    Well lets pose this question ?
    aluminum radiators with copper from AC's , wile I did try cutting AL (scoring)
    then pulling out copper pipe, but for me I felt it was worse then TV's
    Particular cause some of them rad's are multi level THICK
    BUT if you have a forge it seems to me you could pre cut rads to chunk size and first melt AL the copper should float to surface like a dross putting fresh chunks of AL rads will cool the mix down as you work . then Next work on copper
    Any way just a thought.



    Residual freon oil could be a factor
