Casting Bronze Dagger. Centurion. Aluminum bronze

Показать описание
The Bronze Age is a historical period characterized by the use of bronze. A lot of things including a weapon were cast of this beautiful metal - bronze. I want to cast aluminum bronze dagger. Sure, aluminum bronze wasn't used that time but classic tin bronze has very similar mechanical characteristics. Nowadays, tin is pretty expensive, so aluminum is a good alternative. The most important is to use hard metal and aluminum bronze is really hard! One of the hardest bronzes.

Mate once again you didn’t disappoint I’m always amazed to see you melt copper in such a way when I know exactly how much incredible heat concentration needed to melt the copper. Well done my friend another great addition to your videos. I would’ve personally wrapped the handle in some leather or cloth but that’s just me, it still looks bloody awesome👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁

Awesome work, I love seeing people having a go at casting. I don't believe that aluminium bronze has similar mechanical properties to tin bronze, it's an incredible material with some alloys approaching steel in young's modulus and yield strength.

Have you taken HRc test after you hammer harden the edge?

vertically cast possibly give less imperfections? shrinkage is problem with aluminum bronze maybe? excellent dagger --how much would you charge for one just like it?

Looks great! :D Would be even better if you wrapped the handle.

Funny that tin is hard to come by. If you find anything that is pewter (antique plates and cups), pewter is mostly tin.

А як можна вирахувати кількість міді та алюмінію, яка потрібна, щоб зробити алюмінієву бронзу?

Наконец то нашел что на древесном угле плавить можно медь и бронзу

Other than the nicked/dented part of the blade, it came out alright.

Вітаю, мені цікаво який був би результат якщо зробити форму для литва не з піску а з каменю, так як робили в давнину, приміром як виготовляли бойові сокири кельти. Думаю вам варто поексперментувати з каменем. З Повагою

I know that the video is quite old now, but 24 HRC is a bit soft for a bronze sword. Actually, bronze was harder than some mild steels. And of course, there is a way to harden it. Not by quenching it of course, but by work hardening the cutting edges. (so hammer the edges until they get thin and hard).

Well you have to make it gold because centurion of Rome which you represented with S.P.Q.R they used imperial gold not that

Любопытно... Почему усадочные каверны появились прямо вокруг литников? Вроде-бы это последнее место где их стоило ожидать... Это же получается что литник затвердел раньше чем отливка. Странно.

It seems that the hardness testing apparatus you are using is only valid in the range 25 to 65 HRC.
But if the values displayed on the screen are Leeb hardness, the values you get seem pretty believable: 353 Leeb => 105 brinell for brass, 487 (average) Leeb => 210 brinell for aluminium bronze.

Now you are ready to call Joshua and savage Jericho. Well, I guess you could just stay home with the women and wait for the spoils. After all, you make it real golem like.
