@@fylthl what???
Mangalloy is also used to make railways, i worked in a foundry that made these.
The Mangalloy has a better flexibility than carbon steel, so it can be slightly deformed before actually breaking.
I was curious about why iron replaced bronze, and the explanation I found had to do with availability rather than superiority. Bronze required conquering large territories to access sources of its two components, whereas iron is abundantly distributed and can be mined in one spot.
I looked it up and it said only pure iron but I didn't research I only looked it for like a minute so dont take my comment as a fact
As he mentioned, copper can be found in it's pure form naturally while afaik, iron can not. This explains why the bronze age existed and used bronze, as purifying iron to make it workable, especially with it's high melting point, is likely rather difficult without the appropriate tools. And while yes, iron was much more abundant, it is also harder and thus better fit for weaponry. But the real breakthrough in regards to hardness was steel. Even rather early bone steel, like vikings used, significantly improved the iron weapons
The main difficulty AFAIK was just getting the iron out of the ore. Even after that, iron needs to be made into steel or undergo proper heat treatment to meet or exceed bronze's specifications. But once that barrier is passed, it's extremely worth it, since iron is far more abundant in general. And by far more I mean orders of magnitude more. This lets you build far more weapons, armors, etc, leading to a huge advantage even if the quality was a bit iffy at first.
It's same with titanium. It's the 9th most abundant metal on Earth, and better than steel in every way. It's just a pain in the ass to get, and even harder to work with.

You need to do this in a vacuum or nitrogen atmosphere to prevent the spontaneous oxidation. That way lower melting temperature elements will be able to stay in solution and alloy together.

Metallurgy is really interesting. Alloys are incredible, and the modern world would not be the same without them.
It's amazing how long our species has been alloying various metals, and even with the insane advancement of knowledge in the last 200 years, we've still only scratched the surface of the world of alloys.
Wouldn’t be the same, more like wouldn’t exist
Yeah, metallurgy is a huge interest of mine. I have a bunch of ideas about different weird alloys I can try, but usually I find that it's a bit far out of reach for me. Although truth be told, I have been able to melt some kinda interesting (and likely impractical) forms of bronze recently.
Fire, horses, cows, wheat, metal and wood is what mankind really is.
Alloys and plastics literally are the modern world, in and of every thing in every environment, certainly everything we touch.
Many metals don't mix that well or form specific intermediate compounds. I was expecting you would see a large collection of demixed alloys here. Can you show what it looks like under a microscope?
Exactly what I thought
I imagined the more dense metals that don't mix with iron like gold would sink to the bottom of the crucible and were angle grinded away.
@@Wackydude27 I wonder if you could maybe centrifuge it when smelting to even out the psuedo-alloy and prevent it from settling. Hmm. Reminds me that I haven't kept up with the low gravity smelting experiments they were supposed to be trying on the ISS.
I second the wanting to view it under a microscope part. Maybe record the density and do a few hardness and conductivity tests....you know, just normal experimental metallurgical stuff...
It probably helped that a lot of the metals he chose are common elements used for steel alloys.
Of course not all of them were, but it seemed like the majority of what he used were.
@@DeltafangEX i think that would probably work but could you imagine a white hot cylinder being slung around? 🤣
I’d immediately test to see where it lands on the mohs hardness scale, it’s thermal and electric conductivity, and it’s tensile strength. I love finding out the properties of alloys.
I wonder if you could smelt metals in a vacuumed induction smelting chamber, that might keep metals from burning off and oxidation of the alloy, and also eliminate gasses present in the air that would get absorbed into the alloy. I don't know if trace amounts of oxygen and other gasses would react or oxidize the metal, perhaps to prevent that, as well as increase pressure if needed, it could first have all the gasses vacuumed out then have an unreactive (noble) gas such as helium, neon, or argon to dilute the trace gasses and make them less likely to react. in order to form them into the desired shape of the ingot, the solidified alloy could be cut, and the scraps could be re-melted (if needed), or the chamber could contain a specifically shaped mold. You probably don't even need a specific smelting chamber, you could use your existing chamber in a vacuum chamber, although you would probably need to make some custom couplers and electrical adapters and install it into the vacuum chamber wall for the cooling lines and supply wires.

