Foundry demonstration
To celebrate our first day of opening to the public, the FerroForum team prepared the firing of the cubilot, a small cast iron melting furnace. The public could witness live the rhythmic unfolding of a load preparation, the implementation of the sand molds and finally the captivating moment of the cast iron casting.
While Mr. Cubilot spat out his cast iron, the Atelier Central and its courtyard resounded with the little musical bubbles of the “Les Ferrugineux” quartet, specially formed for the occasion.
