- Hello everyone, @SJWCasting here!👋🏻

This week I melted 11kg of aluminum cans 😐. It took me about 2 hours (time when neighbors came to chat included😏). I got some nice ingots out of it!!
MERCH: sjwcasting-sho...
WHY I STARTED SELLING MERCH?
Easy⬇️
By selling merch, I can earn a little bit money (not that much..) and put more in the channel.
Also, I can save more of my own money so we can move to a bigger place.
With a bigger workplace because it’s getting claustrophobic in the garage,
with other projects I’m starting soon, I’ll need more space, much more space!!!
Everything you see is created by yours truly 😁. I spend much time on this. Ordered a bunch of stuff to test and adjust. Now it’s all ready!! I will release more merch in the summer, limited edition!! And more after, but I need some inspiration first😉.
❗️-Also, I’m now an affiliate with artbyadrock, so if you are looking for some graphite coin molds, check out this link:
artbyadrock.co... . When you use that link and buy something, I’ll get a small percentage.
So check it out!!
❗️-If you wonder where I get my crucibles, check out Etsy : www.etsy.com/n...

As always, I hope you have
a great weekend!!
See you next time !!!
Nice!!!
More for the stack!!!
Now to get you converted to Oil...lol
Good video Bro!!! always a good day to melt!!!
Thanks brother! Someday when I move to a bigger place😉. Thanks brother😃
Gotta love a good old fashioned can melt! Nice one, man!
Thanks buddy!!😃
WoooW
Great video bro!
Thanks brother!!
Great melt and pour brother!!! Can melts are cool to watch. Lots to do with tons of dross. You aught to recover approximately 40% of the weight in good aluminum when you remelt it. I really need to get my 10kg crucible lifting tongs built. Then I can do my can melt and some other big melts I want to do. Awesome job on the video. The copper shelf looks like it is about to collapse if you add anything more to it. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks brother!! It’s fun to do too😉. We will see how much exactly I can recover from the dross, but I’m now not expecting much😅.
This weekend, you’ll start on those tongs!😉
It’s way easier to melt cans in a big crucible.
Haha, it still holds🤣. I put a bunch of copper on top of it (next weeks video). But I need to reinforce it! In 5 weeks I have 3weeks off work so I hope I can do it then. Thanks for the support brother!! I need to make some time to watch what you’ve been up to!😅.
@@SJWCASTING I am on vacation this week and next week. I will start on the tongs soon. Have a great time off.
Enjoy your vacation buddy!😉 thank you! It will be a lot of melting 😏.
In germany it is insane to melt the cans, because you get 25 Cent for each can when you bring it back to the store
Here in Belgium we don’t have that option😑. They should do it, would help to keep the streets way cleaner..
I'm paused at 1:42 and making a prediction.
The couple of times that I have melted cans, I had a good metal weight of about 65% (2/3 aluminum, 1/3 slag and junk). So, If you are starting with 11kg, I'm estimating that you will get somewhere between 6.6kg and 7.7kg (60%-70%) of good aluminum depending on how careful you are of separating the slag and/or possibly re-melting the slag.
Your prediction was correct😉. I’m closer to the 60% since I’m not that careful with skimming😅. But the slag will be remelted😉.
@@SJWCASTING I just got to the end of the video and saw your weights. I'd expect another 150-300g from the slag, but not much more than that. I consider anything over 60% a win for cans! Nice looking ingots too! Good job!
150-300g? Damn🤔. Times two, I have more slag to melt😉. Thank you!
What would cause less then (let’s say) 50% recovery?
@SJWCasting It is just a guess. There might be more good aluminim mixed into the junk, and a good slag/dross melt would make for a fun video regardless!
Less than 50% yield? I'm thinking cans that might have a thicker inner lining, perhaps thicker paint on the outside. Also, not completely melting cans and skimming off a higher concentration of metal. Probably other factors, too.
We’ll see when I melt the slag😉. Agreed!!
Oh ok, most of the cans I melt are the same so I mostly will have 60% or higher
Heerlijke video 👍🏻🥳 En mooie stapel ook! Heb je net als BigstackD een streefgewicht? 😅 Groetjes uit Den Haag 🤘🏻
Dank je wel!! Voorlopig is het 500KG. , tegen dat ik daar ben, kan ik het nog altijd verhogen😏.
Any ideas about what's in the slag after you melt the cans? There's a lot of slag with can melts, wonder if something else could be pulled out, not exactly by a setup like this but en masse in recycling plants
I’m not sure what the slag is exactly. Surely there is some residue of the paint. But if you leave the slag laying around for a while, it turns into white-ish powder..
It's pretty much trash. There's a plastic liner on the inside of the can, the label from the outside, and a bit of aluminum oxide. You can technically get some aluminum if you saved the slag and remelted it, but you don't get much. Not really worth it in my opinion.
I just wanted to ask if you made the aluminium cans into blocks the way you have do u get paid alot for it
You can sell 10 pounds for about $50 online. Scrap yards give scrap prices so it depends on where you sell them.
pouring molten metal with shorts on?
Yeah 😅
