Molding a new crucible for metal casting

[@santiagoaguado5593]

Where is the material list? What Kind clay you use, you must use material higly refractary

[@Seanfrtd]

Looking for something with a little more how to explanation

[@rufustoad1]

No doubt. What was the point

[@stasi0238]

Why the coatking

[@picauu]

Magnificent work Congratulations I appreciate you being able to report what materials are used and how to mix. Please be extremely useful to us all.

[@LilDirt12]

Very cool technique!!

[@markfields8578]

Hey Jimmy, you mention glazing it.If you use a flux for melting the copper or bronze, the flux will also affect the glaze. Especially if you use borax, it will significantly lower the melting point of the glaze and cause it to run down the sides of the crucible. Hope this helps! Great job with the molds and using an air hammer to pack the clay!

[@Richardson501]

Hey Mark, (or anyone)do you have any videos on this subject? I'm researching for knowledge and anything, everything, good, bad, or indifferent will help me set up. Thanks

[@eccentrickiwicreative2962]

Hi, awesome crucible. Can you please explain the process and materials you use for glazing and firing? Also, how do these perform compared to a clay graphite crucible?

[@dystopiantea4582]

I second this request please, what are the materials Just ordinary potters clay? Glasing preference? How did it perform?

Well, I have read about this but now I've seen it. You are giving me ideas here! Dangerous, very dangerous:)

[@ch0cchip704]

I've seen worse paint drying that was interesting to see your process of making a crucible

[@mertavlamaz6708]

i did it, there were too many cracks, I wonder why?i would be glad if you answer?

[@admilsonalmondes5765]

could someone explain to me , what is grog ? Good job, I like it brother !

[@JimmyCogg]

Grog - Crushed unglazed pottery or brick used as an additive in plaster or clay. It is clay that has already been fired and then crushed up. Being fired it is a refractory material, relatively stable under high temperatures. I hope that helps.

[@admilsonalmondes5765]

@@JimmyCogg Yes, you helped me a lot my friend! thank you very much . from a Brazilian friend !

[@mountainmanfab]

good luck with the crucible m8...only thing i would be concerned with is at that size if it fails with a full load its gonna be a major event...stay safe and try not to burn your toes off!

[@JimmyCogg]

Cheers man...I am very aware, I will be super cautious believe me!

[@plumbsavvy]

I'm not aposed to paint drying. Thank for the heads up. But I did search for DIY crucible. Lol

[@jehafrica.4316]

What material did you use sir? Was it cement?

[@JimmyCogg]

It is fire clay and crushed ceramic/pottery or fired clay. The recipe is in this video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6ZmD... I hope that helps.

[@workingboat]

Would like to know what he used, like what material

[@aZiiekah]

Same problem

[@nathantanner9703]

Did I miss the materials list? Don't wanna watch it again if the instructions are all in the subtitles.

How big of a furnace do you have that a beast like that can fit in. Well done, man.

please upload the result of its use in the description. did it work/leak/break/etc.? and of course i like watching paint dry, that is the video that brought me to yours ;)

🟢 Friend, how could I make a Crucible for cast iron?

[@jensshed3850]

Looks great any chance you could share the recipe, I am looking to make similar crucible. Thanks and well done.

[@JimmyCogg]

Sure. The recipe is in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWe9nneParugl5o

[@mannymayer9250]

Well, crucibles must be made with petroleum jelly and cooking oil. No other materials were mentioned.😵‍💫

[@JimmyCogg]

Lol! Check the description......I hope that helps! :-D

[@jdnotariano]

Cool

[@thornvannak]

good

[@AndrewBuchen]

Mix? What did you use as moulds? More info or it's a pass.

[@JimmyCogg]

It is a concrete mould. I put the mix in the other video in the sequence. Basically fire clay and grog with a small amount of water to moisten it.

[@mikegunnellsministriesinc5384]

How well did this turn out or have you used it yet?

