Fixer & Forge
You ever think a forge could run like a clockwork machine? I’ve got a few tweaks that could cut waste and boost output, and I’d love to hear your take on the exact timing of the heat cycle.
Sure thing. If you can keep the furnace at 1500°C for a steady 15 minutes, then drop it to 1200°C for 10 minutes, the heat distribution will stay consistent. Use a closed-loop thermostat with a 5-minute hysteresis to avoid spikes, and run the whole cycle every 30 minutes. That’ll cut waste and keep output high.
Nice specs, just double‑check the sensor lag so it doesn’t kick back before the cycle ends. That’s the only tweak I’d add.
Make sure the sensor response time is under 2 seconds, otherwise it’ll jump the thermostat too early. That’ll keep the cycle from backing off prematurely.
Got it, I'll run a quick test on the sensor response before we lock it in. That should keep the cycle tight and prevent any early drop‑offs.
Sounds good. Keep the test tight, and once the sensor is back‑tuned, we’ll lock the cycle in. That’s the plan.
Alright, I'll keep the test tight and lock it in once the sensor’s dialed in. No fuss, just solid results.
