Following more or less those directions, I was able to build and run my own mini foundry at home, melting about 30 cans to produce 4 mini-muffin sized ingots of (mostly) pure aluminum: ...

We're pushing metal to its absolute limit! In this science experiment, I attempt to melt aluminum cans in a homemade foundry to see what it takes. The science behind metalworking is incredible.

The study demonstrates that aluminum manufacturing scrap can be transformed into metal alloys through a new method called solid phase alloying that perform on par with identical materials produced ...
