Experiment..
The temperature of the liquid iron must be below 1083° Celcius because the copper electrodes did not melt.
I used dishwasher soap again to trigger the process.
It looks a bit like lava with it’s elasticity.
Adding salt didn’t create any special effects or colour of the flames.
Watch the ammeter pointer jump, when the electrodes are moved. The base load is around 20 Ampères at 240 Volts.

Note of caution !!

This experiment is done with 240 Volts mains , so utmost care has to be taken when trying it out during experimenting with this exercise.

I’m in the process of sourcing carbon rods so more tests will follow, with an arc furnace set up.

The mold is made in a steel flask using an oil based foundry sand called PETRO-BOND. This is an ancient process, but is still used today and is highly automated.

This foundry has 2000 Watt electric power and need electric temperature regulation. I do not regulate electric power and teater was overheated :( Do not let heater’s temperature increase more, then 800 C.

It is interesting to see that with this iron sand the conductivity is not super.
With an insulation tester the reading across the electrodes is 500 k.ohms.
To trigger the process some Sunlight dishwasher liquid was used.
It surprised me how well the plastic container stood up to the job, although the plastic became very hot and soft and caught fire later on.

The device is a 1200 Watt CalRod heating element embedded in a Perlite / Furnace Cement (4:1 ratio) refractory. The crucible is a ceramic jar I found at home, it holds 700 mL. The temperature is somewhere around 900C (1650F) or higher… Spent less then $50 dollars to make it.
