This casting needed a core to produce the required shape. The core could only be supported at one end so a cantilevered one was used.

  • what is it?

  • @ganaschico Its part of the model Olds engine I am making.

  • is that just regular salt? the one that is used in cooking?

  • @reymer101 I have switched to LoSalt now but table salt works fine.

  • what is that stuff you are taking of the top of the molten alloy and if you dont remove it what are the effects?

  • @luvbigexplosions I am removing the dross, impurities like paint that was on the metal.

    Best to remove it to stop it getting in the casting.

see all

  • @securadeguitarhero Its Just salt and sodium carbonate ( not bicarbonate ) Sodium carbonate is sold as washing soda and I now prefer to use LoSalt.
