., has agreed to begin the first casting trials on alloys 903 (tin-bronze) and 903M (a modified tin-bronze).
