Hi everyone.
You are watching my second approach to aluminum melting, so please be understanding and I am asking your advice on how to do it better :)
Thank you also for ideas such as adding charcoal to aluminum, and cooling aluminum for a long time.

What's up with the piece of charcoal?
@dinosaurier2531 5 жыл бұрын
Probably to create a low oxygen environment. As the charcoal (C) combusts, it converts most of the oxygen (O2) in the furnace to CO2 and minimizes the formation of aluminiumoxide.

A suggestion for clearing the aluminium from the pots without oiling them place them in a freezer for an hour Aluminium is more thermally conductive than steel so the billet you cast will shrink by a few thousands of an inch at a faster rate than the steel pot You can also use this thermal expansion trick as an easy way to fit bearings - freeze the shaft and heat the bearing and they will fall straight into place with no press needed Edit: Also I would recommend a HSS tool for machining the Aluminium - As it is a soft material it tends to gall and cling to carbide inserts giving a rough finish
@bengrogan9710 Жыл бұрын
@Will Swift its because of how the 2 cut. Carbide doesn't really "cut" it tears Hard materials are more brittle to shock, so carbide has a more rounded edge as a sharpened edge would almost instantly chip and break HSS on the other hand is soft enough to sharpen to a razer edge cutting the material. The ripping of carbide makes more heat which essentially can melt and bind soft materials causing gauling and gathering on the tool

Because you have an electric furnace you can actually do some temperature cycling. One heat the ingots to about 400-425C (just below melting point), and then cool em in boiling water, do that back and forth a couple of times making sure the ingot gets thourougly heated and last cycle you dunk it in cold water.. That will leave you with something more machineable in the range of a -T4, -T56 type of hardness.. The process is called aging and is not super easy to get accurate in a home setup.. But i found it makes the alu ingots nicer to machine. Good luck. :)

When you are making pulley ,make sure that bottom of the belt and bottom of the pulley has space between.Vbelts work on sides,as you tighten them,so its good to use parting knife and make bottom of the pulley wide for the small dimension of belt and depth half of that dimension:For example 10x5 belt-bottom of pulley 5-6mm wide with clearance between belt and bottom of pulley of 2.5mm.This way as pulley slowly wears it will always have friction.

When you melt aluminum, you need to add some magnesium and nickel in small percentages. This will make the material age harden and be super strong. Keep up the good work too.

I really like your electric foundry, I feel inspired to make one for myself. I use a lot of propane in mine, so just plugging in a cord would be a luxury. If you plan to do more aluminum casting you would be doing yourself a big favor to get a proper foundry flux to get rid of the impurities, then degas with some chlorine to get the bubbles out for a perfect solid casting.

I would have liked to see you pre-heat the extra alu chunks to drive off moisture before dropping them into the liquid alu charge. This reduces the number of steam explosions. Also, a low tech way of breaking up large castings is to heat them in a wood fire in the garden. The alu turns soggy and easily breakable a good bit below the melting point.

When filing keyways it is easier if you use a file with a safe edge. As in it will not cut on one edge, you don't need to worry about cutting it two directions at once.

I started out thinking I didn't like your setup cause it wasn't Propane like BigstackD's setup, but after watching all the way till you took the box inside, I've realized your setup is much safer and easier to pour and control than his! How much power does that thing draw/add to your electric bill? Would probably be less than refilling propane bottles!

I was just thinking the same thing. I build one off aluminum boats. So I have tons of long thin scrap plate pieces. I want to make a kind of chopper that can take say 1/8-1/4 plate strips and cut/smash them into small bits that will be more easily melted down.
@dimitar4y 3 жыл бұрын
@@Mad.Man.Marine Hydraulic actuated power shears may be the only fix tbh, metal is surprisingly tough, need so much torque to slice it. Especially multiple slices at the same time. Every slice you do needs 1.2x that in diameter on the shaft. Gear teeth would just snap off like toothpicks. To drive it would have to be a splined/hex shaft with multiple chain sprockets.

Nice job. Question. You have a lathe. Why didn’t you just use a piece of high speed steel in the right width to broach the key way while it was still in the lathe? It works so good in aluminum. And it is way more accurate then a file. I have even done it in steel. You just need to make extremely light cuts and do lots of spring passes.
