Gallium Vs Big Aluminum Ingot

Gallium versus Aluminum Ingot Experiment

[Javonduggan]

Try and mix Gallium and Aluminum together when in liquefied form then pour in the Ingot to hard.. lets see those results

[XavierAncarno]

It’s probable the freshly poured aluminium oxydized, and created a protective layer
Making it difficult for the gallium to interact with the ingot.

What hapen if you melt again that aluminium??

[RSHastingsIV]

NileRed has a good video covering this. You can get some good reactions simply by scratching the aluminum after the gallium is placed on top of it. A good scraping of the surface will do more good than drilling into it, more exposed surface area for the two to interact.

You are overheating your aluminum so much! Proper pouring temperature shouldn't even glow red. When you heat the aluminum up that high it is molten for much longer and dissolves a lot more hydrogen from the air. This all comes out as it solidifies and causes bad porosity in the metal

[quinlanseaman]

aluminum oxidizes so you'll have to scratch that away first, that's why it only worked when you drilled. The other indent was left out for too long.

Can you do more casting with sand videos? They are so satisfying!

[ThePrufessa]

I feel like you're wasting a ton of gas starting the fire before the crucible is in there. There's no need to preheat the furnace.

[dekzYT]

“this wasn’t something i expected” you knew fully well thats what would happen if you mixed gallium and aluminium lol

[jak]

You should have scratched the surface of the aluminium while it was in contact with gallium

[jijopereppadan]

When he put the fire it sounded like a jp trex roaring

[TeamGOutdoors]

I like how you showed the aluminum ingots melting over time

[PizzaPowerXYZ]

Luckily you don't need to put gallium in the burner because it melts in your hand!

[mamupelu]

You could've put it in water so aluminum reacts creating hydrogen gas and aluminum hydroxide, leaving the gallium intact.

[ROTTK]

aluminum oxide was your problem, groove, pour the gallium, then scratch the whole groove to get rid of the oxide layer.. just drilling only exposed a small amount to the gallium, but it did the job

[elite]

I would like to you melt that thing, and see what happends or can you cast something with it.
PS: you do amazing work you are amazing

[kanivaraaninveljenkadonnee]

What happens If u pour gallium into molten aluminium?

[Butterflyknifes]

Put the gallium in a clear container and put a brick of aluminum vertically on top of it let's see how long it would dissolve it completely

[KGiustOD]

Now what happens if you melt it back down?

[cyruspylyser]

I knew you were a Belgian instantly when you said "I'm gonna do it in this groeve" 😂 anyways nice video man 💪🏽
