Ibor, be warned: ThomasPowers is our resident medievalist and more than willing to nitpick (in a friendly way!) about the details of material science history!

I don't think he's talking about coal Thomas, I think he likes standing down wind from old farts like . . . Oh Valdemar: we like having fun with our friends and tease each other regularly.

Ibor Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Thomas Powers,writing about the sulfur in the iron fiber thought of the smell of hydrogen sulfide which is intense, as well as the color of a red-brown. With me on the scrap you can still find a lot of iron.I like it terribly because he has a "soul" and the history of shoes .... but much more difficult than today, because of contamination or stringy.

ThomasPowers Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 You can get some sulfur when you are smelting iron from bog ores too; generally dealt with by roasting the ore before smelting . Charcoal smelted wrought iron shouldn't have any sulfur in it. Coal smelted wrought iron may have sulfur in it and so be hot short. Wrought iron does have a lot more character to it; but with the wide range of quality to it working it can be an adventure! I hope this translates well...

CTBlades Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Welcome to the forum. You just need to keep an eye on this guys, they are a likeable bunch of characters for sure and the collected knowledge between then is simply unmatched anywhere on the net. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
