How Far Can I Forge a Copper Ingot?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

And the answer is: a lot! For me this was a test to see if I can really forge cast copper.
It's tricky because it tends to crack if forged too hot or cold for long but it's definitely doable. Do you have any tips for forging copper? Let me know!
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!

    That's what I was coming hear to say. It happens a lot with new metal workers making themselves copper mugs, and they assume it's safe because you see copper mugs in stores all the time. They have to be lined to be safe. It's a real bummer.

    Don't want to rain on your parade either... First off, great public service announcement. But your plumbing is likely full of copper piping and that lining doesn't last forever 👌 Also, just about everything you eat is full of micro plastics! I'd be less worried about trace elements of copper and copper biproducts 😉

Медную посуду нужно обязательно лудить, причем не простым оловом, а пищевым (олово высокой очистки без мышьяка).

    @@MrHerMorzhov и тем не менее, медная посуда во все времена считалась ядовитой, и либо лудилась, либо покрывалась эмалью. Отравление солями меди из-за приготовления пищи в плохо лужённой или изношенной медной посуде было распространённой причиной смерти ещё в тридцатые годы ! Например, в справочнике по криминалистике упоминается отравление семьи из четырёх человек солями меди в клюквенном варенье, которое готовилось в медных котлах с частично слезшим покрытием. А олово насколько я поинмаю на практике быстро пассивируется и вредных соединений не образует, а те продукты коррозии, которые образуют плотную пассивирующую плёнку, для человека безвредны.
