"Oxidation at what temp? At lower temps adding enough Si or Al to steel will get oxidation resistance.
Though you would be better off sticking to Fe-Cr martinsitic alloys. You may find that you don't need to go to 18%Cr, in many applications 5-9%Cr provided adequate corrosion resistance.
Are you...
I was wondering, if you people know of any cheaply made ferrous alloys with a reasonable resistance to oxidation (since commercial stainless steel is way beyond the scope of homemade products).
P.D: my homebrew kilns can easily melt iron and titanium.
Sup ppl!
I became interested in being able to make my own magnets out of scratch (without electricity), so I thought that, maybe, there are processes of turning hematite, iron, iron oxide or any other, not-too-complex iron compound into magnetite.
Know of any ways of doing so?
