Well, my wootz ingots ain't liquid anymore

So do they belong here?

Because the funny fact is that in making wootz you normally don't see any liquid metal at all.

Welcome to the new forum Achim! We now have a forum for all things related to casting, smelting and alloying metals.

You got my curiosity up with the title of this thread. Tell us more!

I'm glad to see a smelting / melting forum, but when I saw the forum name I thought it was for that "liquid steel," stuff that some guy thought would be the next trendy thing some time ago.

J.L. Do you still have your giant double bellows setup? That would be a great pic to post again.

Hah! Yeah, I first thought of the amorphous stuff as well!


They should call it the "pick Achim's brain on wootz" forum.
