This is just a bunch of regular nails and I really want to try and liquefy them. Normally this would be pretty difficult, but I bought this little induction heater on eBay, which should be able to do it.

One tip. Don´t use graphite together with steel. Steel and carbon can alloy, so the molten steel will eat away at the graphite and destroy the mould, while at the same time the steel will alloy with the carbon and turn into cast iron. For the same reason you shouldn´t use diamond cutting and grinding tools with iron and steel, because its going to quickly destroy the tool as the diamond is basically ripped apart on a molecular level by the iron.

@dino3046 Год назад

Nice explanation mate.

@kylerivera3470 Год назад

Probably the most interesting thing about chemistry is that you need to be careful about what you use to hold the materials since the wrong container could have a reaction with the chemicals.

@mobuildsstuff Год назад

Never thought about it that way, but its kinda obvious in hindsight. Ty for sharing

@pattheplanter Год назад

You will also get more control of the final alloy by excluding oxygen. In steel manufacture you have a reducing atmosphere. In this case probably the easist way would be to do it in a nitrogen atmosphere from a bottle. Though steel nails aren't usually the nicest steel to start with.

@professorwilhelm Год назад

A tip if you ever want to melt/heat more Iron/Steel in the future. Once Iron (and Steel) get hot enough, they start shooting out UV rays in order to release the amount of energy they have. Looking at molten Iron can have the same effect as looking at the sun, albeit to a lesser degree. It is still a good idea to use eye protection that is tinted properly to deal with UV rays when metal working with Iron or Steel.

@jackmclane1826 5 месяцев назад

Hey mighty professor wilhelm... how much UV radiation is here? I can tell you: It is pretty much zero. It needs to be at least twice as hot that UV becomes an issue. The pain is IR here. So if you call yourself "Professor" and say anything about this topic: At least you should have paid attention to physics classes.

@drrocketman7794 Год назад

@LordWaldemar yes. It's a full-spectrum black-body electromagnetic emissions source, but yes, you are correct: it's mostly IR. There is enough UV radiation to be a concern if you're melting metal frequently; for non-ferrous metals, I'd always wear good UV-rated sunglasses. For iron or steel, or larger brass melting, I'd wear welding goggles though. Even if I was just welding with a torch, or using a plasma arc cutter, you could still get "sun burn" just from the tiny flame.

The color changing is always so awesome. There you can tell how hot the steel is, 200-240c is yellow, then comes little bit red, then violet at 280c and then blue at 290c. If you'd stop heating at that point, they would retain their color, but it's only surface-deep unfortunately. You can even do that in a household oven, as most get to 300c. The sparks you see, are possible to read the material composition from, but i'm not that skilled.

@SuperTrunkspace Год назад

typically with a spark test you're just looking for carbon content. The hot carbon in the spark will combust when it hits air, so you'll see sparks breaking apart in the air.

yup, that's a big problem in steelmaking.

It's referred to as "killing" the steel, because it goes from being very sparky and active to very.... dead.

Induction heaters are great. We use one in work to heat machine tool holders. Basically the end that the cutting tool goes into is slightly narrower than the shank of the tool being put in and the induction heater heats this end to expand it (in 2.5 secs) Put the tool in and it shrinks to grip the tool when it cools. Necessary for the 30k rpm they run at

@JAndersonGhost0326 Год назад

Depending on how you cool it, you can end up with completely different properties in the metal. Steel that is cooled slowly becomes annealed, making it slightly softer and easier to bend, while quenching it in salt water quickly will make it harder and more brittle. If you ever see blacksmiths quench a sword into a bucket, that's what they're doing; hardening the metal so it holds an edge longer.

@Heiryuu Год назад

To add to that at least in knife making we tend to use a oil rather than water, since the water cools the metal too quickly and can cause stress and cracking in blades.
