hey good job, just a quick question hoqw long does your big blue gas tank last for for a smallish batch of aluminium
-
This viseo is awesome. just finished making my first foundry. Using a 3.5mm thick steel crucible i should be ok for aluminum.
-
@jarodeells i understand but untill i can find a cheap (my deffinition not yours lol) i will use my iron crucible
-
Nice setup
-
EXCELLENT vid. Great setup. simple stuff. I had ny own 55gal drum furnace. Used a #125 crucible and could melt 100 pounds of it in 2 hours. Mine was fueld with petroleum coke (similar to coal. Had a white flame and could be used for steel or Al. Furnace fan blew fresh O2 in thru the bottom. Cant decide if I want to do a bath furnace next time or another crucible furnace.

How is the casting comming along? Is the shaper finished?
I would suggest the metal is way too hot in the video. I pour mine a soon as the metal is liquid, it souldn't be glowing red. Just an observation not a critisism.

@myfordboy The shaper project got killed by a shaper purchase. However, a friend of mine is now building a Gingery lathe and we've using my patterns for it.
As far as temperature is concerned, I have since gotten better at judging. In particular, when pouring too hot, the surface finish comes out very rough and there can be lots of shrinkage.

did you make your crucable? if so how or at least what materials?
panzuman 2 years ago
@panzuman The crucible is SiC (silicon carbide) made commercially.
I don't want to learn (read: make a few very costly mistakes before I get it right) how to make crucibles when I can buy one very cheaply. And cheaply is defined here as: it only costs me a few dollars per pour. The medical bills after an accident will swamp any short term savings.
