Melting scrap aluminum for ingots

Melting aluminum in a furnace I made. This cleans up the aluminum before it 's used for other things. Also makes it easier to store.

did you make your crucable? if so how or at least what materials?

[cranelift]

@panzuman picked up 5 of these crucibles on ebay cheap. They are a graphite product and seem to be very tough. Still on the first one with a couple dozen melts completed.

What do you do with the ingots?

[cranelift]

By making ingots, the alum. comes out cleaner(removers most of the oxidation and slag) so when poured into molds the results are much better. I make small parts and plaques etc.

@cranelift Do you use any deoxidising agent during fusion to clean up the aluminium?

[scottiblasto]

would I be able to use an old ceramic crock pot (slow cooker) pot?

@210482fmj you could never make a jet engine from aluminum there is to much stress. plus they are kind of big and its not easy theres many parts inside it that turn and cranks that create the jet force so yea no you couldnt.

@DRAT311 the flir info is from the day - what proof of you of the temp of any fire on the day? Edna Cintron stood in the whole the plane made - what fire burned her? Others walked down past the flames - watch 'Zero' for that info - the money is being made by those who perpetrated 9/11 - and money and power were the motive - trillions have been made - and speak of 9/11 truth being a market? Don't make me sick - war is profit - for the warmongers - you're an idiot - try thinking

[DRAT311]

@mooners40 The only point you've made so far is that fire burns at less than 200f. I want my school district taxes back. You have all of my links regarding the temperature at which different fuels burn. You have the math in front of you. You can believe it or you can believe what the people making millions of dollars off of CT dvd's want you to believe. 911 "truth" is a multi million $ market. Don't let them do your thinking for you. You're smarter than that.

@DRAT311 an idiot's standpoint- yours- occurs when you misinterpret data , believe all you're told by liars - and think that conspiracies are only believed by conspiracy theorists , whom you think are crazy to do so. And you neglected to answer any of my points - watch?v=565bFybx0zk which is another classic of you official conspiracy believing boneheads, and made shit up "When you argue that "everyone" believes something so it must be true that is an appeal to popularity.etc" I said not
