Love Casting

Heat 2 of 3- Investment Casting of Steel in the research foundry at Missouri University of Science & Technology. I’m the person controlling the furnace and turning the wheel on the ladle.

In addition to making castings, we were also taking thermal readings from inside the first shell mold. You can see the white insulation running out of the container, which was used to protect the wires.

This one happens to include a segment at the end with Simon talking to me about proper ladle orientation while moving.

Max wax heat tool used for repairing and welding wax pieces. Used in our Jewellery program. Lost Wax casting. These battery powered heat tools work great and will last if used with care. We make our own tips to reduce cost and increase life.

This is the first casting in my homemade aluminum foundry. Approximately 5 lbs of aluminum was poured here which took about 2 hours to melt. The furnace draws 20A on 220VAC.
It was built from plans bought at http://www.dansworkshop.com/
The element was custom made for me at a pottery kiln shop, the body of the furnace is made from firebricks and commercial refractory. The tools for handling the crucible were made by myself. The amperage controller is sitting on the pink foam on the floor, I’ll be enclosing it properly but wanted to try it out first. The crucible was bought from Canadian Thermix, a really nice company to work with. The final furnace took about 6 months to complete, working on it every couple weekends, and I expect to get a lot of use from it.
