Dyskusja o Melt aluminium in a flower pot furnace
- Opinie i zdania tu macie
- thanks for the video it answered a few questions that I hat about the melting threshold of tin vs aluminum.
- Hi again Rob, no I'm not stalking you, I've been down with a bad flu so have spent all day watching almost all your vids. Do you chuck any sort of aluminium in the pot such as drink cans and stuff? or are you selective for stock material?
regards

- can you riddle me this, since I have no working experience with melting anything other than lead for historic munitions casting. The melting point of aluminum is 1,221 degrees F, and the melting point of tin is 449.5 degrees F: the tin can doesn't melt in your video, but the aluminum does. How is this? I want to use a pot to sit on a forge I'm building and it's stainless steel, but some of these stainless steel pots have aluminum fused into the bottom for "even heating".. Would this pot's bottom melt? As I said before, a novice and trying to understand how this works.
- Few right sized holes in the flower pot lid may have solved the lid problem
- Amazing experiment ! Really liked :)
- At
12:46 I couldn't help but think: oh man that looks safe lol.....
- Thank you mate!!
- I made a furnace that works really well, probably too well... I use charcoal and a vaccum, and I try to melt melt soda cans and stuff. But as I mentioned it gets too hot and the containers always brakes after a while... Do anyone know what I should use for container? Does stainess steal work?
- tile bore will work perfect to make hole on your pot
- Beautiful ingot.
- Great work! Right now I'm still using a hair dryer, charcoals and bricks, but im going to try this one. Thanks : )
- Time to kill ants!!!
- Hi, why don't you just buy a few fire bricks and form a square some how, I am sure you could come up with a nice frame to hold them together or tie them with some wire, they are made to go into kilns, so they won't crack. They would last for ever, and they cut using a diamond tipped disk, and you can also drill holes into them.
- I thought the base of a lawnmower was usually made from a magnesium alloy?
- how much do you loose in weight when you melt alu. down?
- Great video, maybe you should invest in a diamond tipped hole saw, they are really cheap now days.
- At 10 : 30, what kind of saw did you used ?
- a little water on your bit would let ya cut through like a wet saw...
- im kinda new to this were would u sell the ignot
- ?
