Good night guys, in today's video I will melt 3 engines, I will show in the video the step by step of how I melt and disassemble the engines
and I will show that it is not difficult to melt the metals of the engines, but dismantling them takes a little work, and that is why its value in recycling is usually lower than the metal itself, pure...
Of the 3 motors, two were from old fans, and during the casting process I discovered that both were aluminum, the larger motor was from an old water pump and it was the only one made of copper.
this was my first copper foundry, I liked the test because I was able to take my melting furnace almost to the limit, and that was good to test it
By melting copper at home, I was able to purify the metal, thus preventing it from being sold at a bargain price on scrap metal.
Although the video is not a tutorial, in it you will be able to get a sense of how to disassemble a motor easily, so you can have access to copper, after that you will follow with me the copper melting process.
MELTING COPPER AT HOME | COPPER AND ALUMINUM ENGINE FOUNDRY
Always remembering that aluminum casting is very dangerous!!
THE FOCUS OF THE CHANNEL IS TO MEL CANS, SO IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW CAREFULLY:
I get these aluminum cans for a very low price with my girlfriend, instead of selling them for recycling, she passes them to me so I can melt the aluminum.
Many people have asked about the white powder I use when smelting aluminum, that is salt, the salt helps me to separate the aluminum impurities from the cans....
Is it worth melting aluminum cans? good guys, it all depends on what it will be applied to, it is always worth remembering that melting aluminum is my hobby, so my intention is not to sell, those who work with metal casting usually create objects, such as pans and utensils, some create ingots, others billet. .. it all depends on the metals market in the region.
Here in my city, the kilo of the aluminum can goes for 6.50Rs, I explained in the video, but if you are reading the description, I already know that melting cans you lose more than 30% of the total mass, this already causes a lot of difference in small amounts, in larger amounts the loss will be huge (more noticeable)
I recommend you melt cans only if you can get them at a good price, or for free, then you can make a guaranteed profit.
Another question that people always ask me is in relation to the gas used to melt the aluminum, in fact if the gas x oxygen mixture is good, the expense will not be so much, I hope in the future to have the necessary tools to make this measurement more clearly during the casting of metals.
I hope for more times to melt scrap, with different types of metals and etc, I'm looking forward to testing my furnace with copper, who knows next time, right?
