How It's Made Steel Forgings

[Alesandros356]

Am i the only 1 who though that the suggestion picture looked like a bug chunk of ham?

[b2dmastersniper]

i want to know what the electrical bill is for an hour of running that furnace

[BigTankDriver101]

I bet the machines that handle the glowing steel have high melting temperature.

[Doganderboss]

i love that music

[elusivellama]

The power hammer and power tongs were by far the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.

who tried 26/4?

[spongeofsteel01]

wow that was bad ass and

[shiroakaishi]

I bet the guy in the control booth feels like the god of hellfire when he starts that furnace.

[YoungJim409]

@shiroakaishi If you get a tour of a steel mill, you'll find out that it is about as close to hell as you'll get. I mean, while the furnace runs.

[myusernameisluc]

Did you know that when talking about metal, forging doesn't involve fraud?

[Kaijisss]

I was reading my e-mails and started watching @3:42 and thought that the piece of metal was the size of a candybar or something close to that. And @ 3:50 .... MIND EXPLOSION

[jcudal32]

they should make a "how it's made Factory"

[cookervillpop101]

TERMINATED

[regulas70]

This is an industry that deserves its union. 

[CireRice]

They use water to remove rust......wait a minute!

[KazimsChannel]

@CireRice water doesn't make rust, oxygen does.

[CireRice]

@KazimsChannel rust = red oxides, formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water ...... so it doesnt help... I guess since it is so hot it doesn't matter as much... I just found it interesting....

[voirinkeli]

The pic looked like metwurst stick...

[terminator6267]

I wouldn't like to see someone get burned from that huge block of steel O.o

[MrSheissen1]

Jesus, I wonder what theyre electric bill is.

[haimerejd]

"Scrap iron" does mean its actually iron. Why does he c\keep calling it iron?? the majority of that scrap is steel.

[Daniels441100]

but,will it blend ??

[Zorbo88]

Smithing increased to 86.

[PRSpl4yer]

You can actually use nitrogen as a chemical replacement for carbon. Carbon causes steel to rust easier, and replacing carbon with nitrogen actually prevents rusting. Most modern steels are switching to that tech now.

[baggedandblown]

@PRSpl4yer Are you talking about nitriding? As in, case hardening.

[PRSpl4yer]

@baggedandblown No. Nitriding goes on the outside of steel as a finish. Nitrogen can be added to powder steels in substitute of carbon during the actual creation of the steel. I work with a lot of H series steels, for example, in my work as a custom knife and sword maker. The Nitrogen prevents oxidization and corrosion from salt, makes it really good for use around water and in maritime applications.

[MaxMyrmyr]

so this is where the fluoride comes from?

[Desolate182]

hahahahahahahahahah

[Durken316]

My dad works at a metal working place and they got a 450ton ferracute coining press, it shakes the fucking ground!

[Perplexer1]

What the fuck is that NOISE ?

[zanuha]

Goddamn this is large scale.

[signious]

that looks like ipsco in regina

[transdrole]

They use water to remove rust? heh.

[xXxgriefelementxXx]

@transdrole DROP DEAD!

[bestamerica]

'

nice video about metal,,,

let metal to make more powerful battle main tanks, more guns, more warships, etc

[PlushGallade]

@bestamerica lol go away hippy.

[troubledseed]

2:57 Guys like.. Pfft What evz i do this shit everyday, Like a boss

[munky40903805]

i couldnt help but think "make a giant samurai sword" from that ingot.

[thedreamliner2012]

When melting, how do they mix all that stuff they dump in? It would seem that unless you somehow stir, mix or shake it, you would not get an even, consistant metal all the way thru. Maybe when it melts it creates a natural movement inside the ladle.

[deaftodd]

@thedreamliner2012 you got it, natural movement. it's so hot that all the atoms are bouncing all over.

[ivanlagrossemoule]

@thedreamliner2012 I'd say it's done by convection.

[Alesandros356]

3:03 ooh that's so cool

[BarneySaysHi]

Cripe, a 46 tonne ingot. Don't want that to fall and land on your foot!

[ncps1234]

Okay, this would be my last "how thing are made" video...

Oh wait, there is another one on how guns are made..

argh....

[TestTubeBabySpy]

ive seen rookies burn through refractory brick with an oxy-lance, let em fuck up the first time, if its safe and not too expensive,,,

[Kamagel007]

damn thats what i call "Strike while the iron is hot" on giant scale :D

[linkuei83]

@Kamagel007 imagine the tears any ancient blacksmith would shed if he saw that guy. Awesome job he has.

[Kamagel007]

@linkuei83 Hehe, totally right!

[saiano1]

I got the introduction question wrong.

