Crucible steel
Might anyone be able to help me find somewhere I can buy Crucible steel in "sheets". If it changes anything, I am in Europe.
Thx

What happens when you add too much Vanadium to your crucible steel. This was a nightmare to forge, even at bright orange it was really stiff under the hammer. Took probably over 100 cycles to get to this point! Won't be doing that again!

Trying to melt steel in my induction forge. Whether I pour into graphite, sand, or even just let the metal cool in the ceramic crucibleβs I get porosity. Do I need to set up a shielding gas or is there a better flux I can use? Iβm just using borax at the moment thanks!!!

Crucible Steel vs Japanese Tamahagane
I was just wondering which material would be considered the better material for forging? Because Crucible Steel is considered a "Super-Steel" in it's complete form, but early on, it's very finicky and difficult to work with, and more often than not, cracks and breaks, and is very difficult not to overheat, whereas Japanese Tamahagane is easier to work with, but I heard, has more impurities/slag in the material, so which would be better?

Hada with crucible steel
Is it possible to make a Hada pattern using crucible steel, since crucible steel is made of tiny iron or steel parts and they are visible in the end product, should it be possible to make a Hada pattern just by folding it ?
Or should i draw it out, cut it in pieces and stack it the traditional way?
Stacking it would probably give me a finer grain pattern but just by folding it i should be able to get close to it since the crucible steel isnt homogeneous in the carbon content , right?

Is this flint/ chert? Or is it some sort of glass created by industrial processes? I ask because it was found on the grounds of an old steel mill that had crucibles and molten steel. I assume that process would be hot enough to create glass like byproducts. But Iβm not certain either way.

Indian crucible steel vs Wootz/Damascus, Pattern
So I've been reading about the history of crucible steel, it's development in India and its highly sought-after reputation in antiquity and the medieval period. Also wootz/damascus steel and its difference from pattern welded alloys.
So I've heard all wootz/Damascus is crucible steel, but not all crucible steel is wootz/damascus.
But where I'm confused is, does all crucible steel have that "water" pattern?
(hope I got the right sub for this)
Thanks

TIL: In the Viking period, Ulfberht swords were made of crucible (very pure) steel all the way from India. The exceptional quality of this steel made them so valuable that forgers faked the name Ulfberht on lower-quality swords, the equivalent of a fake designer logo.

My 28 pound Wilkinson anvil. This was forged in Enland sometime around the mid 1800s, judging by the style. It is very roughly forged and the forge weld lines from the pieces of wrought iron and crucible steel it's made from are very visible, which I find really interesting to look at.

My 28 pound Wilkinson anvil forged in England around 1840. It's interesting to be able to see the grain in the wrought iron and and crucible steel, lots of visible forge welds too. It is very rough and imperfect, has a ton of character from being forged. Neat insight into how anvils used to be made.

Crucible for steel melting
Hello all, i wanted to ask if there are crucibles that reliabily hold steel, i'm considering going into it since its an amazing hobby but i can't figure out what i should use, most of the scrap metal available where i live is high carbon so i need high temps, does graphite work? And if i wanted longevity, what should i get? Thanks

Burned through a steel fire extinguisher crucible, not sure what I created
I was melting metal aluminum shavings from a CNC mill. I burned it all so it was almost all molten. I then added a salt flux to remove some of the slag from the molten aluminum.
Before I knew it my foundry was getting exponentially hotter. I created a white powdery substance that stuck to the sides of the foundry.
In the end, it burned through the ENTIRE bottom of my crucible AND a hole in the side.
Did I somehow create thermite?? or what did I create when I added salt that made it burn through steel?

New Steel - Crucible S45VN
Crucible and Niagara have just announced a new stainless powder metallurgy steel β S45VN. I was able to get a bar of it early to do a range of experiments on it including hardness, corrosion resistance, and toughness. I have a recommendation on how to best heat treat it too. How does it compare to the existing stainless knife steels? https://knifesteelnerds.com/2019/11/01/crucible-s45vn-steel/
