Casting

Fire, earth, metal...

These are the elements of casting. Fire is used to melt metals, earth dams up the liquid embers and gives them shape and form, the variety of which is almost infinite...

Casting is one of the old metalworking techniques and is an interesting addition to forging.

The easiest way to pour is directly into the sand as an open cast. More demanding projects can be achieved with mould boxes or with the lost wax casting process...

  consisting of thermal security valve in and thermal sensor and capillary tube, ca. 750 mm length of the capillary tube.   Gas-entry M 14x1,5 AG (for cutting ring fitting Ø 8 mm), Gas-outlet M 14x1,5 IG (cutting ring fitting Ø 8 mm) Suitable for Proforge, P-301 and P-302, and other gas forge furnaces.   The thermal monitoring device is part of the thermoelectric ignition safety device for gas-fired forge furnaces and, in the event of a malfunction, is designed to quickly prevent the escape of unburned gas.   Function: The gas flame heats the tip of the thermocouple. This generates a thermal voltage, which is conducted through the copper wire to a holding magnet. Once sufficient voltage has been built up, the magnet holds the valve open. If combustion ceases, the tip of the thermocouple cools down, the thermal voltage is reduced, and the holding magnet closes the valve. The response time is between 10 and 60 seconds, depending on the design.   An essential safety device for all gas-fired forge furnaces. Also suitable for DIY construction!

  Suitable for crucibles from 1 kg to 4 kg Approx. 580 mm overall length, approx. 380 mm leg length, good temperature resistance, forged from 50CrMo4, two-handed operation possible   Did you buy a crucible furnace from Amaz.., eBa., Temu, or somewhere else and are annoyed by the included "tongs"? These so-called "tongs" are not only poorly made, making it nearly impossible to hold a crucible securely, but they also pose a significant safety risk, as crucibles full of molten metal can easily slip out. Safe casting is out of the question.   Therefore, we recommend these sturdy tongs for holding your crucibles.   Features: Sturdy tongs for electric crucible furnaces Suitable for crucible sizes 1 kg*, 2 kg*, 3 kg, 4 kg Lightweight and durable Ergonomic design Weight-reduced shape Forged from 50CrMo4 steel Dual-handle operation possible Safe handling of crucibles   *Note: For 1-2 kg crucibles, the tongs need to be slightly compressed; this can be done without any problems. You can find instructions for this in the Video tab.

Questions - Answers - FAQ


Many questions about the topic of watering, to which we try to give answers and without meaningless AI texts.

Do you still have questions? Then please ask us directly here:

E-mail:

What is casting?

Casting is one of the main groups of primary molding and is a technique that was already used in prehistoric and early history.
Liquid material (molten metal) is poured into a mold and workpieces or objects are thus produced.
Casting is a perfect complement to forging and so, for example, fence tips can be quickly and easily reproduced by casting during a restoration.

What equipment is needed for casting?

In any case, you will need:

- Crucible

- Oven/fireplace

- Casting mold

- Tongs

- Protective equipment

- Molding sand 

Depending on the specific application, different techniques and tools are used.

Where can I buy foundry tools and accessories?

Of course you can get everything from us.
From furnaces to tongs to protective equipment, we offer you everything you need for casting from a single source in the best quality.

What do I need as a beginner to cast?

In principle, a crucible and a way to heat it are enough.
The crucible can then be poured out using suitable tongs.
The most important requirements are usually present in a forge.
For example, the crucible can be heated in a field forge.
Knee tongs can be used to pour out the crucible.
The molding sand can be obtained in small quantities
....and off you go

Can I cast with children or at school?

Casting is perfect for craft lessons.
With a few simple tools, pendants, brooches, and much more can be cast at low cost and with manageable effort.
The right protective equipment is of course important here.
Are you planning a project or are you interested in casting and forging in class?
Then contact us and we will support you.
