  • Is it even possible to use a stalagmite? I didn’t know until the end whether it would be possible to cement the stalagmite to the full depth in order to restore the burnt metal to steel. Cementation was carried out for six hours, carburetor - charcoal powder, activator - salicylic acid.

    On my patreon page, I began to explain the processes and secrets of my work. Topics already covered:
    1. Why do I add pepper to container Damascus steel.
    2. What do I sprinkle? Flux and its composition.
    3. How do I remove the container from the workpiece (container Damascus steel).
    4. Why am I drilling a hole in a container.
    5. Why do I sweep away the dross from the anvil with my hand.
    6. Why do I first forge some blanks on a tree.
    7. In what and why do I soak the blank before forging.
    8. In which granules do I place the workpiece after forging.
    9. What kind of white powder do I pour into the container.
    10. In what liquid do I develop the pattern on the blade.

      This is for English speakers. Shurap is Russian-speaking and in our language the first word is spelled the same in the phrases "hot pepper" and "sharp knife". So that's how he makes the knife "sharper".

    Hey question! Why does the hot metal flake up when it’s pounded?

    • @AnnLiesArtist
      @AnnLiesArtist Год назад +76

      That metal surface bonds with oxygen and becomes brittle, pretty much the same as rust.
      Oxygen bonds with metals easily, and even faster when that steel is heated. The resulting material is brittle and has a lower melting point, so it separates and flakes off. This is why forge welding or other forms of welding require a flux: the flux keeps the oxygen away from the hot metal so none of the corrosion mixes into the weld when it’s molten.

      На лохотрон похоже... Все режущие и конструктивные части из новой стали. Середина никчёмная из сталогмита...

    Hat's off, that's absolutely beautiful work, and a slick little shop you have yourself there. I do quite a bit of metal work, but haven't dipped my foot into metallurgy and forgings. I thought about melting down all the metal dust under a grinder once for kicks. This is about the coolest thing you could do with it that I'd have never even thought of. Thank you for filming it for our enjoyment.

      @@jesusislord6545 hey man here's some advice from someone who believes in god as well, if you want to spread the word what your doing can work it just annoys most people. I would try to find videos that try to have a more spiritual tone to share what you believe or a comment talking about their journey with God or one talking about God. What your doing is fine it's just not as effective also I'm guessing this is a bot and not a real person which is terrible because if someone does respond and wants to know more then their abandoned and feel as if you don't actually care. Just some advice and I hope you take it to heart and don't get offended by it
