First ingots from my casting furnace! I have successes in converting purchased candy corn-shaped aluminum ingots into triangle-shaped aluminum...
I like the tripod idea. I think I will do 6 points. 3 castors and 3 leveling jacks.
Christoph Thank you for the feedback. I have been enjoying the welding. Much of the furnace is tig welded. The current burner is a 1" propain...
First Furnace 18” Dia. 26” in tall MIZZOU and 2700F K-Wool I am finishing my first furnace. It is a bit overkill, but I wanted expansion...
old school table drafting. I like it Alex
from what I have read hot blast only makes sense on furnaces that run for long periods of time uninterrupted (multiple days). most cupola melting...
Cyanoacrylate adhesives are activated and cure with moisture. "The cyanoacrylate group in the monomer rapidly polymerize in the presence of water...
perhaps you might run diesel fuel or #2 fuel oil until you get the burner tuned up. you can switch to waist oil later.
. This is not the cases. There should not be any meaningful sidways (moment) forces unless you are locking the arm with a full crucibles. As...
Yes, it is a 5 in a multi-purpose vise. It was a fun project, but I probably paid to much for it. Attached is a before picture.
I have started to dig into this topic more now that I have a Safety Relay for my Bridgeport milling machine. This is a nice summary explanation of...
My last crucible finally arrived, an A2o to join my A10 and A6. It only took 6 months due to COVID. Now I can start construction of my beer keg...
before the blast furnace was invented reverberatory puddling furnaces were used to remove excess carbon to make bar iron and early carbon steel.
This is a great idea for parts that don't fit in my 5-gallon bucket! Evaporust is so much easier than phosphoric acid. out of curiosity what do...
Yes, this can be a problem with welding. This is why one is not supposed to quench hot welds with water as it will make the weld hard and brittle....
Nice Slotted Angle Plate, now you have a new project removing the condensation rust. I am a big fan of Evapo-Rust for anything I can fit in my...
Well, after writing the last post, I checked eBay and promptly bought a for my Bridgeport milling machine, an Allen-Bradley 440R-M23084 Monitoring...
I an not a safety engineer, and I am not an expert in safety controls. However, I have worked with several safety engineers and this is what I...
you might lookup die casting furnace. That is essentially what you're building, just scaled way down.
Is this to learn how to cast or because you need the part? If you need the part and you only want one you could have it machined for a few hundred...
