If you decide to melt a small piece of gold at home in order to give it to a jeweler, or for some other reason you need to carry out this operation, at low cost you can easily do it yourself. You will need some time, a few simple tools, and a little introductory instruction.
Instructions
Step 1
Use a conventional welding machine whenever possible. The advantages of this method are that it is simple and convenient. You don't need to assemble complex structures or buy anything extra. All you have to do is set the desired temperature and melt the metal under a direct stream of fire. If desired and possible, it is possible through heating the container.
Step 2
Prepare the mold for pouring the metal into. Remember that the melting point of the mold to be poured must have a higher melting point than gold.
Step 3
Watch the temperature level, do not let the gold boil. If possible, buy a protective suit or at least a mask. Such home surgeries cannot be guaranteed to be safe. Nobody will give you a guarantee on the purity of the metal you are melting, and also no one will guarantee that everything will go like clockwork.
Step 4
Construct the burner if there are no other appliances available to replace it. Tell the seller in the store what you need the materials for, so that they can help you choose the right heating and protective elements for your design personally. If the procedure you are going to carry out is single, and you no longer need the device, you can sell the resulting unit on the Internet in the future or give it to your friends.
Step 5
Check your burner for proper operation. You should not use the device without a preliminary test, and be sure to make sure that no one except you is in contact with the device. First of all, think about the safety of yourself and your loved ones.
