In order to begin casting cast iron, you will need a few key materials. The first thing you need is a furnace or kiln in which you can melt down the iron. You can buy a small furnace designed for home use, or you can make your own using bricks and a propane burner. Then you need a crucible, a vessel containing the hot iron. The crucibles are made of substances like graphite or clay, and can withstand the very high heat from the furnace.

Tips and Tricks

After you’ve got all that down, next up is melting the iron. Place your iron in the crucible, and heat your iron in the furnace until it melts. Once your iron is hot and melted, carefully pour it in your mold. And don’t forget to dress in protective gear, such as gloves and goggles, to avoid injury!
