you mean with a chestplate? But this should work with other things, depending on the ingots. Swords would give 2 ingots if their durability was more than half, and 1 if it was less. Same principle with pickaxes, axes, and other tools. Daggers and Shovels will always give 1 ingot, even if it was done in a forge..
