Sorry about the flaw in the handle. That's too bad. I enjoyed the pattern and mold making and also the finishing process. More of the finishing would be good.
Really enjoy all your videos man, I'm proud to say I have been here since day one. I really don't mind, I always enjoy watching you making the moods and melting the aluminium. I would very much like to see more intros on all your videos, very happy with the one you did. Love all your work, when you get over 1 million subs, remember I am one of your biggest supporters
MP, you have very nice projects! I think that your bat´s failure didn´t happen due bad design but I believe the lack of heat treatment after the solidification. I don´t know neither the alloy used nor if you have done any heat treating process on it. I have some experience with Al-Si-Mg alloy designed for engine cylinder heads and cast wheels (356 alloy). For this alloy I would suggest heating the cast up to 530°C and leaving it there for 4 hours, quenching on hot water (80°C) and then heating it up to 200°C for 2 hours.
if you think this is cool you should checkout the giant cnc mill-lathe combination machines i got to use one a few years back and all you have to do it put the metal in the vice and off they go
obviously you have to program them and put the metal in the right place i was just keeping it simple youre correct im not a machinist but im not an idiot either
the main flaw is that the aluminium is cast instead of formed into shape. in order to make aluminium strong you need to organize the crystals in the material and then CNC / Lathe it into shape.
Casted aluminum is about as brittle as aluminum gets, a better approach would be to use a forged piece of aluminum (e.g 50x50mm bar, 6082-T4) and simply turn it in a lathe.
alot of wood workers use anglegrinders or similar things that do the same as an angle grinder that way you dont get sircular sanding patterns on your wood or in this case metal.
Yes and no. Aircraft aluminium is so strong because it's a special alloy and because it is specially treated. Also some aluminium alloys are hard to cast because of high viscosity, to fill the mould details you would need to spin everything so centrifugal force would force the molten aluminium inside.
You guys are both right but the reason why the bat broke is probably not really related to the specific aluminum alloy chosen. As MP Dragon said himself, the mistake was creating those grooves in the handle: they acted as notches and intensified the local stress which became higher than the fracture strength of the alloy employed.
if you melt and pour/cast aircraft aluminium, it will lose its strength. You would have to reharden it through precipitation hardening to get it strong again.
The alloy would make a difference but the way very high strength aluminium is created is by heating to certain positions on the liquidus/solidus diagram and quenching to maintain the microstructure that has been developed there. It's not just the alloying metals that increase the strength. The microstructure is the most important. But yes just removing the grooves is much easier
Your design is flawed not because of the recesses or grooves in the handle, but because of the technology used to make bat the. Instead of using cast aluminum, you should've used cold formed aluminum (but this is waay advanced technology, and by default too expensive), or cold rolled aluminum bar and cut it out on the lathe. Many people think that cast metal is stronger than some other forms of creating metal object. NOT TRUE!. Almost everything made of cast metal is very brittle. It can handle pressure, but not dynamical forces, such as hitting brick wall with cast aluminum bat. This is because metal makes rather big crystals while it cools (think of it as glass) and these are divided by something called crystal boundaries which on microscopic level create this effect that you think grooves on handle are responsible off. Weak points from within. So, when you (hot or cold, and for aluminum its better cold) deform material, you get to deform those crystal bodies, bonding them, not into bigger crystals, but rather bonding their boundaries, intertwining them, twisting...and so on. This is what gives it strength. So, when you buy quality tools, for example, and you see label on them: made from cast steel. This is not just taken out of the cast. It undergoes process of, usually, hot forming by the means of negatives-forms of the shape you want to make. This is why those tools are much more expensive. It is very tedious process, with quite a few steps in technology. Cold rolled bars of aluminum, underwent this process, and are much stronger from within material. So... just use a lathe, and cut it out. Much simpler, much cheaper, and any machine shop would do it for you real cheap if you supply an aluminum bar for them. This is much better for you also, because you get to choose quality of the bar yourself. Cast things are much better at absorbing vibrations, that why quality power tools as circular saws are great if they have cast construction. Peace!
well, not so much. cast aliminum is brittle. it would add a bit of durability, but not for long. hitting anything harder than a baseball would result in shattering of Al around steel bolt at the impact point.
