Putting that hot crucible on concrete could cause a steam explosion, launching concrete and hot crucible everywhere. Put it on a firebrick or something.

I have never seen someone melt steel like that before. Maybe you could put some notes of what you are doing and adding to the crucible so I can follow along. The glass and the lid I guess is to stop the oxygen from mixing with the metal.

Mr. Wieringa, I see you used green glass this time. Not sure if it was the steel you used last time or the glass color used this time but it seems to have had a more smooth look to it . I would like to see you process these a bit further. I know that processing them will take sometime though. One needs to be very pacient with these. If I'm not mistaken the grain size will be very large and brittle. Right? I have no way to make one of these ingots but if you feel jenerous I would be honored to try and Hand forge a piece down to try and see what I can do with it. I do reline this is in the early stages of the experiment. Question? Being you are using a known steel to make these ingots and it is sealed preventing oxidation do you think there is carbon loss? If so try and add some carbon so this does not happen. I really like the experimenting but as I already mentioned I think it would be sweet to see you process them a bit more to see what happens. Also please send me a piece I'd truly be honored to try to process it to see what happens on my end. Cheers Mr. Wieringa.... Martin M&S Blades

M&S BLADES no I think there is no carbon loss. There I a bigger change on carbon gain from the crusible. My goal is the make a relatively low carbon steel. About 0.8% that is better forgeble than wootz. I whant to be able to fire weld it and maybe even make custom alloys eventually. I work my way towards 0,8% carbon steel with different types of steel mixtures. En also cooling methods. Up till now the foundery performance was great. But I am still in the, 1,4%/1% range. Also some steels have a counterproductive forging temperature in comparison with the low red forging temperature that is required to break up the structure of the ingot in the beginning of the process. I will make more examples until I reach a workable steel for sword Smithing.

Mr. Wieringa, Thank you for your very detailed reply. I look very forward to see what you come up with for your final recipie and to see what the steel actually looks like after you etch. I know we are a ways off though. You'll have to forgive me I am impacient when it comes to something I'm am excited for lol.. Question,,, what is the size of your crucible and were did you get it? Also is it graphite? Thanks again,, Martin M&S Blades

The cost of getting the crucible steel analyzed is kind of expensive. Well this was 7 years ago when I tried so with technology moving as fast as it is there might be a phone app/attachment that I have zero clue about.

would the bottom section of the crucible be porous and therefore leave the steel ingot susceptible to oxidization around the bottom side? or did the steel ingot just have the imprint of the crucibles texture?

Hi Freerk you need to thermally cycle the puck 4-6 times to anneal and change the grain structure, this will make it more malleable and allow you to forge it. in its current state the grain structure is quite large with big carbide crystals. So cycle it then put it in vermiculite overnight then try and forge, it will be easier to forge. If you do the same process with your first experiment you will be able to forge that one too.

In watching the wootz docu on Alfred pendray he eluded to thermal cycling like a minumum of 6 times all the way to black to shrink the grain structure and bring out the carbides clusters, mind you the we're adding a carbiding agent, I believe .02% vanadium

I understand what you're doing, but not why you're doing it. The best crucible steel you could make would be inferior to that which you could buy commercially. Personally, I think your time and money would be better spent trying to improve and expand your sword making skills, not your steel making skills. Sorry, but that is my honest opinion.
