I fell in love with this cut when it was introduced to me in 2010 by a caregiver from Los Feliz, grabbing QP (quarter-pound in the bud business) after QP to stock our jars â¦ Most find the bud structure to be a turnoff, as these plants arenât typically suited to grow those forearm-length High Times cover shots you see.
1,688 degrees Fahrenheit is an extremely hot temperature; however, in metallurgy it is considered a low melting point. Compared to iron's melting point -- 2,786 degrees Fahrenheit -- the average melting point of brass at 1,688 makes it a low-melting alloy.
Large furnaces melt the iron and stay at temperatures ranging 2,600 to 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Computerized systems constantly monitor temperature. As the iron travels down the molding line, the temperature gradually decreases from about 2,600 to 1,200 degrees. As the castings cool, they enter a shakeout process in which the molds are shaken off and the sand is recycled for reuse. When castings get below about 140 degrees, they are cleaned and finished.
