most of the yellow stuff that I melt is old bushing our of oil field equipment, theres no transmission rebuilder around here thats going to give you that type of stuff. and zink doesn't bother me to much as all my stuff is outside and all I have to do is stay upwind, but your right I got sick from welding galvanized water pipe one time, its no fun.
biggest bronze pour I have done was helping a friend pour propeller blades for his sail boat, took 75 pounds to make each pour alloy was NiBrAl.
from the way the stuff I poured this morning was ringing when I filed it I think it may of been some from some bushing out of a Drag Line that a machinist in Florida gave me a couple years ago, sure poured nice, stuff ran like water.
