It's amazing how much Copper you can get from crushing and smelting down a small rock of Malachite ore. If anyone has a better way of doing it, please leave us a comment on how to do that. PLUS - all the Copper we smelted down today we will be giving away ....how do ya like them beans. Next, we will turn that Copper into Gold using the Philosophers stone ....stay tuned .

2 things for a good copper bar: 1: you gotta top it off with flux when you reheat it, and 2, then you reheat it in the mold [typically in a refractory/heat-treating type oven] and let it sit there at the melting point for 2 hours, then really slowly let it cool back to at least the freezing point before letting it completely cool outside of the kiln/oven.

If anyone knows how to cast nice metal bars it will be the Australian guy from the bigstackD Casting YT channel. He made an art out of making metal bars from all sorts of scrap metal. He also shows how he does it, and how he gives the bars a nice finishing polish. I'm sure that if you watch his videos that you can learn from it. And besides that it is a joy to watch his videos.

@amefeu4259 2 года назад

To get a decent looking bar from metal, you should get your mold hot enough that it glows and keep it there until you are finished pouring, this allows the metal to stay liquid for longer so that bubbles rise up and out, and the liquid is able to level off. You'll still likely get some defects from the bar shriveling up in the cold, but it'll shine up very well.

@dionh70 2 года назад

I've seen other people also sprinkle some powdered graphite in their mold when they pour in their smelted metals. Does that make a significant difference?

@amefeu4259 2 года назад

@@dionh70 If you are using a steel mold or similar, it helps improve the finish and release of the metal, but if you use a graphite mold it's made of the stuff.

They say you learn something new everyday, and today I learnt all about copper. Loved it. Thank you so much Jeff. Years ago I can remember watching my dad melt down lead to make fishing weights. Always fascinated me. But, through dad's work trade, he ended up with severe lead poisoning! So, whenever he melted down lead, he had to drink a pint of full fat milk. This helped to neutralise the lead in his system. He's nearly 83 & having radiotherapy treatment (had 3rd dose today) but he does buy the fishing weights instead now!! Many thanks for all your hard work Jeff. Much appreciated. Take care.

Many years ago, I visited a copper smelter in upper Michigan. They poured the copper into molds made of copper. Immediately after the mold was filled, the whole thing was sprayed with water. Shortly after, the ingots were solid enough to be dumped out of the mold into a pool of water. The ingots were quite nice looking, being only slightly discoloured. Possibly a mold of the same material resulted in the ingots being so nice,

There's something you put in molten copper to keep it from absorbing nitrogen. Grant Thompson struggled with that. I know copper is more common and less valuable, but that color has got to be the prettiest and most unique in the periodic table. It all deserves to be cast into cool steampunk-looking machine parts or something.

I don't understand English. Now I use google translate. What I say may be difficult for you to understand. I apologize to you for that. Copper sulfide ore is smelted. Add copper ore and ferrosilicon/limestone to the crucible. The temperature is around 1200. Melting copper is inconvenient. The molten copper does not aggregate. A mixture of slag and copper. Why? Do you need to add more borax/soda ash? Or do you need something?

@oldduffergolf 2 года назад

First of all, Thanks for all your hard work and great videos. The most likely source for advice for cooking and pouring would be Jason. He uses a cone mold almost all the time. Large enough to hold all the stuff you are pouring. I've seen Dan Hurd, yourself, Brent Underwood and others pour bars with limited success. The one channel where I saw pretty good results pouring bars (silver) was Rob Finds Treasure. Robs copper bars look like bread also. I'd try Jason first. He helped Brent recently with lead and silver. Best wishes...oh yeah!!!

@dionh70 2 года назад

BigStackD is a channel where he smelts all kinds of recovered metals into ingots in his garage. His results vary, but he seems to use a variety of techniques while pouring, so his ingots vary as well.

@William_Hada 2 года назад

Heating your molds up before pouring would help to get rid of any moisture in/on the molds. Steam generated from that moisture would cause bubbles on the surface. A tiny bit of water will expand into a large volume of steam.

@darrenbrisson4336 2 года назад

He's in the desert how much moisture in the mold can there be ?

@William_Hada 2 года назад

@@darrenbrisson4336 If you have oxides on the mold surface and traces of other salts from previous use you have a potential to hydrate those salts with water molecules. This water is not just sitting on the surface but is actually locked tightly into the salt structure. The humidity in the surrounding air might be very low there but it is never zero. These salts can pull water directly right out of the air. That's how those silica gel packets work to bring down humidity. This " water of hydration " is so tightly bound in the salt structure it can only be freed with extremely high temperatures. Molten metals like copper are at a high enough temperature to explosively release the water as steam bubbles in the molten metal.

Try using a blow torch whn u pouring in to the mold thn keep the flame on it for a minute or two. Whn ive watched big industrial smelting plants on tv thay keep a flame on it, as it pours into the mold and after the pour for a minute and there bars come out spot on every time, I guess thats to keep the heat there to help with the flow and its more runny whn hot so it takes shape of the mold. Get the mold hot aswel so it don't start to cool as it hits the mold.💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊

@ut000bs 2 года назад

The first best thing I can tell you to get prettier bars is to heat up your molds. That iron sucks the heat right out of that molten copper and it freezes before it settles in the mold. It seemed you had the copper hot enough so I don't think it's that. When I say heat up, red hot isn't too hot, SON. 🤭 See you next time, Jeff! 🖖‍

Very high grade copper to get 33% ! That's how the old-timers handle oxides. They hand sorted to get best grade, leaving a lot on the tailings pile. I prefer vat leaching with 2% H2SO4 and cementing on scrap steel, similar to the old Kennecott Cementation cone. Refining was easier that way. Back in 1980's I had a process worked out, including Cobalt extraction, and a lease on the Columbia Mine near Goodsprings. At $0.65/lbs copper and $1.25/lbs Cobalt, I couldn't get investors. They were only interested in gold ! Times are changed now. Hummm ???
