Forging 6061-T6 Aluminum, heating the material to 500 degrees F first and forging with a 2 Ton hammer (makes a BIG BANG)

  • O_O i wonder what your arm would look like if it was where the aluminum was and the machine turn on by itself.

  • @xelementassassin If you know what you're doing, you can pound just about any metal into any shape. And aluminum isn't weak by any means. If you pass most heavy duty trucks on the road, you can thank the strength of aluminum for keeping the wheels on them. Heavy truck wheel hubs are more and more being made from aluminum instead of iron. I work with them on a regular basis and have never seen one fail because of aluminum being weak. I'm talking 1,000,000 mile + trucks. This is just one example.

  • @xelementassassin what you dont see is the fact that billet is HOT! between 850-900degF ! If that billet were struck cold it would work harden and shatter.

  • well aluminum is just so weak, it can be pounded into any shape
