Bravo and thank you for posting! I know its old- but as someone who is NOW getting into the curiosity of the refining craft- THANK YOU! Hopefully you folks post more! Thank you again and SUBSCRIBED

This is great. I'm gonna try this with mild steel scrap I have laying around.

Are there going to be follow up videos about the refining of the steel and forging of a tool from it? Would love to see the complete process!

Sorry, no plans for these kinds of follow-up videos at this time. I think other people have already done them, if I am not mistaken.

Can you share where you found the information on the Japanese furnaces? Doing some tool making and want to stay true as possible.

Thank you Emiliano, really appreciate you sharing your wisdom! Is it possible to create large billets if using a larger hearth furnace and more overall charges? I'm trying to work out how to create a large block of high carbon steel that can be hardened and precision machined. Forge welding smaller pieces was my first thought but decided it wouldn't be strong enough.

makes me wonder why they didn't just go about trying to produce crucible steel if they were capable of getting temperatures high enough to melt steel.

they should be drinking beer and having more fun why doesn't the bloomery carbeurize the iron into steel? why does it need the second heating in the charcoal?

In the bloomery furnace all the carbon is used to 'reduce' (ie attract) the oxygen from the ferrous oxide (the ore) to leave just iron alone (Fe) as the product.

Pretty sure this doesn't work. Yeah it seems to be high carbon but once you work it, it is basically just mild steel. You can see this on Alec Steele's channel where he used this process to try and turn wrought iron into steel. kzitem.info/news/bejne/lH2ouKOCoZZle2U is the link.

It has to do with the levels of phosphorous. It inhibits carbon uptake and promotes faster decarburization during forging. This bloomery iron had very low phosphorous as smelted, and gained quite a lot of carbon through this process. If you watch through Alec's video again you'll see them talk about phosphorous being the issue they faced.

You need to start with a low phosphorous content iron ore (haematite).
