Tinker fest...
I can tell you this, a casting of a cage, is going to be a lot quieter than any forged product, bent and welded. The higher the porosity (atmosphere balls in the mass, tiny bubbles), the quieter the material. As far a strength, it's WEAK and heavy. Can looks, ugly. Sonicly pretty quiet. The denser the material the more the ring. I still have a two pairs of cast mag/alu speakers (Infinitesimals) VERY quiet cabinet, no noise box.
Pewter, Cast iron, alu/mag (be careful with mag) there is a few.
Also seen stained glass cages. yup. pretty cool, ming gun metal leaded glass, turquoise, and clear polished jade colour glass. Good solder skills.
Unless you got a friend, or are handy, might cost a few quid, small foundry stuff, ay...Never know though. I've done quite a few lead and pewter cast through the years. fun but gotta be careful. lead especially
TEL vaporised lead..
Regards
