I had to look at the comments. I was like...is this guy saying 13, 000 degree F????!!! You can make Titanium soup outta anything with that much heat! LMAO
I read on Wikipedia that Borax is used for welding steel to reduce the melting point of certain oxides (causing them to be liquid rather than solid). Perhaps something similar is at play during the curing?
I'm guessing the nuclear reactor you're using to achieve the temps mentioned in the video is somewhere off camera, right? > > > > > > Just giving you a hard time like some others. I'm sure most of us knew what you meant. Good video. Thanks for making it.
So did the borax go ok in time ? I seen another video saying borax destroys graphite crucibles I don't think so just want your opinion as I need to know does it ? cheers mate
Good vid bro Semi fails are jst as good to watch as pros doing it Fuck the haters like they've never made a mistake Keeps everyone on there toes Keep it up
I Like you explaining how to treat your Crucible but on the 2:45 second mark to 3:03 you would melt the whole system down with your temperatures ranging from 13,000 to 15,000 thousand degrees Made me smile, I think you mean 1,300 to 1,500 degrees. Remember I'm just poking fun at you for missing by a few degrees.
Search for king of random mini forge. They have a few forge vids a mini, a micro, a monster, and one called something like “a new forge” or née improved forge.
lol i didn't do half of that, baked my crucible for an hour an on its 1st voyage i heard 2 loud pops even before i started the hair dryer just charcoal burning, i thought maybe moisture in the furnace or on the coal... after my pour they were two large slates broken off the crucible with a green glasslike texture, my assumptions at the moment don't buy off ebay because they probs got the mixture wrong or i should of fired it again before using as the crucible must of drew in moisture after a week sitting around. So now i stick with a thick steel crucible, they get hotter quicker any way and keep the heat longer..
Hey, does anyone know what f you can still use one of these crucibles to melt aluminum without putting it into a forge? I have a bigger one of these that doesn’t fit inside my forge. Can’t I set it on some fire bricks and just point my burners at it to melt aluminum?
Yes you can if your burners get hot enough. I do it often a using DIY propane burner. It's more efficient if you surround the crucible with bricks or something to help retain & reflect the heat.
That's ridiculous. Charcoal could never achieve those kind of temps. If you pause it at just the right moment and turn your head sideways, you can catch a glimpse of the nuclear reactor he's using just out of sight of the camera.

Same

Switch to propane, before I did charcoal ash would cover everything on my patio and backyard. It's cheaper and gets to melting temps faster.

13,000 deg F? LOL your funny guy !! u meant 1,300 F lol
i noticed same thing.lol

I've burned steel crucible. Aluminium everywhere, but bo problem as my furnace is designed to handle that kind of accident.
You do realize borax melts at 1361 degrees Fahrenheit around 760 degrees Celsius right not 13,000°F

here is a link to the tongs th-cam.com/video/g2ZVw42u9kg/w-d-xo.html I do a little melting of lawnmower motors and stuff with a waste oil burner
13,000 degrees?

🤣 i had to puase the video and check out the comments 13k F.
13-14 thousand degrees? Wtf kinda charcoal did you find?
That's ridiculous. Charcoal could never achieve those kind of temps.

@@paris466 bro ☢️ lol
You said 15 thousand degrees it’s fifteen hundred and you don’t need to do this at all only with ceramic not clay
Thanks
15,000 degrees? LOL!!! No, dont think so.
Haha
