lol brilliant joke! and where did you get that ingot tray? is it a brownie tray? im currently using small muffin (like 1.25in across) but ive only done small amounts (25 or so cans yielding just under a pound each melt). at my farm theres a huge fridge unit and were hoping to get tons of aluminum. yes im 13 but i do this with my dad
@guitargodof1996 lol you and i have something in common, i am hoping to make the chevy badge a skull and a shiny metal ass that will go near my front door lol
i hope you are only melting down mlc, since extrusion is worth more than cast(mlc)aluminum. oh wait your using the aluminum for something other than scrap, please continue
now you can sell the ingots for cash right. Yep I'm a 14 year old pyro who needs some cash. And to cast motorcycle parts cos i race them in the WERA league. My parents are pro with the idea of me doing this, they said just search around to see what i can find, and any help is kindly appreciated.
It's made of a cookie-bar baking pan. I bought it at Wal-Mart for 3 buck. Downside, it was coated in Teflon and gave off some funny looking fumes. I don't recommend using a mold like this. It'd probably be just as easy and safer to make the ingot molds in a sand box.
This was sort of a test run. The ingots I made fit well into the crucible so I can re-use them once I get a mold made. I'm planning on doing lost-foam casting once I get the time. As for now, it's just a nice way to consolidate scrap-aluminum in the meantime.
what do you do with the ingots?

what do you recommend to use as a crucible? im using a charcoal and brick foundry but i still need to get a crucible to use.

you could prollly use a section of high grade pressure pipe with a cap but it might melt depending on how good ur foundry is
