Jan Ysselstein 102 Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) The pit is sill full of charcoal, rain is coming our way...I would like to exit the iron making process by using up all remnants of ore and charcoal. If the rain is robust. I may give steel making a shot. Making steel is a bit trickier than cast iron as steel making requires slag management. This run is not to be due to other priorities.

Alan Longmire 3,682 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I found this article the other day, and this seemed to be the most appropriate thread in which to put it, as it is about Konasamudram. The short version is, in 2018 a guy found 60 ingots and a bunch of crucible fragments. A_journey_of_over_200_years_early_studie.pdf Link to post Share on other sites

Jan Ysselstein 102 Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 Unless I did not see the complete article above ...I would love to have seen some data on the microstructure and the composition of those ingots. This topic is very much alive for me. I am currently melting with a taller crucible the flatter lens crucibles are on the way. I will post some pictures as soon as this computer allows me to. Below are some recent microstructures, using a narrower taller crucible . 2 Link to post Share on other sites
