Welcome to my journey in
Welcome to my journey in figuring out how to make a crucible for melting aluminum cans that actually works. After shooting this, I learned how to tell if a fire extinguisher is steel or aluminum- use a magnet. Also when I cut the extinguisher, steel will spark and the aluminum will not.
The steel bottle crucible lasted for about 4 sessions, then it developed small holes in the bottom. My next step is to use a cast iron crucible to melt the aluminum in. This is perhaps what I should have done in the first place! I've been looking at various antique shops, yard sales, and flea markets and have now collected 4 or 5 options for a much longer lasting crucible.