[@JimmyCogg]

Hi Mike, I've not used this 3 litre one yet. It has dried out well, no obvious defects. It's winter here in the UK. When the weather gets better I will fire it, glaze it and then, if free of major defect, use it. My smaller one litre crucibles, made with the same process, are great and work very well. Cheers.

[@joachimschreiber7835]

@@JimmyCogg so? Have news or a recipe? Thx

[@كمالسلامي-غ8ح]

What are the ingredients ???

[@danvandertorre6349]

there is a youtube video showing how to make this and all the stuff you need to make them, graphite boracilicit glass silicon carbide fire clay and water ,this being just clay it wont last .

[@tomayrscotland6890]

Hi Jimmy Cogg. Can you tell me how to get the Graphite and what clay might you use to make a Graphite cruicible. Seems info on the net is hard to come buy. And what would the curing time be before you can use it?. Thanx Tom Copland Ayr.

[@JimmyCogg]

Hi Thomas, I've not made a clay graphite crucible. I've purchased some powdered graphite to use as an additive and mold release agent from ebay. I use standard fireclay for mine which are a mainly a mixture of fireclay and grog (crushed firebrick) I understand tha clay graphite crucibles seem to require a more industrial process, plenty of pressure. Cheers. Regards, Jim

[@descargaelbano]

WAS Steven Segal in charge of producing this video?

[@Richardson501]

What does anyone think about inserting a metal container into the center of the crucible? Such as graphite molded to the inside size of heavy can, then molding another crucible on outside? Would that last longer?

[@JackTheAwesomeKnot]

I think the metal container would expand and crack the outside of the crucible

[@agussurachman1179]

can i use castable refracory for fire clay? Thanx for ur attention

[@JimmyCogg]

Hi, I don't know about that. That would be a worthwhile experiment. The clay acts as a binder and has moisture in it to help it bind and that must be dried out sufficiently before firing so that the final pot has strength and integrity at the high temperatures that it will be taken. The castable refractory would have to do the same thing to be any good. I would try it, dry it and fire it and look at the properties of the fired piece. If it has sufficient strength when fired, and stands up to the temperature of the metal being melted, why not give it a go. I would be interested to see the results of that.

[@davidseth7150]

i have alot of gold and palidum rhodium and silver i need help refining if someone out there wanna get in on this for half of my yeid i live in texas northeast region

[@ficzerepepe]

Is there a way to get werbal information or we only allowed to see the videos?

[@peterxyz3541]

I was looking for videos on making crucibles to cast aluminium. Thanks. What’s the material? Sand? What’s the binder?

[@JimmyCogg]

The material is "grog" which is already fired ceramic material crushed into powder for example crushed fire brick. The binder is fire clay moistened with a very little water.

[@mhdyusuff5118]

Sir.. it's working for iron melting?

[@JimmyCogg]

Hi, I've not used them for iron, only for Brass/copper. Iron is a much higher melting point. I don't see why they can't be used for iron. The clay used however must be a high temperature firing clay otherwise it will break down under the high temperature.

I have a better idea on how to press the crucible without a pressure machine...lmk

[@AndrewBuchen]

You need to draw some lines on your table and the outer mould so you don't have to guess when lining them up.

[@JimmyCogg]

You're right and I did make some marks.

[@Nob0dy1791]

make some kind of turn table so you can work from one side and just spin it around either by hand or powered. great job none the less

[@crossbowmd61]

Showing what you did is not the same as teaching it. Some narration as you went could have been a big help; even if it were dubbed in later, after the filming was completed.

[@glennparadelas5347]

He does not say what material he used

[@patgervais6568]

Nobody knows what green sand is

[@Richardson501]

Green sand is a mixture of powdered cat litter (plain) and finely sifted sand, lightly dampened. Not sure of ratio but I think it's 2 parts sand to 1 part clay. Again, have not made any yet.

[@9traktor]

- please talk to me...

[@raymondcote6669]

What was the material you used. Sand mixed with what? You left out the most important part Plus you don’t talk!!!!!
