Quality of metals

A chape is hollow, so would have had a clay core. We know clay molds were used on scabbard slides, as one was found still in the clay mold. But for sandcasting also, the metal would have to be very "runny" to flow well enough to be able to fill a thin space. Bronze cools really fast. Which made me wonder whether or not high lead levels could account for this.
