Well been a while since I saw anyone posting up their wares so figured I would break the ice.
So yesterday after an early start I managed to pour up the following,
From top left to bottom right,
Lee 310-120 (quenched)
MP 452-200 (HG 68 clone)
NOE 454-230
More of the MP 452-200 (quenched)
another box full of the Lee 452-230(quenched)
and last but not least the HG 130 DEWC also quenched.
So all together around 65'ish pounds worth poured from a 1/3/96 alloy. In the past I have only used these air cooled, but this time decided to grab a bucket of water and get to dunkin. I poured all of them at a pot temp of 750 and all molds were plenty hot.
This evening after work I grabbed up six samples of each air cooled and quenched and ran one each through my Cabine Tree tester. The results were a bit surprising. The air cooled tested at a 75 and the quenched hit a solid 90. In BHN these would be around a 12-13, and the quenched would run around a 22-24.
I plan on testing one each per week over the next few weeks to see how things hold up.
So what is going on elsewhere??
