Melting cast iron at home - Element Cube Collection (DIY)

[@cmleoj]

Thank you for this video. I was surprised by the time involved to melt the cast iron. The electro etching was fascinating to watch. The girlfriend is quite a catch.

[@moparmusts]

Very interesting video. I am new to this and I am watching as many videos as I can. I like the small details you provided like the polishing and etching.

[@Eisenmann86]

Nice colection of Metals 👍

[@jakobhalskov]

Thanks PR Technik - more are to come :)

Using the strength of my brother is my favorite type of strength to use.

[@cvspvr]

i bet the strong brother would survive being dunked into the furnace

[@ebzerelmarov9785]

How did you make the steel melting stove and what do you use as fuel?

[@NET-POSITIVE]

You can us yellow mustard too, works well to etch iron or steel. Just cut out a stencil smear a layer on and wait about 15 minutes for a dark etch.

[@jakobhalskov]

Cool, never heard about that technique :)

[@JulianMakes]

Very nice job!

[@danycage6457]

hello, what kind of crucible you use to melt iron? actually i heard about the silicon and graphite crucibles degrades easily when it reaches the 1500°. Thanks for your help

[@jakobhalskov]

Hi Danycage, we used a sacrificial crucible of unknown brand as this was a one time experiment to see if we could reach high enough temperatures to melt cast iron :)

[@SebastianHalskov]

It's a mistake it says 1538 c that's pure iron, cast iron that we used melts at around 1200 c. We used a cheap china clay graphite crucible.

[@danycage6457]

@@SebastianHalskov ok, thanks for the information. Do you know something about steel melting/casting? i heard about induction furnaces and tungsten crucibles

[@pmd1286]

@@jakobhalskovWhats did you use fir reach this high temperature? Propane? And how long did it take to reach high temperature?

[@jakobhalskov]

@@pmd1286 Just regular bottled propane, but it took hours to reach it just barely molten.

[@Geo64x]

I think the iron got hardened and more brittle after quenching, you should probably temper it before cutting

[@btsenterainment07]

Thanks brother for helping one day before exam

[@jakobhalskov]

It's my pleasure

[@sloppydoggy9257]

Is there no reason to clean it a lot? If you soak it in a light hcl solution before melting would it be a higher quality mix?

[@bilbo_gamers6417]

You should try pouring it into a thin sheet and decarbonizing it to turn it into regular iron. I haven't seen anyone do this.

[@sunychristo5610]

What is the name of softens that you put on the melting cast

[@othername1000]

Thank you for the video and answers in the comments

[@theprince6590]

Does anyone know where can I find an iron foundry that could make a cast iron cauldron??

[@ReddyNaik-cf1uy]

How much time will taken melting iron bro

[@jasonlarman788]

That’s a cool video 🤘🤘🤘

[@bilbo_gamers6417]

Would be great to be able to cast beds for machines like this.

[@minecraftkidabuayad8667]

so how are you going to get gold?

[@jakobhalskov]

Selling my house, my soul and everything :b

@@jakobhalskov lol bro I am such I big fan love your content bro

[@Kaiserboo1871]

@@jakobhalskov How about start with Silver. It’s cheaper.

[@jakobhalskov]

@@Kaiserboo1871 I got silver for some of the jewellery I make; for now I cannot justify parking a lot of money in a solid cube of silver (even though I want to do it).

[@Kaiserboo1871]

@@jakobhalskov Understandable. On the bright side, at least Gold is cheaper then Platinum.

Pretty girls always make casting more fun!

[@ebzerelmarov9785]

Hello. I ask you very much, can you help me?!

[@jpm000001]

Ok do gold next

[@addictchris2503]

Bronze is not an element, but the cube is cool nonetheless :)

[@martinpanev6651]

Thats why its written as CuSn, a mixture of copper and tin...

[@usarmy500]

Need to get some aluminum in there for your cubes

[@jakobhalskov]

I already got a lovely aluminium cube in my collection

Ved ikke, om jeg er mest vild med det flotte smeltede jern 1:51, din søde shortsssommernumse 0:43, eller at kalde en frysepizza for en "little snack" 1:14 ❤

[@TrebbienGuitar]

'Au' næste gang? :D

[@jakobhalskov]

Den er på listen! Dog meget langt nede :P Cirka 1 mio kroner.. Sølv er mere overkommeligt dog, men også lidt meget at have 8-10.000 kr stående på hylden :D
