Iron casting party

(1/3) > >>

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.