Your periodic table display case is lovely!
I suspect you've made a high-entropy alloy here. Many metals get harder when mixed, and if you mix the right ones, you can make them extremely hard and strong. Some reported alloys of iron, nickel, copper, vanadium and chromium specifically are incredibly hard!
Yeah nickel chrome and vanadium gives you prohrom the non rust and non magnetic stainless steel. Used in food industry machinery and farmaceuts. Also its a metal that your kitchen sink is made off :D

well I mean you got alloys that melt from 327 °C (lead) to alloys that melt only from 3 422 °C(tungsten)
quite the different extremes, quite sure the tungsten didn't get even close to meting in the crucible while the lead started to boil at that point(it boils at 1750 °C)
probably need to melt under innert gas?
imagine gallium
boiling lead sounds really bad tho
The tungsten doesn’t have to reach melting point, it is quite soluble in a melt of various metals. In fact that is how tungsten is added to tungsten bearing alloys - as a solid into a liquid melt (of
say iron, nickel and chromium)

I was actually taught the transition to the iron age differently. What I was taught was that the transition occurred because iron, being an element that could be mined, was more readably available than bronze, being an alloy that had to be manufactured. bronze weapons continued to crop up, particularly in the hands of high-ranking individuals like kings and emperors. Iron was reserved for more general use, like common weapons and tools, but since it was more brittle, wasn't used by those who could afford bronze.
For reference, this was in a college level class.
The switch from bronze to iron happened over the course of many centuries and over many cultures. It's not hard to believe that the switch was caused by different things for different peoples in different places at different times.
This is true, but only part of the story. Iron still required more advanced furnaces than were available at the start of the Bronze Age, and it wasn’t until the development of steel (also an alloy) that bronze became clearly outdated.
Bronze is harder than pure iron, less brittle than the high-carbon iron which might have been produced easily, can be smelted at lower temperatures than true steel, and is less sensitive to exposure to carbon from the fuel used to smelt it.
It’s certainly a simpler technology than iron and steel, but not necessarily worse than either.
For reference, I learned all of that from TH-cam videos on the Bronze Age collapse.
@@ZeteticPhilosopher Steel was produced accidentally from the very earliest periods of the iron age, but it wasn't reliably produced until long after iron was used. Indians started reliably producing steel around 400 BC, around 800 years after what historians consider the end of the bronze age. It didn't become a common use metal in Europe until the 18th century, you basically had to be rich to get it before that.
You correct though that bronze didn't stop being used just because iron came on the scene, it's just that iron took over as the main metal for lots of things such as tools, weapons and armors.
Also tin wasn't common (copper and iron was). We still aren't 100% sure where Roman Empire got all it's tin from.

If Thoisoi2 added uranium: "Mission case report, mission: acomplished, (the person was found alive next to the cube almost dead, neighbours who tried to help found deceased Probably of radiation from the cube.) Estimated recieved amount: 17 Sieverts. Life prognosis: 96-130h. Case closed."
I wouldn't be surprised if the core of the Earth is comprised of such a molten alloy. It's amazing we find as many metals as we do within our reach at the surface of the Earth or from asteroids.
Probably, metal like Thungsten did not melt in the final alloy due to the high melting point. Nice video!
It could be true but many alloys have lower melting point than its ingredients
@@welchianachi7707 it's interesting that metals form "azeotropic mixtures" just like some liquids (e.g. ethanol+water, acetone+methanol).

it is possible to let tungsten dissolve by letting it slowly diffuse into the molten metal
My 7 grade self be like: "what if we do that?"
same
yep,same...
Me, after writing my final exam in 12th grade: Time to do all those experiments we havent done in our lives! Basically every experiment!!!
my 7th grade self would've answered you with: probably a crumbly mess. then make this face→ (ﾟﾍﾟ)ゞ
Same With Me
Flatten and fold it a number of times.
Now we need a Mose and Rockwell test.
Would love to see this on an Xray too.
Sick video but use a flap disc on your grinder for a smoother look
18:13 Sounds like something I did when I was 13 and going through some changes.
Underrated
it took me a second, ngl.
i didn't get the joke at first, then. i was like.....
I laughed instantly
Xdddd thisguy
Now this is true heavy metal
We should call it: the Thoisoi Alloy, because he made this alloy - or should I say, SUPERALLOY - .
My son is interested in chemistry and he had some questions for you. What kind of furnace do you have? Where did you get it? How hot does it get, and how hot did you have it to melt all those cubes? If you have any advice for a budding chemist, we would appreciate it. Thanks.
Mixing 5 to 12 elements together will find a surprising feature - things gets easy to be mixed perfectly. It is all because of the entropy. If interested, highly recommended to study for thermodynamics .
