Home Foundry #1.3 - Pouring the left over metal into ingots

[MrSkullpic]

were did you buy it at

Yes, in this video series we are pouring aluminum. While that particular furnace cannot handle higher temperatures, it is relatively easy to cast bronze, brass, copper, and iron using propane. To do steel requires an oxygen source. Look up Bessemer Conversion for details on that... Though, from what I've been told, that can be very dangerous if done improperly.

Two things of note. Not all refractories are the same, and iron is doable with propane, but requires a very finely tuned burner.

would it be possible to do this with iron steel or titanium as well? im asuming your using aluminium correct?
