We have reached the seventh cube for the element cube collection: Cast iron! Made from a pair of disc brakes, which was quite a challenge to get melted due to cast iron's high melting point.
As something new the cube is engraved using electro etching, where an electrolyte of vinegar and table salt is used. The power supply is set to 12V and draws around 500-1000 mA. Please remember good ventilation when doing this.

You can us yellow mustard too, works well to etch iron or steel. Just cut out a stencil smear a layer on and wait about 15 minutes for a dark etch.

Thank you for this video. I was surprised by the time involved to melt the cast iron. The electro etching was fascinating to watch. The girlfriend is quite a catch.

I think the iron got hardened and more brittle after quenching, you should probably temper it before cutting

How did you make the steel melting stove and what do you use as fuel?

You should try pouring it into a thin sheet and decarbonizing it to turn it into regular iron. I haven't seen anyone do this.

Is there no reason to clean it a lot? If you soak it in a light hcl solution before melting would it be a higher quality mix?

hello, what kind of crucible you use to melt iron? actually i heard about the silicon and graphite crucibles degrades easily when it reaches the 1500°. Thanks for your help

Hi Danycage, we used a sacrificial crucible of unknown brand as this was a one time experiment to see if we could reach high enough temperatures to melt cast iron :)

It's a mistake it says 1538 c that's pure iron, cast iron that we used melts at around 1200 c. We used a cheap china clay graphite crucible.
