Aluminum is very easy to melt, this is how I cast myself some real nice and custom sized aluminum bars for an upcoming project.
With very little effort I can have a perfectly sized aluminum bar for any steel tubing. After letting to cool for a good while the release process is not that hard, and with just a little sanding you have a great slide action between aluminum bar and steel tubing, perfect to make any kind of interchangeable arm you need!
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!
Suggestions and comments are welcome.

I'm not poor but this is definitely something I want to try out. Aluminium stock is crazy expensive here, but I can get tubes and profiles for free

I'm just a cheap MF. You had me at free too.

Now that came out of the form easiliy. Wasn't expecting that.

@MMitchellMarmel 4 года назад

Yeah, I was wondering that myself.

@DL24StaS 4 года назад

Aluminum expands ~50% more than iron/steel when heated, it also contracts more as it cools down. Now, if you try to cast an aluminum part around a steel rod to have a hole in it... good luck with removing the rod )

@verdigrissirgidrev4152 4 года назад

you can cast it around a sand core, there are recipes for that purpose

@DieselRamcharger 3 года назад

it shrinks as it cools. falls right out.

Black Beard Projects how many KG of aluminium was that you poured In the steel tube? Love ya work 👌

@jeangalmot62 4 года назад

Hi, before casting your aluminum, (or other), plan a mechanical system to vibrate the mold as you sink, as for vibrated concrete, the vibrations will strongly tamp your metal and prevent the formation of internal bubbles and other crevices. Good luck

@ahmadkamali8547 4 года назад

Exlent idea

@markfryer9880 4 года назад

Damn I never thought of combining the two processes, but if your metal is hot enough and you pour carefully I don't think that it is required. Make for a good experiment.

@benadams5557 3 года назад

Reciprocating saw without a blade, clamp the pipe to a bench and use the saw to rattle the bench

@indian.techsupport Год назад

great idea, but i defenetly dont want a vibrating mold, when im pouring hot metal

@dualxsurvival155 11 месяцев назад

Not sure if it was done but preheating the mold might be a good idea aswell not only to stop it from causing uneven cooling but to remove possible moisture buildup causing an explosion and spraying molten aluminum out the top of the tube

@Pushpin06 4 года назад

Spectacular welds, I love your humor in showing it like that :D

@madcapmagician6018 4 года назад

hiya BB, was noticing that you were looking at the inner weld seam on the square tube you used to cast the aluminum ingot. there is a way to remove that seam so you wont have that grove in your ingots... go look at fireball tool ... the guy there has a video on how to make a tool to remove that inner seam. its a handy dandy tool for sure =)

@TheDoItYourselfWorld Год назад

Happy I saw this video. I am going to be making round stock for coins. Been considering different ideas. I am going to try some black pipe.

@vikitheviki 4 года назад

First thing I thought of, perfect toolbar for a belt grinder 😁

@Nevir202 3 года назад

Pro tip: Make sure to stock a good amount of square tubing all from the same batch if you’re gonna do something like this for this purpose. Sometimes the welds are in different places and thus new stock of the same dimension may not fit, without further modification.

@paulkurilecz4209 19 дней назад

I would like to recommend that you clean the inside of the mold and preheat it in order to get a more sound casting.

@Sludgepump 4 года назад

Excellent as usual! Looking forward to seeing more of this.

@jjjrrr8885 3 года назад

Very cool. After watching many of these diy casting videos makes me wonder about internal casting anomalies creating weak points in the structure. I still hope to try this some day.

@albitzms 4 года назад

New tooling arm for the grinder- great idea.

@i_bumble_bee 3 года назад

@blackthornknives 3 года назад

Great idea

@TyrellKnifeworks 4 года назад

Very cool idea. I just made some more arms for my homemade 2x72 and I also use tubing and had to add some weld around the arm to make it secure. This would have been a decent idea... though my forge isn't setup for casting this much aluminum. Good tip for the future. PS - I was surprised as well it came out so easily. Did you add anything on the inside first?

@mondrota 4 года назад

would be even more useful when cast in a round tube as a lathe stock. Nice idea!

@EvoKeremidarov 4 года назад

I thought exactly the same thing.. however for what he needs to do with it is actually perfect..

@anotherguy9402 3 года назад

I didn't know that you can't put a square bar in a lathe.....

@Nevir202 3 года назад

@@anotherguy9402 Sure you can, but then you’re wasting about 22% of your material to turn square stock down to a round of the same size. Even if the aluminum is free, the fuel to melt it isn’t, so a 22% material waste is a 22% waste of fuel. Not to mention the wasted time on the lathe.

@sharmageddon2171 3 года назад

@@Nevir202 how did u come up with the 22% figure? Math used to be my forte about a decade ago but I've lost touch and would love to know

@Nevir202 3 года назад

@@sharmageddon2171 a 1x1 square obviously has an area of 1. A circle of a diameter of 1 is pi • r^2 which in this case works out to 0.78.... That makes figuring out the percentage easy as you’ve set 1 as 100 percent, and anything below the decimal automatically becomes the percentage. So a round bar of the same diameter has a surface area on the end of 78% of the square, or 22% less. As the length is irrelevant to this you don’t have to worry about the third dimension for these calculations at all.

@Vault57 4 года назад

Well that was a pleasant surprise. I did not expect the bar to release as easily as it appears it did. I would love to see you cast a shorter bar with the mold preheated to about 100-150 C. That way if it sticks it should be easier to melt out a short bar. Now I am really bummed that I don’t have a legitimate shop with some machine tools. Guess I will have to make do with my garage, a claw hammer and a hand drill...😕 And thank you for the tutorial on something that I had wondered about, your proof of concept was enlightening.

@jery2847 Год назад

my favorite part was watching you beat it out

@feelthepayne88 4 месяца назад

For a tube that long you really need to preheat the mold. You can see where the first bit of the pour began to cool and solidify as it ran down to the bottom of the tube, and you can see that the bottom of the pour cooled much too quickly.

@MarcelDiane 4 года назад

You can buy square and round stock without the seam. That would make it easier to remove.

@daramorga4737 4 года назад

@funksterdotorg 3 года назад

These long bars seem to come out pretty well, only a bit "lost" to shrink defect at the top. Have you tried making short, wide shapes (e.g. a 25mm thick 150mm dia disk) open faced into a steel mould? Just wondering how much would be usable.

@matthewwarfield4302 4 года назад

@klab3929 4 года назад

Always preheat your form! this is a metal casting rule. If you don't not only steam bubbles can form in your casting and cause imprefection it can also splash and explode molten metal around. You never know if the mold is moist or has small ammounts of water on it even if it sits in a dry environment.
