Making Iron Oxide with Steel Wool - Pt.2

This is a followup video on making Iron Oxide with steel wool for a glaze ingredient and for decorating pottery. I had several good suggestions after making the last video, so I decided to test those suggestions.
Please watch Pt.1 first if you haven't: • Making Iron Oxide with...

Hey Justin, glad that you tried my vinegar method, I think it looks great, guess I'll go in my studio and put some vinegar and steelwool in a glass ;)

[@gordoncouger9648]

Nice work! The heat from putting steel wool in vinegar comes from making Ferric Acetate. Acetone gets the oil of steel wool much better than soap & water. Vinegar will give a much smaller particle due to the nature uf the reaction.

Great experiment, I can see a variety of uses for this. Looking forward to see what’s next

Austenite iron only exists at room temperature in some stainless steel (300 series), steel can phase transition into Austenitic steel around 730 C but once it cools it will become ferritic or martensitic, both these forms are magnetic. Your treated powder does not react to a magnet because it has formed an oxide of iron iron oxides are non-magnetic

I believe you can also add a little peroxide to the vinegar mix to accelerate the process. It looks great, though! I've used the vinegar mix before as a wood stain once; it gives a slightly aged/weathered look to wood.

came here to say this. peracetic acid reaction creates heat so do it in a water bath. But your 4 day vinegar result? you'll have it in 10 minutes

Thanks for doing this test and sharing. It was very interesting.

[@melgoolcharan6816]

Thanks for sharing your experiment. Very interesting.

I looooooved this channel 💓😍 it's is so instructive to watch and see the experiments. Thanks to sharing with us😊❤️

[@josemartin4431]

Cool to see these experiments. I use steel wool for some woodworking projects and it does come with a protective coat of oil. Mineral spirits works the best for removing this oil. If you continue, give that a try.

oxygen tends to disrupt the magnetism of iron, however, a secondary roasting without a cover would restore the magnetivity. most iron ores are not magnetic until roasted

Want to like it twice

[@melissaharder4867]

Wondering how various salts would have reacted? Here in northern Canada out vehicles rust after a couple years.

[@sandgrains3418]

Hi well done successful experience, and the result is beautiful, please I want to help, I want to prepare natural paints, to color my traditional pottery, did you, he, put the wire in vinegar and let it rust, filter it, color the pot with it, was the pot burned beforehand or did you keep the paint on the pot after glazing? Please reply,,

[@deepashtray5605]

It would be interesting to see what a reduction atmosphere or raku would do with those.

[@michaeldeleon7191]

Sehr intressant!

[@EliUwU3600]

You're here for painting, I'm here to make an explosive. We are not the same

[@MsRemmington]

Is this food grade safe or cups , bowls and dishes

[@lalitrajbhardwaj3474]

Hmm 👍

[@syedahsanali2943]

Can we use hydrochloric acid

[@mauvemoth569]

what about salt water

[@MsRemmington]

Is this food grade safe

[@JustinsMakery]

I would imagine so if it is in a glaze within normal glaze limits. Theoretically it isn't different than Red Iron Oxide that is regularly used.

[@chrisjones-fp5vd]

Why don't you just burn it?
