  • Hey, guys, this is a basic colouring technique you can use onto stainless steel. In the upcoming time, I am definitely going to use this technique in my stainless steel project. In the past, I have made my own design of stainless steel post, Balustrade & railing for my home. I mostly use my trusty stick welding machine which works perfectly on stainless steel. I hope you like this video and enjoy that as well. I have so many stainless steel videos onto my channel so make sure to give your little time to visit my channel.

    I have been colouring ordinary mild steel in my shed recently and I know just how much skill and practice is required to get this level of consistency with a blow torch, in open air, by hand, without a bed of metal chips. Especially on items of varying thickness. That is a serious effort, impressive work mate!

      What method have you found most effective thus far? Im also working with mild steel and struggling with colouring options that don't involve paint or forcing patina with acidic substances.

    • @lordchickenhawk
      @lordchickenhawk 10 місяців тому

      @@MonkeOfAMillion I've found that putting small, polished and de-greased parts in an old steel bikky tin full of builders lime into a household oven gives a fairly consistent finish but it's hard to choose the exact colour because you can't see the bits.
      I set my oven to flat out (about 280 C) and heat for about an hour. The actual colour i get seems to depend on the carbon content, mild steel getting purple to blue shades, high carbon only reaching straw to brown. I then soak the parts in hot clean oil and get a fairly corrosion resistant finish.
      Polish to a mirror finish and de-grease or it doesn't really work so well.Bury your parts in the builders lime so that they do not touch each other or the tin. Allow to cool right down before getting the parts out, hot powdered calcium hydroxide burns suck.

      @@lordchickenhawk Thanks for getting back to me on this - it's super helpful and has inspired me to give heat-treating a go in my kitchen oven tomorrow. I havent heard of the builders lime technique; what is the reasoning behind that? Does it give you a better finish than heating up in the same way before quenching the pieces in oil?

      Yes it works, just prepare the surface well but due to corrosive in nature it might be a problem because iron/mild steel get rusted alot more quicker. So consider that in mind. The brass depositing works great on that.

      Unfortunately you can't do it twice. The end result is that you might overshot the temperature again and it get oxidised quickly and ruined your finish. Only way to do it properly by Starting from zero. Buff the surface and you are able to remove the finish.
