Home Casting Empty Home Casting

Post by assassin Fri Oct 13, 2017 3:10 am

How many people do their own home casting of metals?

In one way it is a good way to recycle items such as aluminium cans which are abundant waste in many areas, and even aluminium is an excellent material to cast as it is reasily cast to complex shapes and it only requires a gentle heat (by comparison) to melt aluminium and get it sufficiently hot enough to cast into some very complex or even very simple shapes.

Making a home casting rig requires little more that a metal bucket or similar which has a slot cut out in its side, a metal pipe inserting, and a mould inserted into the bucket to pour refactory lining around which secures the pipe in position, and an old hairdryer to attach to the other end of the pipe to blow air into the cast chamber, and as for fuel? most wood will suffice as will charcoal and the usual coal or coke as the air heats this fuel up to sufficient temperatures to melt aluminium. You will need a crucible to put your aluminium scrap into which needs going into the fire, and a decent pair of tongs to put additional scrap into your crucible and to remove your crucible to pour your scrap aluminium when it is molten and at sufficient temperatures to pour.

Considerable quantities of aluminium scrap are often available if you know where to look, apart from the aluminium drinks cans you have old engines from portable machinery to vehicle engines, heat sinks on power electronics circuit boards, extrusions and castings from brackets from domestic shelving, motor housings, integral motor/pump units from jet washers or compressors and even lightweight aluminium electric cables; there are many other sources.