[websuspect]

I have a near photographic memory. This was recaned from dirty jobs with Mike Rowe.

[MastaSwallows]

how do the metal machines they use not melt when they melt the scrap metal?

[dmmillerjr]

@MastaSwallows They are lined with a thick layer of refractory ceramic material known as fire brick that can withstand higher temperatures than the metal container. It contains the heat without transmitting it to the exterior 'pot'. However, the entire process is exceptionally hot (see everyone standing behind heat barriers and wearing heat-resistant suits) -- you can feel the intense heat radiate from those steel ingots 30-40 feet away!

[trespire]

I thought that Aluminum Chromium Nickle Vanadium Manganese and Molybdenum were all metallic elements. Am I mistaken?

The ingot at 2:47 is one of the most beautiful objects.

[dmunene2000]

hows how its made made?..

[SandbagBoxer]

3:34 Optimus prime's dick.

[flyer203]

Wow!!!!!

[AnswerToNumber]

3:25 "They use a high-pressure water gun to remove the scales rust." Use water to remove rust? Interesting...

[asunil224]

@AnswerToNumber scales of rust that stick to the press, and also, the metal is so hot that the water turns to steam instantly anyway

[timothyfleet]

"When does forging not involve fraud? When it involves metal!".... Can I use that in court when I get caught counterfeiting coins?

[kagi95]

How do they make the steel 'scrap-bucket' they use to make steel?

[GmtC1979]

@kagi95 great question i was thinking the same thing myself

[if860]

@kagi95 Ladles ("buckets") are made of cast iron (whole bucket is one piece), or by welding thick steel plates. Interior is covered with thick layer of refractory ceramics, usually in form of special bricks. Ceramics could be basic (alumina, magnesia, dolomite, kaolin, etc.) or acidic (like silica), dependent on process used. Sorry for bad english.

[KYRM09]

@kagi95 with scrap metal duh

[luigi90900]

@kagi95 Carefully?

[phillipdogyface]

@kagi95 they get a giant scrap bucket and make liquid steal then pour it in a mold :P

[xEpicMan]

@kagi95 magical fairy dust with applesauce and lepricon tails!

[locutus340]

@kagi95 its the chicken and the egg thing.. how did we ever go from casting stones to computers.. ill tell you aliens

[LeOmNomNom]

@locutus340 Eggs came first, cause Dinosaurs layed eggs... The eggs dont have to be chicken eggs

[MrNeoFromMatrix]

@kagi95

the have solved the chicken-egg problem !

[kingofvlog]

@kagi95 have u ever gone to history/world studies?

[hejsa240]

@kagi95 They use a bucket made of iron, that is covered with heat resistant stones on the inside.

[cchiara420]

@kagi95 lined with heat resistant brick?

[hanzithaking]

@kagi95 the scrap bucket is lined with carbon :)

[UnknownXV]

@kagi95 Chicken or the egg man?

[auroradamien]

@UnknownXV The egg came millions of years before the chicken.

[auroradamien]

@kagi95 I have been wondering this for years.

[n3rdbear]

@kagi95 lol

[MrFlyUpHigh]

@kagi95 easy way to put it is. the inside of the bucket is cover with fireclay that can handle high temperatures. that's what firebrick is made from for fireplaces.

[epistte]

@MrFlyUpHigh Why would they need to line the scrap bucket with fireclay when it never gets hot enough to weaken it?  The ladle is lined with fireclay because w/o it it would melt.

[MrFlyUpHigh]

@epistte cause it will stick to the bucket

[epistte]

@MrFlyUpHigh Why would cold un-melted scrap metal stick to the scrap bucket?

[omarsoek1]

@kagi95 whit play-doo

[adamotero0]

@kagi95 The way it's supposed to be, with a single guy, A HOT HOT fire, an anvil, and a hammer. :3

[ThatAdelaideGuy]

I JUST WANT TO TOUCH IT

[TheRealGeriBoss]

2:08 not safe to drink...

[dramoschocolate]

how do u make the things needed to forge the steel and other stuff....thats always my question, how do you make the material u use to make THAT material? getz?

[ottomobille]

@dramoschocolate Chuck Norris made the first one.

[flashkillerffff]

@dramoschocolate white hot metal is relatively soft

[polarbear666666]

3:03 PANTS=JIZZED IN

[DanFrederiksen]

seems so primitive. robots could do it in an oxygen free environment

[htenneknav]

@DanFrederiksen How about the cost?

[DanFrederiksen]

@htenneknav probably cheaper because it has much fewer problems. product is purer, less flame and soot

[ataraxic89]

wow, those are big

[quartz12vsevolod]

Vaya. Es impressionante =)

[everestgirl13]

I remember this was one of the first How It's Made I watched =]
