I believe you can melt the copper... just a little different than you did. 1. Make sure after heat is applied for a while that you add flux, such as Borax. Sprinkle some on the hotter metal, not when it is cold. I have heard that Borax will help lower the meeting temperature of the metal while providing protection against oxidation during the melting. 2. If you can, use bricks to reflect the heat back the crucible, or at least shield the crucible and flame from air drafts. Without a crucible, and only attempting to anneal some copper, I was able to melt and fuse stranded copper. I only was using old, used exterior house bricks as a platform and three sides. It was winter time in North Central Texas, so not hot, and probably around 40° F outside.

Was exactly my thought, and I’m going to try it later this week. I think at least a good tablespoon of borax will give a good pool to protect the metal from creating an oxide layer…you’ll just have a slag/crust you’ll have to bang off once you pour it out.

@tammygurl64 2 года назад

This was interesting.👍 I'd love to see you redo this experiment. Here's why... I may be wrong and you probably can't melt a lot at once but I honestly believe you would have been successful IF you'd used smaller/thinner pieces or piles of copper and fluxed your crucible with Borax. I know for a fact 20 gauge copper wire will melt with a butane torch because I've made balled copper head pins for my jewelry using a butane torch (aka chef's kitchen torch). The pieces you were trying to melt were just way too thick to reach a liquidus state using your torch so maybe use bits of 20 gauge or smaller wire. As for fluxing, I just noticed you didn't flux your crucible with Borax (on camera anyway) before you started. Anyway, again... excellent demonstration!👍 I look forward to a redo if you are up for it. I'm very curious. Either way, thanks so much for sharing!! 👍😊

@fireandcopper 3 года назад

I've had limited success using wood as a crucible, just carbonize the surface first. I find swirl head torches are much faster and hotter, but use more gas. The tri-webbed flame is like an intermediate step between swirl heads and normal pencil tips. A silver swirl or a jumbo swirl will also use all the oxygen up in the flame and help reduce oxidation

@sticksandstones1885 3 года назад

A lot of places don't like to buy melted material.the reason being is they don't know what additives you may have added to it. They also know like when it's a copper pipe they know that it's been manufactured to spec. Are the places that do by melted material normally hit it with a analyzing gun to let them know what material is in it.

@jaycousland9835 3 года назад

Pouring good oxygen and hydrogen free copper is a challenge even for experienced foundrymen.Alit if guys will not pour if it is cloudy outside,because the water vapor will cause hydrogen bubbles.Some use charcoal over the melt to scavenge any free oxygen. Then you want to pour a test cock to ensure you don't have gassy metal. And because of coppers incredible conductivity,you got to out more heat into it,than is being carried away,which you found out!Keep casting!

@dennishinkle5010 3 года назад

@conorharford5117 3 года назад

Hi Sean when you get your little furnace don't run it to long. I did and now it trips out when I have it to high for copper. I can still melt brass with it though

@dadegroot 2 года назад

I'm not entirely surprised. Copper conducts heat very well. so while you got some of it up to near melting, that heat was being pulled away to the other end of the copper and dissipating. It's why copper is used in heatsinks. You could definitely do it in a coal/coke forge, but for gas, you'll want an insulated furnace to trap the heat in.

@whitebeard420 3 года назад

Bro, where are you getting this big ol crucible? Also I have been trying to alloy copper and aluminum and I'm using a little crappy ceramic crucible and the metal is like.... disappearing? I have no clue where it's at, it isent in the crucible, it didnt go through the bottom or anything. I'm using oxygen acetylene torch, do you have any clue where or what I'm doing wrong? I was trying to do a sand cast with the alloy, but couldnt get it to form or pour.

@shenyathewelder9695 3 года назад

This shows you can use a crucible and tortch for copper/bronze smithing, though not casting. This is still very valuable information, at least to me.

@tipxking9944 2 года назад

You can actually melt it in that crucible. Not sure if anyone pointed it out in the comments but I did the same thing with alot of different metals and the common denominator is that the heat is dispersed through the bottom of the crucible aas the bottom gets hot it is also cooling down. So unless you have something on the bottom of the crucible to keep the bottom of the crucible's heat endothermic then this method is indeed useless.....I went through a lot of gas and products and sleepless nights to get to this conclusion. Hope this helps anyone reading this. 🤙🏾

@jamescates9771 3 года назад

If you get into making different bars or coins it may be neat to have a variety of metals. When you are out dumpster diving just take the tabs off the soda cans you come across. You would be surprised how quickly it will amount up to fill your little crucible. The tabs are better to do than the cans, much cleaner. Also you being in a garage you may want to try some old wheel weights for lead. Just some thoughts. Good videos, keep them coming. Blessings

@robertfijimcg Месяц назад

i haven't done this with copper, only aluminium, but having 2 or 3 burners on at the same time really makes a big difference

@ganeapaul-marius7121 Год назад

From my experience,no and even so,i would not recommend melting copper with gas if you want to cast bronze or do some hammer work with it. I am melting bronze in my apartment kitchen using propane and a turbine (lower propane psi=lower gas consumption/lower costs) in a stainless steel foundry made by me and even so,i got lots of problems because i don't make only castings but forge cold bronze too. Copper/bronze has to be protected from air and other gases,this is why a charcoal foundry is the best (charcoal burns all the gases and oxigen,creating carbon monoxide inside the foundry). As a bronze/silver/gold smith,using propane is the worst possible way to melt metals without using borax or other methods of protecting those metals. If you have inside space or outdoor space, building a clay foundry with a turbine (like a smith's foundry) is really easy and the most efficient way to melt metals and remember,good quality casts are made with the metal protected (borax or crucible cover)

@perfesser944 Месяц назад

You might want to make a little cave with bricks to place your crucible in. That way, the reverberation of heat upon the burden will improve the efficiency of the process. BTW, is that an ashtray you are using as a crucible?

i melt my non-ferrous metals in one of those crucibles. hold the torch up side down, and start with smaller batches. Dual gas torches are definately easyer, but a single gas can do it. Just hold it in an upside down position and if you can cover the melt, it also goes faster.

@Knate1104 2 года назад

Correct me if I’m wrong but would it work if you used less copper with the same torch? Copper melts at 1085°C or 1984°F. That MAP gas should put out a 3700°F flame. Maybe repositioning with the hottest part of the flame, just above the tip, impacting a single one of those bars of copper. Just a thought idk much about melting metal tho.

@tammygurl64 2 года назад

I agree. 👍 I hope he will redo this experiment using much thinner pieces of copper while strategically positioning the flame to its hottest point because I know for a fact small bits of copper will melt with a small butane torch.

I actually tried this before watching your video and I was somewhat succesfull. I managed to make really small bars (around the size of thumbnail and half centimeter thicc). I did it using only gas blow torch. Other important thing is that I only melted wires and I used a really small crucible and I had similar problems that you had: It was hard to melt this copper and to take it out of crucible. I tried to make a one big nugget and on top it was nice but when I managed to take it out of crucible it turned out that wires on bottom didnt melt.

Mapp Gas is able to reach a temperature up to around 2925oC in an oxygen environment. I've seen gold melted using a blowtorch many times (mostly by sreetips). Does the extra 38oC make so much of a difference that it's not possible, and if so why is Mapp Gas claiming to reach a temperature of 1000oC higher and still not be able to melt it?
