Hi Jim.
Basically, any of the continuous cast bronze bars usually available from bearing suppliers at a reasonable cost. Here they sell it in 1 foot long sticks. Some in larger sizes from 7/8" diameter is available hollow cast, which if you are making things with large holes through them (eg Gauge 1 cylinders) is cheaper. You need a cast material - stay away from sintered ones.
Probably a leaded bronze would be easier to work. LG1 is often used also.
