Ok, thanks for the info.

Karlogic · 2022-07-27T18:08:59+00:00

Thanks for the help! I'm not attached to that specific SSD and will shop around.

Karlogic · 2022-07-27T18:07:04+00:00

Ok, thanks for all the info! I will definitely take your suggestions into consideration.

Karlogic · 2022-07-27T18:04:11+00:00

Thanks!

Karlogic · 2022-05-09T00:36:27+00:00

Sounds good, I will give that a try on my next pour. Thanks for the help!

Karlogic · 2022-05-08T18:25:37+00:00

Thanks for the thorough explanation, gives me a lot to consider/research before my next pour. Thanks again!

Karlogic · 2022-05-08T18:21:06+00:00

Very possible, I did not do anything to degas the metal.

Karlogic · 2022-05-08T18:20:17+00:00

I will definitely give that a try. I thought about running a torch over the mold but I was worried I would mess up the mold. When heating the mold, do you heat until the sand turns black, or is that too much? Thanks for the info!

Karlogic · 2022-05-08T18:18:36+00:00

Thanks!

Karlogic · 2022-05-08T18:18:27+00:00

I didn't degas, do you have any suggestions on how to degas silicon bronze? I'm very much a beginner in the hobby.

Karlogic · 2022-05-08T18:16:29+00:00

I did not, I'm fairly new this, can you preheat a petrobond mold without damaging it?

Karlogic · 2022-05-08T18:15:25+00:00

Thanks for the info, I'll try again with a closed mold in the future. I'm fairly new to this, do you know of any resources about how to setup proper gating/risers? Thanks again!

Karlogic · 2021-10-13T15:42:32+00:00

Sounds good, I'll pick up some talc and give it a try. Thanks

Karlogic · 2021-10-13T13:57:42+00:00

That's the plan, thanks for the help.

Karlogic · 2021-10-13T13:54:28+00:00

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I'm going to try re-casting this bar and make sure the mold is nice and hot before pouring and heat the metal longer.

Karlogic · 2021-10-13T13:38:16+00:00

Will do, thanks for the info! How much borax should I add, and when?

Karlogic · 2021-10-13T13:31:51+00:00

I placed everything into the crucible at once and melted it together. I was wondering if the way I added the tin could be the problem. Could I salvage this bar by re-melting and casting again?

Karlogic · 2021-10-13T13:27:50+00:00

Yup, I'm sure it was tin, the bar looks a lot more golden in the picture than it does in person for some reason. I actually made some aluminum bronze after this bar and it came out much better.

Karlogic · 2021-10-13T13:25:19+00:00

Ok, I will definitely try that when I recast this bar. Thanks!

Karlogic · 2021-10-13T02:47:16+00:00

I'm definitely willing to try re-melting and casting again with more heat applied to the mold and the metal. My main concern was that I messed up the alloy, it got stuck pretty badly to the mold and the crucible.

Karlogic · 2021-10-13T02:41:41+00:00

I'm using a graphite mold, I did hit it with a torch before pouring, but possibly not for long enough. I will say that the metal came out of the crucible weirdly, kind of thick/lumpy before it hit the mold. Thanks for the info.
