Poor people. I have a film showing forging of railroad wheels in a Swedish plant in 1917. The workers had better equipment in 1917 than these guys have now, and the productivity was something like ten times higher than this. It only took them a minute or so to forge a railroad rim with flange. In those days the rims where crimped on a center with forged spokes. That took another four or five minutes. The forging press served about four or five crimping stations.
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang... I like the rythum. What would I use the ring for? A wagon wheel? A big basket ball hoop? A wedding ring for a big girl? A hoola hoop? (too heavy) I think I'd just like to see it rolled down a big hill.
been working with hydraulic press machines for steel manufacturing for over 10 years, i enjoy my work but sometimes it's really dangerous if even i take safety as # 1 rule.
few years ago, i had to pick up a couple of fingers from the floor cause my buddy put his fingers in the press machine, i fuckin saw how he lost his fingers, damn it, nice machines but dangerous too!
@emigrantgap Brooms or high speed air /steam jets are used to remove the oxide scale as it builds up during the work process. Otherwise it will be driven into the steel, and adulterate the finished blank.
What is the size of that hammer? Im gettin pissed just watching it. lol. Taking way to long, I had a 5000lb and I woulda been screamin to hit the damn thing already.
damn, it's fucking hot if u stay near the smelling iron like this guys.....so amazing....i can't image the blacksmith make alot of sword and amor in the acient world....
omg wie stellen die den einen ring her, ich selber arbeite in einer schmiede die wälzlager herstellt aber die arbeitsmetoden die hier gezeigt werden sind mehr als veraltet und das walzwerk ohne axialwalze und druckrollen wird es nichtmal mehr ersatzteile mehr geben.
das nachplanen nach dem walzen, die ganze rille einfach runtergestaucht, sowas verrücktes, könnte noch ewig so weiter schreiben....
Had an Great-Uncle by Marriage who worked at the Johnson Bronze Co. in New Castle, PA. back in the 1950's, and during a factory tour one of those presses came down on his hand.
It appears this forge is located in India. Lots of manual manipulation. I've been in a ring forge facility with German equipment where there was very little material handling. Likely, even with all the automated equipment, I imagine the Indian facility still maintains a significant cost advantage due to lower labor rates and minimal environment and legal constraints.
@Deathrape2001 I worked in a foundry in Auburn, NY that used a 500 ton press and could make a ring just like that one in a quarter the time it took them. They pay for themselves when your able to sell thousands of rings a month in comparision to hundreds.
It is very interesting to see how machinery used to be made before casting and machining. What I want to know is who is running the drop hammer and how does it work?
Do you really think so? Everyone wants to buy the latest machinery but pocket restraint does not allow that. Every industry has to move in steps. When these guys earn money, they shall put up better than what you could expect and not because the british left them something. British took a lot more than you could think of.
If not machinery that was left behind,machinery that was shipped out of the UK when they shut down and stripped every single forge/mill/works etc in the UK,some of this old machinery turns up in the most unlikely places,some of it still running after 100 years! There have been a few preservation trusts in the UK who have had to ship machinery/engines back to the UK from all over the world as every single piece was sold or scrapped here.
@pksalwan Oh here we go again - another "KILL WHITEY!" troll. Without England, India would B infinitely more backward than it is. They modernized them significantly & all U do is bich. Maybe U should shut off your computer & electricity, etc - that's white technology 2!
@Deathrape2001 Every stupid thinks that he is a great philospher. Keep it up, youngman. May be that through these words you can satisfy your ego. No need of being so proud of your white language, white skin and white blood. Everyone feels proud of his comminity and race, a few bark of it and rest live politely to make it better and add new discoveries and nice deeds to their ancestoral glory. Every french is not Napoleon but if they feel so, let them feel it.
That ring is prolly gonna end up as a wheel for one of those railroad cars or locomotives that they build in India. A more efficient and productive way to build it is to use ring rolling machines.
WOW!! What a primitive way of making that steel ring. I guess with so many people in china,they have to make sure they use all the manpower up with no unemployment. I retired from a forge shop and I can honestly say that in the amount of time they made that one ring, we would of had 10 to 15 made and our equipment wasnt modern at all. just bigger hammers with dies cut as close as possible to the to the customers specifications.When cooled they were machined to precision.
well, you then would have to forge weld the ends together, something that was done in the 100 years a go in industrial forges, but is just to labour intensive now.
@hurjaheikki if you would bend a bar, you would have to close it with a welding seam, which is very unstable (only 60 to 80% of the rest of the ring). If you need a custom made "closed" ring without any seam you HAVE to forge it.
