Hey guys this is Jason with Mount Baker foundry and today we're gonna be melting
down some zinc and pouring zinc ingots. And so I went to the scrap yard,
ended up grabbing a bunch of zinc mostly sacrificial anodes from the marine
industry. But we went through, sorted them there were something that had some
aluminum anodes in there so we pulled the aluminum ones out so now we have
pure zinc. And I think there's right around 1100 pounds here, so we're gonna
melt these down in the furnace and pour them into ingots today.
Those are nice looking ingots, huh?
And here is our finished zinc. These are all the zinc ingots we poured, ends up weighing
about a thousand pounds it's 986 pounds or something of zinc. And each one of
these bars weighs about 15 pounds. So thanks for watching our zinc video, hope you
enjoyed it and stay tuned for more. We'll see in the next one
