what happens if you don't preheat your tongs, molds and lifters?
@meltingipswichКүн бұрын
Steam explosion. Imagine having a red hot saucepan with nothing in it and then dropping a tiny bit of water in it you get an instant steam reaction now multiply that by 10 - 15 but the moisture is inside the metal. You then touch it onto 1100°c molten metal that’s going to go bang 💥 Thank you for the question and I hope that answers it for you and thank you for watching 👍
