    I remember when someone on here blasted someone for saying they scrapped the ferrite, saying "it's just padding your buckets, because it cant be melted down"

    My metal worker on the other side of my shop and i had a slow day. He has a homemade furnace thing (dont ask). We took a couple hunks of ferrite, threw it in, and left it. Came back at the end of the day and they were melted, but only a little bit. Not all the way. We obviously didnt/couldnt create the normal amount of heat it takes to fully melt steel. But after some research i figured out that all those ferrite chunks we find are something along the lines of "powdered" steel. Maybe i read it wrong, but that's the impression i got.
