We introduce experiments and examples of using electrolytic iron. Please imagine "a new material" using electrolytic iron.
Let's make a Japanese craft knife by using electrolytic iron and Tamahagane !
Under swordsmith Masahiro's instruction, I made a Japanese craft knife by using blended electrolytic iron and Tamahagane.
Tamahagane, which is the raw material of Japanese swords, contains various elements, and that effects hardness, toughness, and given its an artistic appearance. The swordsmith Masahiro who continues to make Japanese sword, is doing research on making sword by combining electrolytic iron and Tamahagaene then controlling the impurities.
High purity iron is hard to rust !
This time we examined whether there is a difference in corrosion resistance depending on the purity of iron.
High purity iron is resistant to rust. Please realize the corrosion resistance of high purity iron.
Let's make "Orizuru" with a high purity iron foil !
This time we tried to make a Orizuru to appeal the strength and workability of high-purity iron foil.
High purity iron has high ductility. 99.999% purity - electrolytic iron can be made into 5μm thick - foil. We tried "Orizuru" made of high purity iron foil to realize how thin it is.
Let's make a high purity alloy using electrolytic iron !
This time We tried to make a high-purity alloy in a vacuum melting furnace as the most common use of electrolytic iron.
Electrolytic iron is used in various alloys such as aircraft and automobiles. These industrially use ton-order melting furnaces. Vacuum melting furnaces of several kg to several hundred kg are used for research and sputtering targets. In any case, when electrolytic iron changes shape or becomes an alloy, it is given functionality and becomes a useful material for your life.
