Noah Tasker Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Bloomers and Buttons section or not. I have several pieces of steel laying around including some broken files and such. My question is could I put those into a crucible with some mild steel to get a larger piece with a more reasonable carbon content? I'm not asking for practicality, just curiousity.

Noah Tasker Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Thanks. Loved the NOVA special that you were in by the way. That was what got me thinking about smelting.
