Forging, Ring Rolling, Open-Die Forging, Hammer Forging-Kihlsteel.se

View this video on the Forging process! Open-die forging can produce forgings from a few pounds up to more than 150 tons. Called open-die because the metal is not confined laterally by impression dies during forging, this process progressively works the starting stock into the desired shape, most commonly between flat-faced dies. In practice, open-die forging comprises many process variations, permitting an extremely broad range of shapes and sizes to be produced. In fact, when design criteria dictate optimum structural integrity for a huge metal component, the sheer size capability of open-die forging makes it the clear process choice over non-forging alternatives. At the high end of the size range, open-die forgings are limited only by the size of the starting stock, namely, the largest ingot that can be cast. Seamless Rolled Ring Forging
Seamless rolled ring forging is typically performed by punching a hole in a thick, round piece of metal (creating a donut shape), and then rolling and squeezing (or in some cases, pounding) the donut into a thin ring. Ring diameters can be anywhere from a few inches to 30 feet

That is really fun to watch!

Why do I keep watching these kinds of videos? I could be watching a new movie or hot chicks in wet t-shirt contest or "Keeping Up With The Kardashians". But no, here I am watching a steel forging video and really ejoying it. Am I a friggin' wierdo?

Wow! thats some cool stuff! thanks for posting this vid!

Not surprising this is from a swedish company. Scandinavians have always been steeped in the traditions and artistry of steel-making, while still pushing the boundries of the technology, meanwhile us here in north america seem content with hemorrhaging what is left of our steel making industry.

fascinating how much is still done by hand.....

That's one hell of a ring. Thanks for posting. I've always wanted to see what the inside of mount doom looked like.

How long would you have to work in a place like that or a refinery before all that awesomeness became no big deal?

@sixstringfretter No...

I'm a blacksmith. This video gave me a blacksmith boner.

parents walked in at 5:05, I had a hard time convincing them this wasn't a pornography
