| ironman:
I had a few friends look at my new furnace in action melting cast iron. Have a look at the video |
| DavidA:
How much iron, and how long to melt it ? Dave |
| Chuck in E. TN:
Nice! My foundry efforts so far are limited to cosolidating aluminum scrap. I'm jelous! Chuck |
| ironman:
DavidA The crucible holds 1.6 kgs of iron and takes about 25-30 minutes to melt and be hot enough to pour. |
| DavidA:
Thanks, Sounds just right for making loco wheels. One more question. How many melts do you get from a bottle of gas ? (and which size bottle) Dave. |
