I found 127 kg of scrap aluminum on my property and melted it down into large ingots

- While clearing out the junk on my property that the previous owners left behind I put aside all the aluminum that I found. In the end I had 127kg of scrap aluminum. I sort the aluminum in grade I and grade II. Grade I are cast aluminum parts. This means that this alloy is more suited for casting resulting in less shrinkage and deformation everything else goes in Grade II.
To melt the 127kg it took me roughly 4 hours and each ingot weighs roughly 10kg - Развлечения
Dude. I can’t tell you how happy I am to see a video of yours pop up in my feed.. Man, honestly thought you were dead.
Man, I appreciate you coming back and making these videos. Thanks for making~
I would say welcome back. Buy last time I did. You didn't show up till 5 years later.
I hope to get the new workshop usable this year so I can start making more videos
Welcome back king, glad to see you
AYOOOO!!! Welcome back, old friend!
Welcome back, mate! Glad to see you back, been too long
Well done on this pour, Good to see new vid from you man. I been watching you for years. Keep the vids coming.
You either live in a junk yard or your 'property' is so expansive that has TV's and motor scooters that are older than my grandfather laying around as if it were untouched like something out of Chernobyl. I LOVE the scale you are doing with these melts...its very impressive. But.. help me understand the 'property' because, thats nuts on the amount of material..
damn, welcome back dude!
Very impressive, I haven't seen this type of sand mold with no flask before.
Happy to see your return, you are one of my favorite channels from way back when
Are you still alive, we were thinking that you passed away 💀
I get that a lot but simply the new workshop is taking up all my free time and I can make videos when it is to cold for building
@@mpdragon6295 it’s good to see you though, a lot of RUclipsrs are leaving the platform and you’re one of the big metal casting channels that started the whole hobby
Welcome back my man! Glad to see you posting!
Great to have you back!
ALRIGHT!! Good to see you back!! Keep up!! Cheers from Brazil!!
I’m glad you’re back keep up the hard work
Dude, u r alive!!! this is so cool!! WELCOME BACK!!!
Great video... Keep making them... they are awesome...
Welcome back! What is the next step with those ingots?
I have a large project planed where I will need more grade I aluminum
Good to see you back man but that music was very repetitive
Awesome video
I love your stuff! Please know that your work is appreciated and enjoyed internationaly. Look forward to see what you can make with it.
The only thing I would suggest is a different music track. This one is driving me mad with the repetitive sounds.
I'm so happy to see your videos again, MP Dragon! Thanks again for filming and editing everything! I know that it can take a huge amount of time producing these videos.
By the way, what's the name of the song used in the background?
Your crucible is bigger than my furnace!! 😂Nice ingots! Good to see you again 👍 👊
Oh and you spelled Aluminium wrong LOL 🤣
Yay! New video i tought u had gone :c
You make people like BigstackD look like kids, lol.
Really educational how much absolute tradh came out of the absolute tradh that you put in (re grade 2). :-D re grade 1, I think you could have done a little better in 2 or maybe 3 ways: 1. Clean the materials of organic substances and other crap eg light sand blasting or degreaser depending on the contamination. 2. Don't mix diecasting alloy with casting alloy, not the same AFAIK and the mixture is undefined. 3. Feed nitrogen or argon into the crucible through a ceramic tube while hot, without oxygen no oxides can form - this is very much the maybe since turbulence would minimise the effectiveness if it would even help at all. Neat process though. Big gear for a home shop, inspiring.
Trash came out as tradh twice in a row, typo central. Sorry.
Gosto desse projeto ai
Отличные заготовки
Need a huge copper melting this way!
nice
What's happening in the dross pan starting at about 10:35 ? It slowly burns its way through the whole pan like some kind of thermite reaction and it gets way hotter / brighter than even the molten metal in the crucible.
I think that was magnesium
Tell us about the molds you are using here.
as you said you separated the copper junk - copper has a different color. but how do you know any piece is not zinc? zinc is a similar color and melts before aluminum
I sort it by eye. if something doesn't look like aluminum I don't melt it and if zinc gets mixed in that isn't that big of a deal because it doesn't make the casting brittle
That's like $140 worth of aluminum
Is that the old water tank furnace?
Yes that's the one that I started with
@@mpdragon6295 way bigger than i thought😄
I produce tons of aluminium waste every week, it would keep you busy!
