Any questions about this induction forge? Note, the extra coils were purchased from cluaranforge.com

What did you end up using for hooking the machine to 220 power source?

I purchased same induction forge last year, works like a dream. The company stands behind the product, just have to do it all by email. Always love your videos, by far the best out there!

Thanks so much, Bill! I appreciate you following the channel. ❤️

An added advantage for us old codgers is that you can set up part of your shop so you can use the induction forge sitting down, and have an anvil at a suitable height to stay seated when working the hot material.

Erik, you should never have a gas forge in an enclosed space. It kicks off a ton of carbon monoxide. Thanks for watching.

Going on 20 years ago I worked for P&H in a variety of capacities as a machinist. I recall they had an induction heat treat machine for heat treating the outer diameter of the trolly wheels for gantry cranes. I always marveled at how quickly it heated a specific portion to heat treat temps before plunging into a quench.

I learned "the science behind it" as part of my masters, and they truly are fascinating to learn about. I've been curious about using this kind of technology as I start my own bladesmithing operation as a means to save space. Though that $1100+ price is a little steep!

I’m a former Electronics repair tech. I’ve been trying to figure out what frequency these type systems use and think it’s around 7KHz. I’m trying to build one around a CRT yoke that’s made of ferrite. It’ll transfer the magnetic field to the steel very efficiently.

Have you noticed any difference in the steel from heating it that fast, or that type of electric heating? Plus it was incredible watching you forge that tip out like that, everything was so square and even. Amazing hammer accuracy.

It’s an alternating current that induces an alternating current in the steal via faradays law. The resistance of the metal is where the heating comes from.

Looks like it would be great for people who want to get started in blacksmithing but live in a place where they might not be allowed to set up a normal forge... I wonder how it handles Damascus forging? Probably need to use the large coil for canister.

I don’t think you’d be able to do Damascus. It’s too focused of a heat source and I’m not sure it can reach 2100F. Doubtful. Thanks for watching

Did you plug it into a wall outlet, or wire it direct to the breaker box?

This isn’t related to this video in particular but I was curious if you could make a longsword out of silicon bronze? It has a close melting temp to copper but a more golden color. I think it would be an interesting experiment

@TyrellKnifeworks

22 күн бұрын

If you mean entirely out of silicon bronze, it would be a terrible weapon that would dull easily. If you meant as a shim line the copper I’ve done, yeah that’s possible it’s just a little tougher because it’s melting point is about 200F lower than copper. Thanks for watching.

Whats the operating cost of something like this? Like has it affected your power bill? And is it comparable to the cost of propane for example?

It’s WAY cheaper than propane. The chiller is always on but it’s 120v. The induction coils are only on when you press the foot pedal. It’s pennies on the dollar compared to propane. Thanks for watching.
