What's up with the piece of charcoal?

@dinosaurier2531

5 жыл бұрын

Probably to create a low oxygen environment. As the charcoal (C) combusts, it converts most of the oxygen (O2) in the furnace to CO2 and minimizes the formation of aluminiumoxide.

@@adekmenti Well It kind of is But there will be something left in the bottom everytime Also Id like to point out that salt doesnt work like this with every metal The best way to clean your metal is to use something called borax Look it up on google ;)

Because you have an electric furnace you can actually do some temperature cycling. One heat the ingots to about 400-425C (just below melting point), and then cool em in boiling water, do that back and forth a couple of times making sure the ingot gets thourougly heated and last cycle you dunk it in cold water.. That will leave you with something more machineable in the range of a -T4, -T56 type of hardness.. The process is called aging and is not super easy to get accurate in a home setup.. But i found it makes the alu ingots nicer to machine. Good luck. :)

A suggestion for clearing the aluminium from the pots without oiling them place them in a freezer for an hour Aluminium is more thermally conductive than steel so the billet you cast will shrink by a few thousands of an inch at a faster rate than the steel pot You can also use this thermal expansion trick as an easy way to fit bearings - freeze the shaft and heat the bearing and they will fall straight into place with no press needed Edit: Also I would recommend a HSS tool for machining the Aluminium - As it is a soft material it tends to gall and cling to carbide inserts giving a rough finish

@Will Swift its because of how the 2 cut. Carbide doesn't really "cut" it tears Hard materials are more brittle to shock, so carbide has a more rounded edge as a sharpened edge would almost instantly chip and break HSS on the other hand is soft enough to sharpen to a razer edge cutting the material. The ripping of carbide makes more heat which essentially can melt and bind soft materials causing gauling and gathering on the tool

Now that's making something useful especially for small engine's needs....

Podobała mi się produkcją tego pieca! Jest super 😍👍

I'm a machanic and I love your videos.

I look forward to every video you make - I have enjoyed all of them. So happy to see you with this new ability to cast - I know you will make even more awesome projects!

Thanks for encapsulating a very practical process of reusing aluminium so succinctly Made in Poland.

Nie przestajesz mnie zaskakiwać. Dobra robota!

Witam wśród zdrowych, już nie mogłem się doczekać powrotu Twojego 😁

Way cool thanks for sharing what most of us don't have in the garage, nice to see you making a pulling.

Hello from Chicago , excellent work .

When you are making pulley ,make sure that bottom of the belt and bottom of the pulley has space between.Vbelts work on sides,as you tighten them,so its good to use parting knife and make bottom of the pulley wide for the small dimension of belt and depth half of that dimension:For example 10x5 belt-bottom of pulley 5-6mm wide with clearance between belt and bottom of pulley of 2.5mm.This way as pulley slowly wears it will always have friction.

I really like your electric foundry, I feel inspired to make one for myself. I use a lot of propane in mine, so just plugging in a cord would be a luxury. If you plan to do more aluminum casting you would be doing yourself a big favor to get a proper foundry flux to get rid of the impurities, then degas with some chlorine to get the bubbles out for a perfect solid casting.

Thank’s guy from Brazil !!

When you melt aluminum, you need to add some magnesium and nickel in small percentages. This will make the material age harden and be super strong. Keep up the good work too.

Hah. I've Seen so many videos of people melting aluminium into blanks. First time I actually saw someone make them into something!

I would have liked to see you pre-heat the extra alu chunks to drive off moisture before dropping them into the liquid alu charge. This reduces the number of steam explosions. Also, a low tech way of breaking up large castings is to heat them in a wood fire in the garden. The alu turns soggy and easily breakable a good bit below the melting point.

Nice castings you've got there.

Beautiful work man!!! Really great Idea👌🏽

Hello from Oaxaca México ..you are fantastic. Great work...I love it.. thanks

nice to see that there was a purpose to doing this in making that pulley. There are too many people posting melt/cast videos where they're making ingots for no real purpose.

When filing keyways it is easier if you use a file with a safe edge. As in it will not cut on one edge, you don't need to worry about cutting it two directions at once.

I have a big bin of scrap engine parts I've been melting down into little blocks for future use. Been putting off chopping up the big V6 block and DOHC heads (there's about 250lbs between them all), but I'm now totally trying the plasma cutter idea! I was going to just get some anger out with a 10lb sledge hammer one weekend. ;)

I started out thinking I didn't like your setup cause it wasn't Propane like BigstackD's setup, but after watching all the way till you took the box inside, I've realized your setup is much safer and easier to pour and control than his! How much power does that thing draw/add to your electric bill? Would probably be less than refilling propane bottles!

Porządne odlewy. Po obróbce widać, że uzyskany materiał jest bez pęcherzy i jam kurczowych.

Good job, greetings from Russia! Do you think about melting under pressure?

You should keep some charcoal dust around (air float) or laser printer toner. You can dust the moulds with that and it works very well to release the metal when it cools and it doesn't stick to either!

Tak na przyszłość radzę uważać na alu o stopie 7xxx gdyż przy takim domowym topienie jest bardzo niebezpieczne. A jak chcesz uzyskać czysty stop taki jak przestaniesz albo bardzo zbliżony to lanca z argonem i organizowanie. Bardzo fajny kanał prowadzisz ja osobiście też buduje różne rzeczy fakt że zaplecze słabe ale zapał i chęci się liczą jak to będzie wtedy wszytko się zbuduje. Pozdrawiam i trzymaj się
