Opinion from a scrap yard’s perspective: Would not suggest creating personal ingots if you’re looking for profit on your scrap. You will have a tough time selling your material and likely downgrading your metal. You won’t be able to certify the metal in your ingots. Smaller yards won’t be able to verify the chemistry and although larger operations could run their tests they will likely downgrade knowing quality won’t be consistent from a garage smelter. Melting is definitely fun, would only suggest if you’re just looking to create cool content online and not looking to profit off this metal.

I agree. Eventually you will find someone that will buy them but it’s tough. Most yards won’t especially if they don’t know you. Surprisingly there’s people that will buy them on eBay. Even at crazy premiums for some reason. Personally I think a few 5 gallon buckets of bare bright solid core is just as pretty😂

I can verify this, I worked at a foundry that processed lots of aluminum, every batch was sparked on the spectrometer with the sheet included with the ingots. One exception was a nail company that paid for aluminum ingots for deoxidizing their alloys, but they only wanted extruded aluminum. Lead would be another exception, we melted down anything from poo pipe to used medical isotope casks for mill anchor. Hahaha, Zinc fires are great indoors, nothing like coming in to a dusting of snow. Oh, and slag is from smelters, what you skim off is called dross.

If the lid does burn out at the opening and enlarge, I think cutting a larger hole (square for ease or round if you are up to it) and replacing it with a piece of stainless steel sheet larger than the hole with the exact same size center hole, held in place with solid steel rivets or steel bolts would end future issues. Use a slightly thicker piece of stainless steel if available. I would imagine that as the original steel erodes, the insulation will also. To cut out the patch, an electric or an air powered "zizz wheel" (cut off tool with a thin a thin abrasive disc, some people call it a "death wheel) cut off tool. Just make sure the blade is in good condition, worn evenly, etc. Thanks for posting this. I just got a notification from Vevor about their stainless steel 12KG model. It looks like the same tongs are supplied.

You need a bimetal pyrometer to monitor temps. Drill a hole 3/4 upper furnace hight and use an angle so the tip 4" of the thermocouple is to the side of the fiber insulation. Use Sodium Silicate mixed with Kaolin powder as an adhesive to seal the probe hole. It makes a decent mortar also. I built about 20 furnaces like yours that could melt 200 pounds of copper.

Thanks Tim, I just got one last week and want my first firing, melt and pour to go as well as it can. I have a pyrometer (for firing a pottery kiln) but haven't yet considered applying it to this task. Your install description is helpful. I made cast sculptures 40 years ago using wax investment and also sand casting process. I don't want to overheat brass and do want to monitor the temperature to be able to plan for time and to calculate gas usage. The sodium silicate & kaolin combo for sealing up the kaowool surface sounds like a good treatment and will apply that. I have used a water- alumina - kaolin mixture to keep kiln shelves clean. I think I may add some alumina to increase the heat durability of the coating and reduce the possibility of cracking, what do you thinks?

9:34 Actually, the ceramic wool will degrade with each subsequent firing without a well applied even coat of rigidizer or appropriate coating. Even the coating will eventually break down and expose the wool. It needs to be periodically maintained. Ceramic wool has been compared to asbestos due to some similarities with those minerals. Your assessment of this product was pretty spot on. Some good suggestions for minor upgrades that would improve the product without terribly impacting the cost. Shoot, they don't even need to make the changes. Just put a slip of paper in the box with your suggestions and let the DIYers do it themselves.

did you temper the crucible first? slowly heat in a domestic oven to dry it out. then heat in furnace to highest temp you plan to use it at, and hold this temp for around 20 min. seems to glaze the crucible and make it last a lot longer without the flaking you saw. experiment with some casting, its great fun!

Downside of using cast iron molds with copper. I use graphite molds instead and the ingots look way better. You can wire brush the inside of the cast iron molds, but you will have a couple of holes in the end.. Preheat your crucible before using it, that way it will last longer. Now, is it worth it melting every piece of scrap and sell it.. Look at eBay, Etsy and see what some people will sell it for.. 1pound of copper for $35.. For me it’s a fun hobby, so it’s definitely worth it😁.

I would say if you're going to work with both aluminum and copper based alloys get two sets of equipment and keep things separate. It doesn't take much of one to contaminate the other. I've built a couple of furnaces before and you could do a lot better if you're willing to build a setup yourself. But for someone that's just getting into casting this doesn't look like a bad first setup and going with this could save you a lot of beginner mistakes in building your own equipment - you want to be safe after all. I'd suspect it won't be that durable though (but still good enough to get your feet wet) and if you do stay with it and decide to upgrade I'd plan on replacing most everything.

A lot of people use refractory cement, the kind of mortar that is used to build brick fireplaces. I think you can buy colloidal silica on Amazon though, I was just fortunate when I googled businesses in my area that there was a furnace and forge supply house in my area. Advantages of living in a horse town I guess!

Skraping small amont of copper and brass in down times,is a nice hobby i imagine. Then you can melt it when you have enough material for å bar. Easy to stack,and Save for tougher times,or stack for pension.

Awesome! I was balking at getting a Devil Forge because of the price but this is something I can afford. If the code you gave would work. The promotional code you entered is not recognized is the error I get.
