@@HeavyForge Absolutely- already realize your CFE additions are problematic for the water pattern- I believe my own journey begins this year- nice to see your info and growth!

I see this is quite an old video. Hope you looked up Al Pendray since then since he was the one that rediscovered and mastered Real Damascus Wootz. See you with an open crucible, really needs to be a sealed crucible to get the best possible Ingots. The work you have done so far looks awesome

There is a youtuber called FZ knives who does similar work. He uses/makes disposable crucibles.

First! Gotta use that blue glass which might add some cobalt into it. Promise it wont shatter upon forging lol. Oh man thats gonna look beautiful!

Fantastic effort mate 🤙 I can see you have really grasped the whole process very well with how you explain things and your knowledge, the rabbit whole only gets way deeper from here I will say with the various pattern you can achieve. WOW I am very impressed with how clean it comes out of the crucible I would even dare say cleaner then my own 😂 and frickin congratulations on getting some sorel that is no easy task at all. I'm excited to see part 2 and where and how you go with the hardest part (it's so fun but stressful) Best of luck mate 🤘🤘

Can you give some detail on the furnace you use? Thanks for posting the video.

@HeavyForge 2 жыл бұрын

It’s the devils forge furnace. I have made some modifications to it. 2” of kaowool insulation. Floor and lid also insulated and a coat of kastolite 30. Casted the burner flare and running a forced air burner.

I thought you needed a tiny amount of Vanadium to help the carbon defuse into the iron matrix. That might get you the dendritic structure in the ingot you are looking for.

@HeavyForge 2 жыл бұрын

Very small amounts (0.0X) of vanadium, chromium or other CFE are usually in Wootz steel. Cementite itself is a former as carbon % is so high in wootz. So vanadium itself is not necessary.

Vanadium helps the nucleation of dendritic structures in the steel

@@BatchCam Yes So do other strong carbide forming elements. Vanadium is not necessary for patterning.

@wongwingwengwung3910 2 жыл бұрын

a tiny amount of vanadium in sorrel metal is about 0,05%.

@@HeavyForge your ingots look fantastic! what is your name? thanks for the word on that. i suspected that was what you were saying about the vanadium not being purely necessary for the cementite. 👑 love, david
