DeepwaterForgeWorks Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 A while back I got hold of some fence brackets and such from my high school. They were throwing them out and I took them because I figured they had be mild steel. Without being able to remove the coating I thought I could burn it off, I put one into the forge and it had a yellowish color to it and produced green Flame. I instantly pulled it out, but was wondering what it could be? Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The chain link fence hardware (strapping to hold the fence to the pipe or the flat bar for the same process) is galvanized to keep it from rusting. 2-3/8 in.

DeepwaterForgeWorks Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Thank you for the heads up, I'll stray away from using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 You can use them, just be sure to remove the galvanized coating with a vinegar soak first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
