Hey Justin, glad that you tried my vinegar method, I think it looks great, guess I'll go in my studio and put some vinegar and steelwool in a glass ;)

Great experiment, I can see a variety of uses for this. Looking forward to see what’s next

Austenite iron only exists at room temperature in some stainless steel (300 series), steel can phase transition into Austenitic steel around 730 C but once it cools it will become ferritic or martensitic, both these forms are magnetic. Your treated powder does not react to a magnet because it has formed an oxide of iron iron oxides are non-magnetic

Nice work! The heat from putting steel wool in vinegar comes from making Ferric Acetate. Acetone gets the oil of steel wool much better than soap & water. Vinegar will give a much smaller particle due to the nature uf the reaction.

I looooooved this channel 💓😍 it's is so instructive to watch and see the experiments. Thanks to sharing with us😊❤️

Thanks for doing this test and sharing. It was very interesting.

Thanks for sharing your experiment. Very interesting.

Cool to see these experiments. I use steel wool for some woodworking projects and it does come with a protective coat of oil. Mineral spirits works the best for removing this oil. If you continue, give that a try.

I believe you can also add a little peroxide to the vinegar mix to accelerate the process. It looks great, though! I've used the vinegar mix before as a wood stain once; it gives a slightly aged/weathered look to wood.

Wondering how various salts would have reacted? Here in northern Canada out vehicles rust after a couple years.

Hi well done successful experience, and the result is beautiful, please I want to help, I want to prepare natural paints, to color my traditional pottery, did you, he, put the wire in vinegar and let it rust, filter it, color the pot with it, was the pot burned beforehand or did you keep the paint on the pot after glazing? Please reply,,

thanks for sharing Justins Makery

Is this food grade safe or cups , bowls and dishes

Can we use hydrochloric acid

oxygen tends to disrupt the magnetism of iron, however, a secondary roasting without a cover would restore the magnetivity. most iron ores are not magnetic until roasted

It would be interesting to see what a reduction atmosphere or raku would do with those.

Want to like it twice

Sehr intressant!

what about salt water

Is this food grade safe

Hmm 👍

Why don't you just burn it?

Electrolysis
