Re: Aluminum Smelter Overhead Crane Accident
the crane operator does not correctly unhook the hook which enables the pocket of molten aluminum to be handled.  No one got hurt. |

Re: Aluminum Smelter Overhead Crane Accident
Why wouldn't he just go a foot lower to be sure it's unhooked?   |

Re: Aluminum Smelter Overhead Crane Accident
The guys in the upper left corner - If they didn’t die they got a serious dose of heat.

Re: Aluminum Smelter Overhead Crane Accident
Can you imagine the cleanup after this accident? Not your typical mop and bucket situation... Anyone know the steps involved here? I assume metal at that temperature fuses with anything it comes in contact with?

Re: Aluminum Smelter Overhead Crane Accident
No, it is more like icing spilled from a bowl. It hardens and it just flakes off. But it still would have been a big cleanup, and I wonder about damage to the concrete floor, and all the wiring conduits. Whatever machinery that metal flowed around is probably destroyed.

Re: Aluminum Smelter Overhead Crane Accident
It's aluminum so its not like molten iron which is equivalent to magma almost. Aluminum has a much lower melting point and usually doesn't stick to ferris metals like iron or steel. One time we had about a five gallon bucket sized crucible with aluminum in it that fell over after taking it out of the diy smelter we made. We let it cool down and broke it apart threw it back into the crucible and started over lol. It was all over everything too. Except for plastic shit that it hit it was pretty easy to remove. |
