For future reference, when making massive ingots like those, you might try dusting the inside of the mold with a little powdered graphite. It'll help the mold release the ingot.

Now you can make an iron pickaxe

In the US scrap cast aluminum is about $0.30 per pound. So 20 lbs of aluminum is worth about $6 in the US. It's not about the money is about what you can make with it which makes it more valuable. Paint is very cheap but fine art in a museum costs substantially more. It's all about what you do with the artistic medium that counts. People will pay much more for a car pulley or a toothed gear than the material it's made from. My point is it's not the scrap that's valuable it's what you do with it that matters most. Thank you for your video. I absolutely love your grinder and foundry setup. It's a high quality setup and one you should be genuinely proud of. Great video, I learned a lot.

I very much enjoyed this video. I also have made a home furnace to melt aluminium and brass. I have found that a small amount of table salt helps separate the dross from the aluminium for a significantly better yield. My experience has been that the dross, when hot, has an ash-like consistency and is very frangible after it has cooled. Thank you very much for posting these videos.

I did this once as a teenager (I’m upper teens now, but that was lower teens). My friend and I started a giant fire in their backyard, and melted a ton of aluminum cans and a bit of foil to increase the purity. We even used an air mattress air pump to give the crucible more air. Their mom thought that we had meant a few pieces of paper on fire when we asked, and not a homemade forge. We had 10 gallons of water on standby in case something went wrong (when we put it out, the 5 gallon bucket wasn’t enough, so we had to use the second one). Their mom actually let us do it when she found out! She just supervised us afterwards. That was an interesting day.

Not really. I can tell there is a lot of aluminum still in that slag. He wasn't very careful scrapping it off, so he can reheat and melt out the remaining aluminum. And, most of that slag is aluminum oxide, which is what a lot of angle grinder wheels are made from, so he actually has a way of making his own grinding compound out of it.

I have several comments. First, the aluminum in can form is valuable as scrap, (To make new cans.) A better thing to melt would be to get ond pistons, heads etc. The alloy from the castings will give you stronger castings for your project. Next, if you would have made smaller ingots, you could have just re-melted them next time. By making ingots bigger than your crucible now you have to chop them up before you can melt them.

Scrap solids of aluminum in area when sold brings about .70 cents per lb. 22.4 lbs you got there is worth 15.68.

@Predated2

Brad Junes you do know that you pay the 10 cents beforehand right? You dont get paid anything for returns, you just recieve money back. The only way to profit from that is by gathering cans from other people around you. Besides, technically if everyone did this instead, buying cans and then melting them into ingots before selling them, there would be no need for the 10 cent recycle tax. You'd basically help the industry more and can push for lower production costs as a whole.
