4000 comments in, I'm not sure if someone else has already mentioned this, but pure copper is notoriously difficult to cast even into simple shapes like your gear. You really ought to alloy it with about 1% silicon or 0.25% phosphorus to make it more fluid and deoxidize the melt. You can easily order various "master alloys" of copper-silicon or copper-phosphorus to make alloying simple.
It was in English, is called metallurgy. Any metal object you use in your everyday life, from a fork to your car, was made in this language. Its a language far more common than English
*HEAT THE SAND BEFORE POURING THE COPPER* You heat your sand so copper doesnt get solidified as fast, and you melt the styrofoam BEFORE pouring the copper, so you can remove it fast enough to not impact the sand humidity. You can do this easily with a torch.
This was my first thought when he was complaining about the object cooling to fast. The reverse of this would help him with breaking all his glasses with liquid nitrogen pre chill them.
my thoughts were also to heat the sand in an often... Will melt the Styrofoam and raise perhaps they mould breaks apart as the moisture in the sand flashes to steam? can green sand be made with something like high temp coolant? when the water vaporized the only place to go is up the center columns...
I was thinking about an oven at first, but you destroy the sand's humidity also, what makes it stick together and not just fall like well.. sand. The idea of getting the sand moisture with another fluid with higher boiling point is also very interesting. I hope our favourite airliner finds a way to solve theese problems ^^
maybe, but these helmets would not be made to full scale, more like a Corinthian helmet paper weight, that and I don't think Grant is very knowledgeable in the ways of hammer forging
*_As someone who used to work a foundry your use of normal kitchen utensils and a trashcan lid make me laugh gloriously. Love it lol... Also word of advice next time just use normal packing foam. It burns away a lot faster._*
Household Styrofoam insulation resists burning and melting. Try using some floral foam or Styrofoam made for cheap food coolers but don't use Styrofoam with the occasional blue bead in it, also fire resistant.
agreed cheap white Styrofoam seems to work the best but I have had terrible results and awful luck with the floral foam, the kind I'm getting simply just doesn't burn! definitively check for those little blue stripes!
rock all of the silicates melt at around 1200 c they solidify around 600 c copper melts at 1085 c aluminium melts at 659 c brass melts at 900-940 so it probably wouldn't work
You know what I really love about this channel? How when Grant attempts anything, sometimes he doesn't get it right off the bat. That's important because it shows the viewers what kind of mistakes can be made and how they can improve off of the information given to them. Really a great channel.
If you were to make a steel (or anything that can withstand high temperature) version of that sandbox, would you be able to heat up the sand to a point where it is still solid, but allows you to pour the molten copper in and give it a bit more time before it solidifies, due to a smaller difference in temperature?
Actually, look up silicon dioxide, its actually got a very high melting point, to make glass you have to melt silicon dioxide to about 3,300 degrees Celsius, I honestly dont think that propane can get temperatures that high.
you should use a blowtorch to melt the foam out before you put the copper in if your doing something like this again so that your copper will join perfectly
I don't think so because the metal that's being cut would have less resistance than the nichrome wire, and the electricity wouldn't flow through the nichrome wire, and wouldn't heat it up... No. Unless it was already hot before. (No.)
jonathan garcia don't take my word for it, but I think, those bullet shells are made of copper. And why exactly bullet shells? Why not the metal, it's made of?
You could use this idea called Metal-casting Monday where you make a metal-casting project every Monday. I just like the concept of having a series that viewers can prepare for every week ans I think it would brighten up everybody's Monday for the beginning of school/work.
TheDarkalkymist ah ok. I've never done castings of any sort, neither sand nor Styrofoam. how do you attach vents to the box? is there even a boclx in typical sandcasting?
He should have made it a bit more strong, removed the styro, made a top box and pouring spouts so the copper would use gravity to push itself in and heated the sand before pouring.
not saying you're wrong it is just a hard way to make napalm. - formula - Gasoline (Octane) (C8H18) Benzene(C6H6) Polystyrene (C8H8) ----- where acetone is (CH₃)₂CO - --- there are many ways to make it. where you want the polystyrene to be consumed not just gelled, making more imperfections in the casting, he could have made a 2 part mold with risers to allow heat to be trapped and contaminates float away
I have seen brass casting done on PBS. They used wax and plaster to cast the mold. Object was fashioned from wax and suspended in plaster with an opening to the top of the mold. After plaster set up, molten brass was poured into mold and let cool down. After cooling down, plaster was smashed away and the brass object was all but done. Some trimming required. The use of wax worked as fuel to keep the metal hot while casting. Check it out sometime.
What happens when you pour hot metal onto cold metal. Will the bond between the two be any weaker or will it be the same as if both were put together at the same temperature?
It will be weaker, becouse the the crystalline structure of the second metal wont have many bonds to the other one. Its almost the same as if you were welding at low Amperes and welded too fast.
hey that should be ur logo. just take away the knobs from the gear on 2/3'rds of it and it'll look like a head with a crown(you could put eyes on it if you want)
If you ever decide to cast copper again, I have a trick I was shown a few years ago... When pouring the sand into the tray, mix it with wood glue, It will help the sand stay in place... You may also think about using kinetic sand(saw a video with aluminum) however it may still come apart.
if you would have had a layer of sand on top of the Styrofoam with a hole to pour in and a vent it would had filled a lot more even. Keep up the videos. Your channel is one of my favorites.
The truth is yes, it has been done and is even commercially available. The problem is it is a really specialized build. It also sounds like someone is mowing the lawn in your room. Linus did it
P1X3L4T0R : gaming & stuff you're*. If Grant used radioactive material to make that gear, he would die a few weeks or even a few days later. Go back to school,kid.
everything related to Liquid Nitrogen: Leidenfrost Effect. It doesnt cool as fast as u think so because of it. A molten metal cools faster in water than in nitrogen.
What if you bake the sand in the oven first with the styrofoam mold in it. To prevent too much loss of moisture in the sand use the wetter formula that you used before. That way as it heats up a little bit will evaporate and it still might maintain its structural integrity
I was referring to running cost. Electrodes will last a while, and can be found in lantern batteries. Also, the transformer can likely be salvaged from a used microwave that's "broken"
it would definitely shatter... the temperatures differences would cause the outside to shrink way faster then the inside and would crack and continue cracking until it just crumbles and explodes due to vaporized water... I don't think he would do that though since crucibles are so dang expensive
In theory what you could do instead of the foam is make a metal based mold that can withstand the heat of the copper so you can set the copper in. No issues with sand moving or causing issues.