I honestly don't really care what happened in the end, I give you MAD PROPS for going the extra length of doing what you did!! Your AWESOME in my book!! 💀
I think you would be better off getting a solid block of aluminium, and just shaping it on a lathe. It's gonna be so much stronger. And i think it could be done without any fancy tools, since aluminium is so soft.
Yep. I used to make yawaras and koppo sticks out of aluminium, and I just used wood files and wood rasps for the overall shaping. It was so soft, it was hardly any slower than working hardwood.
My grandfather once turned a functional trailer ball hitch out of ironwood. He literally had to use a metalworking lathe because woodworking tools wouldn't scratch it.
sugestion: Should have done a “Slow Motion” video when you were hitting the items with the bat! Would have looked A1🔥🔥🔥 Great video tho I love watching things get built from scratch and your channel provides that!
Once again, a well done video. And your always readiness to admit your mistakes is refreshing. Impressed as well with your grinder/router work. Keep it up, please. I doubt that you know how much you help others trying to do the same things you do.
What planet are you from? Shit-obnoxious noise music, stupidly executed, ill informed use of technique and materials, and a complete fail. Waste of time and material. You people are doomed, and deserve your enslavement.
I never thought of this material as my perfect murder weapon! It will shatter his head from the body nicely with one swift blow. Investigators will never know, and never think the killing apparatus is self-made! Thanks for the idea!
It would have been much easier to do lost foam casting here in a vertical pour, as you say. Instead of wood, make a bat out of high density insulation foam in the same way. Bury the foam in greensand with only a sprue off the top or bottom protruding above the sand. Use a metal pipe to form a head above the sprue, pour molten aluminum, and foam will vapourize. Cool and remove bat. Polish to remove rough surface texture.
I applaud your effort and detail to hand craft. Remember Edison failed 999 times before if found the successful solution. Keep working, kept experimenting, and keep having fun in doing so!!! Great work!
I'm not 100 percent sure, but I do think you also should have given the bat a heat treatment before use. I'm no expert,but if it were steel or cast iron I'd definitly go with a normalization process.
Heat treatment is generally used for ferrous materials due to the crystallization of the grain structure at any given point. I dont believe aluminium has any of these properties so it its heat treatment wouldnt do anything to it other than thermal stressing the part if done poorly.
My aluminum mountain bike is annealed to a 6061T6 heat treatment. its also an alloy of aluminum and magnesium. Aluminum is brittle right after is cast and needs to be annealed.
Curtis Lund Your comment got me interested in heat treating aluminum alloys. From what I gather it's very different from say steel and it's more of an "aging process." It's a process that is done before casting. They also call it precipitation hardening and it's like you're cooking the alloy to change the properties.
+Sigma Projects Yeah, with a bike frame the manufacture will treat it after they have welded the frame together. It is usually a multi step process with the frame being kept at certain temps for hours at a time. Al also has a self healing quality to it if it is heated after it is treated. Though it takes months to get the strength and flexibility back. That's why it's poor idea to powder coat a bike frame along with a whole bunch of car wheels. The bike will loose its annealing and will break with out warning when weight is put on it.
+ScienceFoundation yes but then every time he would wanna make a bat it would never be the same as the first and he would have to keep making the foam shape
Sir, you could have just vanished the part when the bat broke down. But you didn't. Instead of doing that you showed us what went wrong. I really liked it😊
... Did you think about that before asking it? Evidently not. What happens if you pour boiling hot water into a hollowed out ice cube? The ice cube melts. What do you think would happen to the aluminium bat when molten aluminium is poured into it?
Steel and aluminum mix every day in thousands of applications. Firearms, boats, cars, bikes, airplanes, fishing reels. The biggest concern is galling or seizing, and that would not be an issue here as there are no threads or moving parts. In FACT, Gerber's very famous Mark II combat dagger is manufactured by spraying molten aluminum onto a steel tang to form their famous cat's tongue grip. There IS no corrosion issue, many originals from the Vietnam War Era still exist.
