FZ making knives is producing crucible steel with a wootz pattern all the time using all kinds of modern high carbon steels that are plated with Chrome vanadium such as bolts, nuts, bearings, razor blades, and many other things. It may not be true wootz, but again the bullets are almost always successful and very beautiful in their patterns and very hard yet durable after heat treat. He often answers questions in his comments regarding what he puts in. He even shows the heat treating process. Maybe you could get some ideas from him. However he uses a brick furnace with charcoal and Coke for heating.
this is the only video ive seen on RUclips where somebody has fully melted steel. this is unbelievable. you've more than deserved a sub... have you ever considered recreating the puddling process? the last frontier for hobbyist (even though you can't really be called a hobbyist, it's just that you don't have an entire factory worth of machinery at your disposal) foundry work is melting malleable or low carbon iron, which requires even higher temperatures than steel. could this be done with your setup? also, where did you learn all of this about how fuels behave? ive never heard of your commentary about luminosity in flames.
I am pretty sure that just about everyone who has attempted pattern welded damascus has had at least 1 attempt that they just want to give up on and use as scrap. I wouldn't consider there to be any shame inherent to failure.
Could you set up a hopper with pulverized coal and use that instead of diesel? I'm always afraid of blowing stuff up but i know pulverized coal burners work in industry. could i just build a hopper full of coal and let it flow into the tube like you're doing with diesel?
Pulverized coal would be more prone to exploding than diesel. Diesel isn't very volatile, while it is pretty easy to create a cloud of coal dust. Literally anything that can burn becomes a fairly significant hazard once it is pulverized, flour and sugar are both also fairly significant explosion hazards if they are ever mixed with air
@@garethbaus5471 It's moreso that I don't think it can reach high enough temperatures. But I know coal can. And powdered coal burners in industry can get Extremely hot. I want to be able to actually Cast steel, not just make wootz.

I love the shuffle walk!
I'm about to attempt my first wootz, while doing a bloomery burn, too.
Good info!

Yeah, he probably has figured out most of the issues the hard way by this point.
any chance you would be willing to do a build video showing how you have the burner setup?

Do u think just propane would be able to get the metal to a melting point?
I must have missed it but how long do you let it melt generally besides testing for chunks
How many times do you use the graphite crucible?
Sacrilegium a open crucible
Can i buy sir 🙏
Aku sangat ingin bisa membuat pisau dengan bahan seeprti itu

Looks like the vacuum line came off?!

@@garethbaus5471 Very true. This is what prevents me from trying to come up with a powdered coal burner. Real danger there.
@@bilbo_gamers6417 If diesel is too volatile for you, than used motor oil or fryer oil might be options.

@@bilbo_gamers6417check out induction heaters. There’s a video on RUclips of a bloke in Australia using one to melt steel for anvil casting.
Bet it was Chad Nichols Damascus wasn't it😂
Hahahaha😂
