Separating alloy
Hi, I have played around with copper and aluminum as a hobby and enjoyed creating a simple gold(ish) alloy from the two, mostly with jobsite copper wire scraps and melted aluminum cans for fun. I have since thought about separating the two through leaching and then an electrolysis bath but most of what I have read (while informative) vague on the actual process. I was hoping someone might have first hand experience or a more detail walk through on the process. I would like to be able to separate both effectively though if need be I would prefer to save the copper if only one is realistically salvagable using at home, non industrial capabilities.
The photo is for fun because I thought it turned out kind of cool when I made it with zero experience and simply messing around 😂