+willrichtor I figured that point was obvious enough that it didn't need making lol, but thank you. I'd recommend a mild or cold-rolled rod, and maybe have it threaded, too increase the surface area in contact.
+Oneofdazzz well if you do have a raised logo, whoever you smack with it that tries to harm you or whatever is going to have a deep bruised reminder not to mess with people lol
Aluminium is the more professional way to say it, and in other languages it sounds similar like in german. Aluminum is the easy american version again ._. But then you would also have to say Potassum, Calcum... PeriodicTable did a good video about it.
fucking englishmen, invented the english language but can't speak it for shit adding vowels to words in pronunciation does not change the word- do it like they did in primary school SPELL IT OUT al-um-in-um
In proud grooves, at the edges, you still get force concentration trying to break a bat. So it still could fail. In his case the material cross section was significantly smaller, so it broke there. Engineers try to have minimal edges on supporting structures because of that and where it is necessary they use fillets to spread acting force to a bigger area. I suggest to do much wider proud ribs or flat handle even next time :) There is a reason you saw in this futile fight against CRT tv, why bats have flat handles :)
Those type that are the "skip commercials" and have spoiled their tv show watching due to that fact. I hate watching anything with this type of tv show watcher as they get irritated when commercials come on. Quite comical hearing them gripe as I use the restroom or get a snack during the break.
As one gentleman pointed out cast metals absorb vibration better than others but it broke because what makes it absorb vibrations also makes it brittle as glass. The only drawback about turning from a solid rod is it would be difficult to include the company logo as a raised piece which makes your bats stand out
Cast aluminum is generally susceptible to brittle failure. Further, any notches, grooves, or discontinuities will produce stress concentrations, and dramatically increase stresses through the given cross section. I would look into intentionally placing the bat's center of percussion. Generally, the distance from the handle to the center of percussion is given by R_p=r+k_g^2/r where r = distance to mass center k_g = radius of gyration and R_p = radius to center of percussion
people who complain about the music are the lamest basic bros ever... sorry you all hate your life so bad that you need to complain about some decent music. go complain about rock if you insist on complaining
You can also fill a regular aluminium bat by drilling a hole in the handle end with aluminium or even put something heavier in the end like steel nuts and bolts then pour in the aluminium
Another idea i had : instead of making a pure aluminium bat, why not adding a steel core ? Just a rod of iron that you use for reinforced concrete. MAke your mold, but instead of casting it right after, add the rod, elevated on some little pieces of aluminium designed at the right size (just make an aluminium rod of the thickness of the segment you need to put it to, drill a hole of the size of the steel bar in the center, cut it in half). Could be a bit of trouble to keep it centered, but worth it in my opinion. You gain weight (so power) and better stiffness. I'll may try in the future.
Cool project. Next time cast in a chunk of rebar to reinforce the handle/neck or machine down a billet on that lathe you use in such a unique manner. My shop teacher would have either fainted or exploded, haven't decided which.
Jr.Beast hey now leave him the fuck alone he likes what he likes and you like what you like you are probably some dumb 15 year old kid that sits on his ass and smokes pot all day stfu
My opinion about this video : "the creator is too good" even though this is a 'how to make' video you still give option for not watch the process. Great video!
Why would ANYONE want to skip the production?!?!
That's the best part!
Maybe some feedback? Do you want more or less of pattern making, mold making, casting and finishing the casting?
Sorry about the flaw in the handle. That's too bad. I enjoyed the pattern and mold making and also the finishing process. More of the finishing would be good.
everything was interesting from beginning to start, awesome video
Really enjoy all your videos man, I'm proud to say I have been here since day one. I really don't mind, I always enjoy watching you making the moods and melting the aluminium.

yes, this was awesome
attack rate: 210
durability: 15
AlexLun I'd say 180 at the attack part
It's so heavy you have to swing it slow, you could just as easily use a normal hollow bat on things that aren't bricks, and it would hold up just fine
Spineshot25
I will buy one aluminium bat,But i will Leave it how it is,and i will not make it hard as Balls
I couldn't stop laughing when he was acting all cool and shit with his shades on and swings it and the bat breaks 😂😂😂
I like how creative you are and not afraid to show your processes to the world both successes and failures.
