    In this video i'm melting a FULL mini trackdumper of scrap copper to solid ingots which are worth aprox 400$ with the current copper prices.
    I shredded the pieces that didn't fit in the crucible with my shredder to smaller pieces.

    Never forget to use an oil or similar viscose (non reactive) coating to prevent oxidation of the coppers surface! This will make sure the copper can be sold for full price as clean ingots are more valuable.

Having worked with lots of copper wire and pipe and knowing how it work-hardens if flexed more than a few times, I kind of have this gut feeling that quenching to rapid-cool isn't really a great thing to do. And ... that is an AWESOME shredding machine !
