Did a search for white bronze ally and came up with this:

"Sometimes referred to as white bronze, nickel-silver is a copper/nickel alloy. It is similar in color to stainless steel, with golden highlights."

ALLOY CODE
01 White Bronze (19% Nickle Min)
10 Red Bronze (85% Copper)
11 Red Bronze (81% Copper)

The following is a link to a site with more info on Nickel silver as well as several bronze alloys.

Bruce-
Just got my new Rio Grande Catalog (www.riogrande.com) and they carry White Bronze Casting Chunks. It's item# 706-013 and runs $7.45 a lb 1 to 4 lbs or $7.05 a lb for 5-9 lbs. Melting point is 1650F flow point 1850F. It does contain 1% lead. They also have other bronzes and nickel silver chunks.

Thanks Chuck,I gave them a call today and talked to the tech guy.The white Bronze is a aluminum based bronze with a whole bunch of other things added in also.Not good if you want to solder to it,but it is nice and silver colored and casts easy.
