After an introduction to metallurgy and theory of pattern making, you will begin forge welding a 20 layer billet of 1055 and 15N20 steel, using our hydraulic press. Once fused into a single block and drawn out, it will be cut into three, restacked and welded into a 60 layer billet. This is repeated untill you have a 180 layer billet. The billet will then be cut in half and a different pattern worked into each piece before drawing out the billets to their final shape. They are then ground flat and acid etched to reveal the pattening.
The
course goes for one day from 9am until 5pm. Please contacvt us to arrange a time. Cost - $440 (incl GST) It is not necessary to have previous experience in forging for this course. You will keep the billets made for future projects. There is a limit of only four places per course.