What the hell, That is the coolest way to use a lathe
if you think this is cool you should checkout the giant cnc mill-lathe combination machines i got to use one a few years back and all you have to do it put the metal in the vice and off they go
+DIY Jet Engine Guy you have to have things set correctly or you can crash the machine which is not a cheap fix!!
"all you have to do it put the metal in the vice and off they go" obviously not a machinist
Justin Taylor Agreed!
obviously you have to program them and put the metal in the right place i was just keeping it simple youre correct im not a machinist but im not an idiot either
How to make this easy:
1. Drill a hole into a hollow bat
2. Fill with liquid aluminium
3. profit
😂
2.5 Experience molten aluminum all over your feet. It melts if not tucked around with sand.
3. Burn.
Ya except the molten aluminum pour would melt through the bat....
you could still put it in sand
+xXonlinemanXx true
the main flaw is that the aluminium is cast instead of formed into shape.
in order to make aluminium strong you need to organize the crystals in the material and then CNC / Lathe it into shape.
Exactly !!!
S class hero metal bylat!
The bat broke because it lacked fighting spirit
😅
I like that he didn't hide his mistakes :)
Casted aluminum is about as brittle as aluminum gets, a better approach would be to use a forged piece of aluminum (e.g 50x50mm bar, 6082-T4) and simply turn it in a lathe.
Or do aluminum bronze. :)
Yea my thoughts exactly. It wasn't as much a design flaw but more a material flaw.
Yes. Slightly higher price though but definately worth it for a project like this.
actually all my casting are to damn hard harded than forged aluminium
would the lost foam method still be useable while preheating the mold?

@@shiondearies2842 yes
Very nice! Even with the fail! I never saw anyone use an angle grinder on a lathe before. Very cool idea!
alot of wood workers use anglegrinders or similar things that do the same as an angle grinder that way you dont get sircular sanding patterns on your wood or in this case metal.
yeah that looked way hardcore
Quite normal to use grinders like that. Even on parts made for the off-shore oil industry.
I really like that you added a skip button for the video, I don't skip the making process but it is nice to see you give people the option.

Lost foam casting would have been a shitton easier.
Kinda hard to shape foam on a lathe though huh?
Not really. You can get hard foam that burns up just as easily
+ScienceFoundation yes but then every time he would wanna make a bat it would never be the same as the first and he would have to keep making the foam shape
+Jacob Young do lfc first then use the metal bat to make a mold if you want to copy it. less cleanup than with wood.
lost foam has a lot higher % for form failure though it is a ton easier and cheaper

Steel and aluminium shouldn't mix. Maybe if the rod had a coat on it that would allow for the heat of the aluminium. Otherwise, corrosion galore.

In proud grooves, at the edges, you still get force concentration trying to break a bat. So it still could fail. In his case the material cross section was significantly smaller, so it broke there. Engineers try to have minimal edges on supporting structures because of that and where it is necessary they use fillets to spread acting force to a bigger area. I suggest to do much wider proud ribs or flat handle even next time :) There is a reason you saw in this futile fight against CRT tv, why bats have flat handles :)
how good does it feel to say "i made that"? good job mane👍
Magnesium weighs 1/3 less than aluminum & has a slightly lower melting point, and costs less per pound.
it is also very unstable, and soft .
If it's lighter how will it give a good smack
Molten magnesium does not sound safe, it can burn you know.
Magnesium is a combustible metal. Meaning it burns, and it cant be put out with your normal fire extinguisher.
could just fill an old bat with concrete
Add tungsten ice cleats from a snowmobile and we have a nasty death club
Or, fill the original bat with aluminum...
it would melt
fill it with lead
Extracting the *casings* from the chamber.
And sir is there anything that you saw on the crook that might be easily identifiable?
Well, i hit my logo into him.
This channel is fantastic I'm subscribing
Am i the only one whi finds metal melting sooo satjsfying ?
