welcome back guys today is an excellent day because the sun is shining you’re
day because the sun is shining you’re
day because the sun is shining you’re here and we’re melting to the metal now
here and we’re melting to the metal now
here and we’re melting to the metal now in yesterday’s video I showed you how to
in yesterday’s video I showed you how to
in yesterday’s video I showed you how to make this thing this is our trashcan
make this thing this is our trashcan
make this thing this is our trashcan metal foundry that’s just lined with Kol
metal foundry that’s just lined with Kol
metal foundry that’s just lined with Kol and as you might remember it gets very
and as you might remember it gets very
and as you might remember it gets very very hot so today we’re going to put it
very hot so today we’re going to put it
very hot so today we’re going to put it to good use now I still have quite a few
to good use now I still have quite a few
to good use now I still have quite a few the brass ingots left from our brass
the brass ingots left from our brass
the brass ingots left from our brass knuckles project but what I am short on
knuckles project but what I am short on
knuckles project but what I am short on right now is aluminium you can see from
right now is aluminium you can see from
right now is aluminium you can see from my mini master swords and my failed
my mini master swords and my failed
my mini master swords and my failed Pokeball attempts all of my aluminium is
Pokeball attempts all of my aluminium is
Pokeball attempts all of my aluminium is used up in failed castings now I
used up in failed castings now I
used up in failed castings now I personally love the different looks of
personally love the different looks of
personally love the different looks of these metals but it does make me wonder
these metals but it does make me wonder
these metals but it does make me wonder what kind of result they would form if
what kind of result they would form if
what kind of result they would form if we mix the two together so the first
we mix the two together so the first
we mix the two together so the first step is to remelt this aluminium and
step is to remelt this aluminium and
step is to remelt this aluminium and cast new mini metal biscuits
cast new mini metal biscuits

[Music] that’s way cool I like that it’s cozy
[Music]
[Music] that’s big crucible it takes a while to
that’s big crucible it takes a while to
that’s big crucible it takes a while to bring it up to temperature
oh yeah turnabout
oh yeah turnabout our aluminum has melted so let’s skim
our aluminum has melted so let’s skim
our aluminum has melted so let’s skim the slag off the top and pour it in our
the slag off the top and pour it in our
the slag off the top and pour it in our muffin tray oh wow that’s gorgeous
there’s a lot of flag on the doctor it’s
there’s a lot of flag on the doctor it’s no good to us anymore
it’s all aluminum oxide
it’s all aluminum oxide [Music]
[Music]
[Music] and everything underneath that really
and everything underneath that really
and everything underneath that really good might be super hot
one successful transfer room war

[Music]
[Music] hahaha
hahaha
hahaha what happens if we take molten aluminum
what happens if we take molten aluminum
what happens if we take molten aluminum and pour it into a crucible that’s cool
and pour it into a crucible that’s cool
and pour it into a crucible that’s cool we’ll crack
we’ll crack
we’ll crack go
go

[Music]
[Music] all right cool transfer blade
poured a little bit later

[Music] Hot Stuff these aluminum Muppets are
Hot Stuff these aluminum Muppets are
Hot Stuff these aluminum Muppets are extremely hot right now so I got a
extremely hot right now so I got a
extremely hot right now so I got a little bit of water to cool them down
[Music]
[Music] is it possible to liquefy aluminum and
is it possible to liquefy aluminum and
is it possible to liquefy aluminum and liquefy brass and mix the two liquids
liquefy brass and mix the two liquids
liquefy brass and mix the two liquids together to form a new type of metal I’m
together to form a new type of metal I’m
together to form a new type of metal I’m no metallurgist but I am interested to
no metallurgist but I am interested to
no metallurgist but I am interested to see what happens so let’s fire these
see what happens so let’s fire these
see what happens so let’s fire these things up put them to the test
things up put them to the test
things up put them to the test I just finished warming up our small
I just finished warming up our small
I just finished warming up our small crucible and we’ve got our new aluminum
crucible and we’ve got our new aluminum
crucible and we’ve got our new aluminum muffins ready to go so let’s go ahead
muffins ready to go so let’s go ahead
muffins ready to go so let’s go ahead and mix them with the brass our first
and mix them with the brass our first
and mix them with the brass our first test is one aluminum muffin and one
test is one aluminum muffin and one
test is one aluminum muffin and one equivalent sized brass muffin how will
equivalent sized brass muffin how will
equivalent sized brass muffin how will these look once they’re meshed together
these look once they’re meshed together
these look once they’re meshed together let’s go find out
our brass is just melted you can tell
our brass is just melted you can tell that because the zinc is starting to
that because the zinc is starting to
that because the zinc is starting to oxidize and burn off that’s what the
oxidize and burn off that’s what the
oxidize and burn off that’s what the yellow is and that’s what all these
yellow is and that’s what all these
yellow is and that’s what all these vapors are coming out so probably means
vapors are coming out so probably means
vapors are coming out so probably means it’s melted and ready for pouring wow
it’s melted and ready for pouring wow
it’s melted and ready for pouring wow you think is burning gun fire
you think is burning gun fire
you think is burning gun fire yikes it’s actually glowing okay so our
yikes it’s actually glowing okay so our
yikes it’s actually glowing okay so our liquid is actually burning let’s go
liquid is actually burning let’s go
liquid is actually burning let’s go ahead and take that out
ahead and take that out
ahead and take that out [Music]
[Music]
[Music] surprisingly we almost got two biscuits
surprisingly we almost got two biscuits
surprisingly we almost got two biscuits back out of it amazing so quick update
back out of it amazing so quick update
back out of it amazing so quick update guys you might remember that brass is
guys you might remember that brass is
guys you might remember that brass is actually a mixture of zinc and copper
actually a mixture of zinc and copper
actually a mixture of zinc and copper and zinc has a relatively low boiling
and zinc has a relatively low boiling
and zinc has a relatively low boiling point so this stuff got so hot the zinc
point so this stuff got so hot the zinc
point so this stuff got so hot the zinc started boiling out of the mixture it
started boiling out of the mixture it
started boiling out of the mixture it actually gets hot enough that it can
actually gets hot enough that it can
actually gets hot enough that it can burn and combines with the oxygen in the
burn and combines with the oxygen in the
burn and combines with the oxygen in the air to form zinc oxide which is the long
air to form zinc oxide which is the long
air to form zinc oxide which is the long string stuff and it leaves behind this
string stuff and it leaves behind this
string stuff and it leaves behind this yellow residue that’s why in previous
yellow residue that’s why in previous
yellow residue that’s why in previous projects I’ve used a flux like Anton
projects I’ve used a flux like Anton
projects I’ve used a flux like Anton Roche peeler because that suppresses the
Roche peeler because that suppresses the
Roche peeler because that suppresses the oxygen and keeps the zinc in the
oxygen and keeps the zinc in the
oxygen and keeps the zinc in the material in any case we got this stuff

