will furnace aluminum

This melter doesn't get hot enough to melt Aluminum. Also, as it has a steel liner in it, and, steel only has a slightly higher melting point then Aluminum, it would be a mistake to try it ..

I haven't tried welding aluminum, but one thing I know because I have tested it: it's good for the 1/16 and more and less for the 5/64 and 3/32 as it seems to need some extra 5 to 10 amperes more to burn properly these last ones, (I have tried to make a nice welding with these last 2 electrodes using this welding machine but the weld simply cools down to fast).Using the 1/8 electrode for mild steel; well this machine won't burn it, not even using the 1/8 SS electrodes which I feel are softer.

A gas furnace would be your best bet. You will need to reach about 1350 degrees for a good pour. WEAR EYE PROTECTION & LEATHERS!!!! HEAT UP WHAT EVER YOUR POURING INTO!!! Aluminum can get REAL NASTY REAL QUICK!!!!

It is not aluminum but not heavy enough to be straight cast iron. It cooks like cast iron. Hope that helps.

No, I don't believe that is a good idea, after all it is cast iron. However, I do believe that there is a cast aluminum model that is designed for that.

Not for Aluminum, I use mine for steal stick welding and I love it . works as good as my red buzz box and its smaller than my lunch box

No, as it comes it is for steel. There is an optional spool gun that could be configured for aluminum, I think, but if I wanted to do aluminum I would get a different machine. Great box for steel, up to 1/4 inch.

You could but you need to watch your contact time because aluminum will heat up quickly. And this tool has a lot of RPM's

No. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal. As is copper. Cast iron or stainless steel may be used on induction cooktops. akb <+)))><

Yes. It should work great if you're using cast iron. I don't cook with aluminum so I can't speak to that.

Are you asking about aluminum? If so, it melts at around 1200 degrees much to hot for most electric pots. You will have to search for a gas forge for any quantity of aluminum. The do make small electric furnaces for jewelry making for silver and gold, but they only melt a few ounces, maybe up to 10 ounces for so.

nope aluminum melts ~2200 F this only gets to 600-800F. Its perfect for lead or pewter, but for aluminum you need a potter's kiln or a propane/coal furnance. check out youtube for some cool DIY can furnance.

You would have to buy two, I have one cast iron and one aluminum. I am going to buy another aluminum one because it is way easier to clean and lighter weight.

Absolutely not. Aluminum melting point is 660 C or 1220 F which is unachievable with this torch. Your best choice is a TIG welder.

Haven't tried aluminum, but 1/16 304 stainless sheets with .035 309 ss flux core wire seems to work well.

No this unit can not weld aluminum it is a DC Inverter unit only. It runs on ac power from the wall outlet but the inverter converts it to DC for arc welding. Hope this answer helps.
