smellsofbikes: aluminum crucible: welded steel, 10x10x10cm, full of dross after a pour of some really dirty anodized aluminum.
smellsofbikes: lousy pic down inside the furnace, with some molten aluminum that leaked
smellsofbikes: aluminum ingots. bottom left is still molten enough it has a mirror surface
smellsofbikes: heatsinks, one untouched, one partly melted, one almost totally melted. These were all ones that fell out of the crucible before they melted, because I overloaded it.
