Making a blade from 1500 pieces of fish hooks. About removing the container: In some cases, I prefer not to remove the container. The container protects the valuable material and if there are cavities left, they will easily weld during the second welding. Before the second welding, I grind the container off the adjoining surfaces. The rest of the container with a thickness of 2 mm, during the first welding, lengthens four times, becomes 0.5 mm, but due to a decrease in the cross-section by 2.5 times, the thickness is 1.25 mm of which some thickness burns out. In the second welding, with an elongation of four times, the thickness is 0.31 mm, with an increase in width of 1.75 times, the thickness of the container is 0.18 mm, and some part burns out. In my experience, there is almost no container until the end of forging.
