Ive learned so much on this channel

[@Nighthawkinlight]

This video was a step above. Nice job. One note about the steel vs iron thing at the end: I learned when doing a related video that (despite what we were all told in grade school) steel is not made by adding carbon to iron. The process to make iron as you've seen adds carbon in extreme excess, and to make steel you have to take most of it away. Raw pig iron has 3.5-4.5% carbon content, and cast iron around 3%. Steel is typically between 0.5 and 2% carbon content. So, you did make iron there at the end. That is, you made what is called iron colloquially and industrially, which is not strictly pure elemental iron.

[@riuphane]

I was wondering about that, having followed some of you dabbling, thanks for sharing

[@sherannaidoo2712]

Pure elemental iron is extremely difficult to isolate because of irons reactivity. At best you will achieve 98% pure material and even that will react with oxygen and moisture resulting in oxides and hydroxides.

[@betabenja]

fight! fight! fight! fight!

[@derrickthewhite1]

expanding on iron vs. steel, when the alloy is less than 0.5% carbon, it becomes wrought iron: easy to work with, but a little soft. I think wrought iron is what you typically get when you work the iron in the forge too much. So in order of increasing carbon content its wrought Iron -> steel -> cast iron. Steel has the flexibility of wrought iron and the hard toughness of cast iron. But cast iron and wrought iron are easier to make.

[@TimeSurfer206]

@@sherannaidoo2712 Yup. The process for making Elemental Iron is actually Electrolytic Refining, in a sealed environment.

[@valbourne1797]

You really get to see why some cultures have like an iron festival so to speak. Its like a BBQ but for whole village to make the iron they need for plows and cookware. The people taking turns tending the bellows, family members coming in and out with water and lunch, the master smelter overseeing and of course the anticipation of the result. It could really turn into the core of a social event.

[@kaitlyn__L]

Yes! The whole time I was thinking it’s a lot for a few people, but for a community to help with a few times a year (or once with good planning), it’s not hard to see how an entire community got the necessities of life done pretty well even back then. You just need the right balance of socialising, fun, drinking (?) etc.

next project. Crucible steel. You take the bloomery iron, toss in a small amount of glass, Flux, and some charcoal into a ceramic crucible. Air seal it with a clay Cao, and run it at melting temperature for 6-8 hours. Let it cool for a day or two, then break it open. If the charcoal is still there, you did it right. Using that process, you should get a very clean puck of pure steel.

it's so inspiring watching you guys recover from the loss of that fire. Had your own bronze age collapse, and now you're gearing up to hit the iron age in full force.

[@5thearth]

The process of roasting the ore before smelting has a close link to art. Many pigments are variations of iron oxides. Yellow/Red Ochre, Sienna, Umber, and Mars Black are all various iron oxides. Sienna and Umber come in "raw" and "burnt" forms, which have literally the same starting materials. The "burnt" versions have been roasted at high heat, driving off chemically bound water molecules and producing a color change just like the ore in this video.

[@krzysztofbroda5376]

They probably figured out iron smelting from adding iron glazes onto pots

[@hedgehog3180]

The water isn't chemically bound, it is trapped within the structure of the crystals so it's physically bound.

Gosh I have seen multiple blooms on the internet before but never one that nice! It was high carbon but honestly that just means you did it well, you can remove as much carbon as you need! It really goes to show how important high quality ore is. It kind of sucks how hard it is to source it but at least bog iron gives us a chance, unlike other ores that large companies can take over.

[@HipposHateWater]

I like how you guys include a lot of what most other creators would leave on the cutting-room floor (whether personal or environmental gaffs).

I really enjoy watching the videos like this because they answer the overall question of reset in the best negative way possible: no, one person could not reinvent everything from scratch, because so much of this stuff is so simultaneously labor intensive and time sensitive that one person couldn’t do it all in the allotted time frames. They’re all community efforts.

[@robertmason9737]

This video is really cool! Primitive Technology did a similar thing where he collected water logged soil from a creek that contained iron bacteria, combined it with charcoal and dried clay and smelted it in his kiln. In the end, he only retrieved a handful of iron prills but the experiment worked out very well.

[@rodrigomothe13]

Great video! On a side note: that's not steel, too much carbon concentration. That's called pig iron, or crude iron

[@marscraft4228]

Thank you! What we ended up with is a mix of iron, steel, and close to cast iron in places. But the majority is mid to high carbon steel. I'll be running it through a fining hearth to homogenize the material into something more cooperative in an upcoming video.

It's really interesting how easy it is to go PAST iron and into steel. Kind of makes one wonder why there was an "Iron Age" for so long before steel took over

[@therandomguy1315]

iron and steel have always gone hand in hand but getting an iron bloom is more useful than a steel one due to the amount of effort refining a steel one takes compared to an iron one because its harder

[@danilooliveira6580]

because the "iron age" was more like steel age, pure iron tools are actually not very useful (though apparently they were thing). but the "iron age" also include the use of steel. "steel age" is actually not a real age, its what some people call when people started to manipulate the carbon content of steel with extreme precision the point where they could mass produce steel with precise properties.

[@gavind351]

It's called the Iron Age because it's when humanity started to manipulate iron into different materials. Steel is one of those. Back then, it was hard to get a consistent carbon content. It was until the industrial revolution and the Bessemer Process we got higher carbon steel more reliably.

[@ericwilner1403]

Thing is: metallurgical iron isn't the same thing as chemical iron. Cast iron is elemental iron plus way too much carbon to be steel. Remove most of the carbon, and you have carbon steel. Remove all of the iron (and the other impurities), and you have what a chemist would call iron, i.e., the actual element. It's a funny old language, and the meaning of words often depend on the context.

[@dj1NM3]

I would hazard a cautious guess that most items listed as "iron" (unless definitely cast iron, but that's not pure elemental iron) in museums are actully made from at least a low-grade steel containing some carbon, because completely taking all the impurities out of naturally ocurring iron is really almost impossible, at least until the technology of the Henry Bessemer's converter in 1856.

[@XplosivCookie]

You should visit the Old Irontown ruins near Newcastle Utah. There are the remains of large charcoal kilns made in the late 1800s to produce charcoal by tons, a blast furnace, a few other things I can't think of off the top of my head, and you can see the old open pit mines on the side of the mountains there. There is so much of that rust dirt in the area you can see whole mountainsides with the color. It's one of the richest reserves of iron in the country that has been largely untapped for some reason.

I also remember finding iron fillings in the sand with a magnet toy. the owner also regularly had sand delivered in a huge pile, and we loved to climb and dig in it, until eventually they spread it out. I later came to the conclusion that the sand may have come from a local foundry, and had most of the iron filings pulled out with magnets, but some small (harmless) amounts were left.

[@KainYusanagi]

The previous video talked about how they didn't have enough heat. They had enough heat here. If you mean for iron instead of steel? Carbon content issue, yes.

[@ruukinen]

I mean making steel instead of iron is a fortuitous event if what you want is material for tools or weapons. Sure it's more laborious but steel tools are vastly more durable and useful than cast iron ones. Pure iron is impossible to make with these methods.

[@KainYusanagi]

@@ruukinen of course pure iron is impossible to make this way. However, they were expecting something like cast iron, most likely.

[@marscraft4228]

I was definitely a bit tired at the end and should have gone into more detail on why we got more steel than iron. The short answer is we most likely ran a bit hot towards the middle of the charges. The goal of this style of bloomery smelt is to never fully melt your iron, as when you do it readily absorbs carbon. There will be a follow up video where I take the bloom and refine it to a more workable state and will go into a bit more detail.
