Rkam Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I'm trying to figure out how to get the right MPa ( or pressure) for smelting. Any way or where to start will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 try starting in the foundry/melting section rather than the photo gallery, I will relocate your post there, also pressure for what Ore you're using will help, hard to answer with out giving us any details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Use a double boiler with the copper kettle out of contact with the boiling water, stir constantly. Tempering chocolate is tricky or it'll break. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Are you asking about the air supply or smelting in a sealed system? (And are you really interested in smelting ore into metal or did you mean melting metal for casting?) These types of questions require a LOT of details. The inlet pressure for a blast furnace that's 100' high is MUCH greater than for a short stack Scandinavian bloomery furnace that was originally hand powered air through bellows!

Steve Sells Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 since the OP has returned to IFI a few times since starting this thread, it appears he has no intention of replying to any questions on his own post for what ever reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Or is still researching how to ask their question in a way that makes sense and allows for a good applicable answer. We all have a lot more "context" in our heads that we need to remember to provide to others when asking about something. For example "Can I lift a rock" is too broad to answer compared to "Can I lift this rock that Crushed my D6 Bulldozer?" Some people get embarrassed when they realize they have asked a question without enough information in it to be answerable and avoid it. I have a difficulty in that I often see many more possibilities in questions where the original poster may only see one straightforward possibility in their question. Why I am often asking for more details. (Now I can pity my teachers who had to deal with me pointing out that their test questions could have multiple answers as they did not constrain them properly!)

Steve Sells Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 since he asked about smelting, I asked what ore he was using. I didnt think it was that difficult of a question to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Well I'd say about 3/4 of the people asking about smelting really mean melting in my experience. Asking which they meant is a good way to save time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deimos Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Steve, that video is amazing/disturbing, politically correct did not exist in that time. Its always such a joy seeing the Curmudgeons react to someone who has no idea what they are asking or reading the "read this first" section (maybe it needs to flash in large friendly letters, 2 points if you know where that is from) Making hollandiase is easy, just tell the wife that if she really loves you she should make it.
