Hey all,
I've recently come across a large batch or 1.5" Malleable Iron lock-rings (nuts, threaded washers, depends who u are).
I'm wondering if anyone out there has ever worked with malleable iron before?
I know the rough details of it, it's a white cast iron, no good, etc,etc..... but I have been able to hot-cut, bend, twist, and shape one of these as a test. I found that at anything above a dull red or maybe up to an orange shade, it seems somewhat useable, above that it can crumble under the hammer.
Any thoughts or experience with this? I have 675+ of these.
