Folks, in case someone may be interested, here is my update: I made a brick out of 1:4 mixture of satanite and perlyte (what I had handy) and covered it by a 2-3 mm layer of pure satanite and let it dry for a week or so. The brick turned to be fairly solid. I used it 6-7 times so far without any issues. It heats-up quickly, like yours, Dennis, and keeps the heat well. Again, thank you for the idea!

Yes, perhaps, but that's minimal. The real benefit is that the bricks are insulating so they don't suck any heat away from the workpiece. Thanks for watching.

try turning these new plates over. otherwise it’s not clear whether the substrate (cavities for flux) does not cool down due to incomplete contact or due to another material but in any case, the heating rate increased greatly, great job!

The wells on the top are actually what's keeping the thermals in line, because you still have heat being able to circulate under the work piece while it's being supported.

@TyrellKnifeworks

I guarantee you if I flip these over, you’ll see the same result because they are insulating unlike the hard firebrick. It’s just like the shell of the forge which doesn’t get a cold spot when you lean something against it.

No such thing as coincidence, I was just looking for the best flooring for a forge welding forge. And not only do those wells collect the flux, they allow airflow under the stock to heat the bottom a bit more than a flat brick. Tell Brian he's awsome for me please.

Ha, yeah they are a pretty cool idea! Thanks for watching!

use green case first as a layer, then apply a thicker layer of the cement that is the best for insulation. You then get a hard top which is thin, and super good insulation underneath protected by the harder layer.

It's really not worth that much effort. Any of the 3 castable refractory choices are light years ahead of hard firebrick. Thanks for watching.

We need a clickable Lego version of these bricks for building temp ovens in odd shapes for powder coating. ...that break down easy to be stored until next time needed in small foot-print. (thinking old plastic milk crate sized)

I am guessing that the channels allow the flow of hot gasses to go underneath the work piece…heating from both sides and keeping the new bricks hot at the same time.

I’m sure you create a wood mold that would allow you to pour one long brick. I think it’s overkill, personally. Thanks for watching.

If you have a 3D printer you can get the STL file from Brian and then modify it a bit. I did that on mine to make the bricks slightly longer. Thanks for watching.

Any chance Brian can make a mold that is about 12 inches long? The reason: myself, and I suspect many others, need a good fire brick that is over 9 inches long to span the roof of their gas forge (when all bricks are 9 inches long, and a forge is lined with them, how do you get the roof portion to be supported well). I’ll buy some now.

@TyrellKnifeworks

If you have a 3D printer, just buy the plans from him and stretch the STL to your desired dimensions before you slice it. That's actually what I did because I wanted the bricks a bit longer than what he had. If you don't have a 3D printer, find a buddy that does. 😉. Thanks for watching.
