Hey everyone, since it’s finally cooling off here in Vegas I figured I do another can melt so I have some more clean metal to work with on future projects. Enjoy and stay tuned for new metal melting videos! Have a great weekend and I’ll see you all soon! 👍🏻
You can get better quality aluminum and less slag if you use a little borax flux. I add mine mid-way through adding more aluminum to the crucible stir after heating then scoop off a little of the trash scale at the tip. The pours will look better, too, these look like burnt aluminum and can't be used directly in any product simply because you didn't add a few cents of flux powder to the product.
Howdy! Man, I rather dug the swords you had in your collection. Something like that would be awesome. More rounds would be pretty sweet too. That's just me though.
You might want to mark these billets as 'Dead Soft' aluminum, in case you find any 'cast' or even 'extruded aluminum' that would have some % of silica for improved casting. @12:30 It is dross, not slag. You can get ~5% more aluminum from dross if you flux again with borax, however after the experiment, never seemed worth it.
Why don't you fill the crucible to it's full? It's more fuel efficient and more satisfying, to pour a full crucible and got a full ingot, instead of half-assed ingots

Why the addition of salt, and doest it have to be a "light" salt?? Ty in advance.
So satisfying to watch the metal flow into the mold. Belated Happy Birthday Marine.

Can’t tell if his hobby is melting cans, or drinking beer😂
Nice brutha
10:00 not gonna turn fire off to retrieve the can?
How much propane does that take? I saw you used a 20lb tank, how much is left after?
Next time get two cans to hover 😁, I have to get that tongs stl file now that I have a 3d printer
Do you think you could cast all the pieces to make a fully metal xbox controller and put all the electronics back inside?
That would be awesome!!!
Hi!
Can I use Liquified Petroleum Gas or LPG instead of propane?
Btw. Big Fan!
Regards,
its growing
What is there still a little soda in the can

Because if you saw at the end, the crucible was cracked and didn’t want to risk breaking it and spilling molten metal everywhere.
Just wondering, did you just mimick bigcastD out right? Or do u you know each other... You should do something that seperates your style of content...
They're friends
they have met in person and have done videos together in the past
You can't even get his name right.its bigstackD
Who copied Who?
Waste of time making castings from cans. Just use precast aluminum.