Try to heat up the sand some how so the metal doesnt cool down as fast.
The sand contains water....
Quenton Gilman that isnt how sand casting works
hi
maybe he need to try to with candle wax or bee wax.
wax will not work in sand casting yoy neef somthing that disintegrates wax will not wax will work in plaster casting
Can your furnace get hot enough to melt rock? Then you would have your own lava for an even greater number of possible experiments.
Pretty sure that the arc furnace he built could easily melt rock, though I have no idea what you would use it for.
Different hot vs. cold suggestions appear in the comments very often. Ones that I see often are lava vs. liquid nitrogen and lava vs dry ice.
you could cast it maybe
rock all of the silicates melt at around 1200 c they solidify around 600 c
copper melts at 1085 c
aluminium melts at 659 c
brass melts at 900-940
so it probably wouldn't work
Josh Palmer Maybe arc furnace can ,but not this gas furnace.

King Yoshi the sand may crumble easier because the sand will dry out
Now this is what I call metal gear solid
Doge 472, when he said "metal gear", I was began to wonder if he knew he just referenced a machine from a game.
make glass from molten sand, like if you agree
or you could go to a place where they make sand and do a vlog there
that would be awesome
His metal foundry can't get hot enough to melt sand into glass. AKA Silicon.
The Gamer Freak I'm pretty sure that it's silica not silicone, but idk they may be the same thing
Actually, look up silicon dioxide, its actually got a very high melting point, to make glass you have to melt silicon dioxide to about 3,300 degrees Celsius, I honestly dont think that propane can get temperatures that high.
he can melt it whit electricity, actually that was what id been saying for two months
Man..this legend will be living on in our hearts..I'm tearing up writing that

Nikko A. that is only one right way how to use them 😁
ikr
you should use a blowtorch to melt the foam out before you put the copper in if your doing something like this again so that your copper will join perfectly
there was still foam left
shouldn't even need the foam... the foam should only be use to make the template on the sand.
THE GAMIN EAMONN The point of the foam is to hold the sand in place, but if the sand can hold itself than the foam is unnecessary.
How's your day? *Then*

Fredrik sand is actually more like glass then rocks.
I swear the sand metal casting videos are like my favorite type of videos
Can you use your Styro-slicer to cut low melting point metals and alloys like Pewter, Bismuth, Tin, etc?

I appreciate that it wasn't a fidget spinner but he kinda missed the whole point of green sand casting
JayVeeGaming I'm glad I wasn't the only one annoyed be that
JayVeeGaming do you mean he should've removed the Styrofoam before casting?
TheDarkalkymist ah ok. I've never done castings of any sort, neither sand nor Styrofoam. how do you attach vents to the box? is there even a boclx in typical sandcasting?
TheDarkalkymist so the thing that you want to cast is sealed into the sand?
He should have made it a bit more strong, removed the styro, made a top box and pouring spouts so the copper would use gravity to push itself in and heated the sand before pouring.
Does anyone else think the noise when pounding is satisfying

you should try spraying acetone over the foam it will dissolve it and just leave behind the imprint hopefully
Bleach Anddy no that doesn't work like that
That litteraly turns the foam into napalm
not saying you're wrong it is just a hard way to make napalm. -
formula - Gasoline (Octane) (C8H18) Benzene(C6H6) Polystyrene (C8H8) ----- where acetone is (CH₃)₂CO - --- there are many ways to make it.
where you want the polystyrene to be consumed not just gelled, making more imperfections in the casting, he could have made a 2 part mold with risers to allow heat to be trapped and contaminates float away
ok not literally napalm but a substance that acts a lot like napalm in the way it lights easily it is sticky and it burns for a long time
Lazer Wing how about... Napalm???

try melting the copper in the arc furnace and then cast the same gear with a few new copper tubes.
melt the Styrofoam like you did with the bottom of the crucible, and heat up the sand a little so it isn't cold enough to cool down the copper.
Who else was expecting an actual radiation emitting gear?