the bottom 100% aluminum if you were
the bottom 100% aluminum if you were aware of this already there’s a huge
aware of this already there’s a huge
aware of this already there’s a huge weight difference between aluminum and
weight difference between aluminum and
weight difference between aluminum and brass the brass is about three times

heavier but what I love about this is if
heavier but what I love about this is if you look at the coloration
you look at the coloration
you look at the coloration it’s almost got kind of a rose gold
it’s almost got kind of a rose gold
it’s almost got kind of a rose gold tinge to it it’s not the bright shiny

kind of interesting to see that a
kind of interesting to see that a hundred percent brass is very very
hundred percent brass is very very
hundred percent brass is very very resilient but once you start mixing an

aluminum it becomes very brittle so cool
aluminum it becomes very brittle so cool experiments guys let’s quickly recap
experiments guys let’s quickly recap
experiments guys let’s quickly recap what we just learned here today we took
what we just learned here today we took
what we just learned here today we took nuggets of aluminum and brass and we
nuggets of aluminum and brass and we
nuggets of aluminum and brass and we melted them down and mix them in a 50/50
melted them down and mix them in a 50/50
melted them down and mix them in a 50/50 ratio that made a new metallic
ratio that made a new metallic
ratio that made a new metallic composition that was extremely brittle
composition that was extremely brittle
composition that was extremely brittle but very very pretty and we were able to
but very very pretty and we were able to
but very very pretty and we were able to smash it down into a powder next we
smash it down into a powder next we
smash it down into a powder next we tried mixing 75% aluminum and 25% copper
tried mixing 75% aluminum and 25% copper
tried mixing 75% aluminum and 25% copper and we got a nugget that was very very
and we got a nugget that was very very
and we got a nugget that was very very similar to the aluminum itself just a
similar to the aluminum itself just a
similar to the aluminum itself just a little darker in color and a little bit
little darker in color and a little bit
little darker in color and a little bit heavier and finally we tried 75% copper
heavier and finally we tried 75% copper
heavier and finally we tried 75% copper and 25% aluminum which gave us a really
and 25% aluminum which gave us a really
and 25% aluminum which gave us a really cool rose gold looking nugget these are
cool rose gold looking nugget these are
cool rose gold looking nugget these are some my favorites because they look
some my favorites because they look
some my favorites because they look really cool but they’re still a little
really cool but they’re still a little
really cool but they’re still a little brittle and I was able to smash one in
brittle and I was able to smash one in
brittle and I was able to smash one in half we also saw that hot molten brass
half we also saw that hot molten brass
half we also saw that hot molten brass is extremely sensitive the air making it

is extremely sensitive the air making it burst into flames and sometimes explode
burst into flames and sometimes explode
burst into flames and sometimes explode making a mess all over your sidewalk so
making a mess all over your sidewalk so
making a mess all over your sidewalk so what happens when you try mixing brass
what happens when you try mixing brass
what happens when you try mixing brass with aluminum you get a wide array of
with aluminum you get a wide array of
with aluminum you get a wide array of new metallic compositions each with