Who doesn't want to see the making part
If you don't see the making part, may as well just delete the video.if you show how it is made then other people can try making one too.
Those type that are the "skip commercials" and have spoiled their tv show watching due to that fact. I hate watching anything with this type of tv show watcher as they get irritated when commercials come on. Quite comical hearing them gripe as I use the restroom or get a snack during the break.
how's that solid aluminum feel on impact? shake your teeth out? or more comfortable? just wondering.
Actually you cant feel anything. I was surprised about that to.
MP Dragon that's pretty awesome! Good clean metal work.
As one gentleman pointed out cast metals absorb vibration better than others but it broke because what makes it absorb vibrations also makes it brittle as glass. The only drawback about turning from a solid rod is it would be difficult to include the company logo as a raised piece which makes your bats stand out
that's a lot of work that's a 300 dollar bat
Boi
Barely 50$ for the emblem
bruh it weighs seven pounds most bats don’t go over two pounds. this is like a 50 dollar bat.
The suspense is a killer.
Cast aluminum is generally susceptible to brittle failure. Further, any notches, grooves, or discontinuities will produce stress concentrations, and dramatically increase stresses through the given cross section.
I would look into intentionally placing the bat's center of percussion.
Generally, the distance from the handle to the center of percussion is given by
R_p=r+k_g^2/r
where r = distance to mass center
k_g = radius of gyration
and R_p = radius to center of percussion
come on negan Lucille is fine
Press start
Geometrydash subzero
what would you charge me to make 10 with a custom emblem
for now I am not selling my castings, but I will sell them later
wh...wh...what are you going to use em' for if i might ask....?
Go go Team Skullbusters!!!
people who complain about the music are the lamest basic bros ever... sorry you all hate your life so bad that you need to complain about some decent music. go complain about rock if you insist on complaining
If you did I would buy off you
You can also fill a regular aluminium bat by drilling a hole in the handle end with aluminium or even put something heavier in the end like steel nuts and bolts then pour in the aluminium
7 pounds!? That weights as much as a medieval great sword! With less the reach!
Great video though, enjoyed it very much, mate!

Here is feedback don't put that awful music is make my ears bleeding.
Another idea i had : instead of making a pure aluminium bat, why not adding a steel core ? Just a rod of iron that you use for reinforced concrete. MAke your mold, but instead of casting it right after, add the rod, elevated on some little pieces of aluminium designed at the right size (just make an aluminium rod of the thickness of the segment you need to put it to, drill a hole of the size of the steel bar in the center, cut it in half). Could be a bit of trouble to keep it centered, but worth it in my opinion. You gain weight (so power) and better stiffness. I'll may try in the future.
Cool project. Next time cast in a chunk of rebar to reinforce the handle/neck or machine down a billet on that lathe you use in such a unique manner. My shop teacher would have either fainted or exploded, haven't decided which.
Maybe next time you should learn to swing too..
Damn Yourugly you realize he's swinging a 112 ounce bat right
Blake22022 omg really? That's what solid means?
Damn Yourugly No, solid does not mean 112 ounces
G Leggett oh, ok thanks bud
Now fuck off
Damn Yourugly Someone proves you wrong and your best comeback is "fuck off"?
this is Dan TDM's intro music.!
Jr.Beast hey now leave him the fuck alone he likes what he likes and you like what you like you are probably some dumb 15 year old kid that sits on his ass and smokes pot all day stfu
Sam James I agreed to what SpuTloud said.
Looks heavy but still cool! Nice emblem on there
Negan needs one of these.
Did you ever consider filling the hollow bat with molten aluminum? Cool video. The end product turned out very nice.
That is one deadly bat that is awesome also overpowered smashing through those blocks like it was nothing
have you some video of the melt and burner?
Those grooves raised or lowered will act as stress risers. I'd leave the off all together or put then along the longtitudenatl direction
doesnt matter if fails... the work is work ! :) good video and i think its a nice bat. next time better :)
My opinion about this video : "the creator is too good" even though this is a 'how to make' video you still give option for not watch the process. Great video!