What would happen if you cooled off your metal castings with Liquid Nitrogen?
AtariMac 75 boom
AtariMac 75 it would explode from the temperature difference
thermal shock wouldn't be nice so in simple words, boom
What happens when you pour hot metal onto cold metal. Will the bond between the two be any weaker or will it be the same as if both were put together at the same temperature?
Pour*
lol ty
It will be weaker, becouse the the crystalline structure of the second metal wont have many bonds to the other one.
Its almost the same as if you were welding at low Amperes and welded too fast.
I'm sure it will be weaker, but will it fall apart if you try to pick it up? how much weakerr
It wont fall apart if you pick it up, but if you hit it with a with a hammer it very likely to fall apart.
Can you cast a king of random logo from metal? 😁

Is it possible to use liquid nitrogen to cool a PC?
No, liquid nitrogen would break the computer because it is way too cold
No the nitrogen would evaporate and pressurize the tube resulting in it blowing up
William Nixon Yes, but you need to create a specialized setup to do it and you need lots of insulation around the cpu inorder to prevent condensation
The truth is yes, it has been done and is even commercially available. The problem is it is a really specialized build. It also sounds like someone is mowing the lawn in your room. Linus did it
Scott Sarver your wrong people already did
you know how you cooled the gear down with water what would happen if you did it with liqid nitrogen??????
what happens when you quench hot metal in liquid nitrogen instead of water?
It would explode due to the severe temperature difference.
smile more it would cool slower from the leidenfrost effect
Any videos with a foundry are my favorite!!!
to those who thought it was actually radioactive....
Tactix 👿👿👿👿👿
I was hoping the material you use to make the gear actually radioactive...
😐😧
Who cares about radiation poisoning anyways?

No
Yes, besides the one guy who said no
I thought he was using Copper 67 for this
Nicholas' Trombone I'm sure not everyone will get that
Radioactive
A radioactive gear looking like it has melting just improves the idea of radioactive! :D
What happens when you quench hot metals in liquid nitrogen?
They explode due to temperature difference.
Fluffy Unicorns man that's crazy o would not have thought about that. Thanks!
I don't think it would explode or really cool it much due to the Leidenfrost effect.
oh yes it will, thermal shock is a major issue when it comes to material stresses, Leidenfrost only last for a few seconds at these temperatures
everything related to Liquid Nitrogen: Leidenfrost Effect. It doesnt cool as fast as u think so because of it. A molten metal cools faster in water than in nitrogen.
Grant Thompson, kindly make some metal holder for clay graphite crucible for pouring liquid metals
Definitely, once he can smelt steel.

hey grant can you make a metal detector pls
Sounds hard
not really you can make one from a radio and a calculator
Oxyze but is it powerful
How bout you make glass?! Then melt the glass in the arc furnace to make something cool!
What if you bake the sand in the oven first with the styrofoam mold in it. To prevent too much loss of moisture in the sand use the wetter formula that you used before. That way as it heats up a little bit will evaporate and it still might maintain its structural integrity
can't you melt copper with the carbon rods?
Yes but not as much
Damien kavanagh the carbon rod even melted rocks there should be no problem melting copper
yeah but his electric arc furnace is extremely small.
Notumengi grant have to use a better transformer which cost $$$... the transformer that he make is homemade using microwave
Make another gear and see if they work
Take all of your different metal melting foundries and test to see:
1:The most efficient
2:The cheapest.
3:The hottest
Have fun!
The plasma Arc furnace WILL be the hottest, and only uses electricity for "fuel"
epion660 And the electrodes
epion660 The microwave transformers can be quite expensive.
I was referring to running cost. Electrodes will last a while, and can be found in lantern batteries. Also, the transformer can likely be salvaged from a used microwave that's "broken"
did anyone else get super satisfied from his ramming?
What if you took the hot crucible and tried to put in into the water bucket?
Mr. J I think it may crack but I don't know
it would definitely shatter... the temperatures differences would cause the outside to shrink way faster then the inside and would crack and continue cracking until it just crumbles and explodes due to vaporized water... I don't think he would do that though since crucibles are so dang expensive
Do not use copper use bronze from bullet shells and stuff
Ali stone that's brass
Hax915 they're especially the same thing. Google it!
VanDodger No, brass is made with copper and zinc while bronze is made with copper and tin. They have *very* different properties.
Ali stone SHHHH
He already used copper
You should do some experiments with actual radioactive substances! Like if you agree
In theory what you could do instead of the foam is make a metal based mold that can withstand the heat of the copper so you can set the copper in. No issues with sand moving or causing issues.
can you make a blacksmith forge
CP crafts
Yes, that would be cool. He should also make a dagger with those copper. :D
