Yup, it's actually forged as you can see from the failure mode. Today 99.99% of anvils and even vices are made out of cast iron/steal/whatever pot metal India used, some use good cast steel like the Russian anvil, but it's never going to be as good as a forged part. It's especially infuriating when it comes to vices as they are under tension a lot more than anvils, and cast iron/steel is pretty brittle under tension, so as soon as you start whacking hard on something in a vice, your vice breaks, unless you got an old vice that was made well by forging the parts.
That's what I thought immediately on sight too, this is an OLD U.S. anvil. So, the comparison with what looks like a newer Russian anvil is a little deceptive.
When you applied pressure on the Russian and American anvils I was actually afraid for the hydraulic press...I thought it was going to die right in front of our eyes 😄😄😄

Honestly just looking at Indias I knew it would perform the worst... but I didn't expect it to be THAT bad. I mean holy shit the nail just went straight in
Yep, it'd be good to spend the same amount of money for all the countries next time. I can buy a US cast iron piece of metal and an indian forged steel and get the opposite result any day.
I don't know what's more impractical out of these three things: needing a anvil, even more specifically a miniature anvil and finding the best one to hold out the longest against a hydraulic press. But just in case this day comes I'll know to go with the USA.
If the USA stops playing socialism and financing the socialist experiment around the world, that in 200 years Russia will have a chance to overtake the competition or disappear into oblivion with all socialistic regimes.
Russian one slightly softer but by a marginal amount. It’s scratched more. That’s about it lol. Good old American steel. It may not look pretty but it’s more reliable than your ex when it’s the time of month to send them child support XD
The US and Russian anvils performed excellently. Especially since the Russian one is from a toy set. Can you imagine how wonderful it would be if instead of quarreling, that the US and Russia worked together instead? That would be a dream come true.
USA, Russia, and Chinese anvil are all good for day to day use. Realistically, a black smith is not going to be able to put anywhere close to the +70 tons (that's like 50 cars) on a anvil for day to day use. If the Chinese anvil is significantly cheaper than the other two, then I would see nothing wrong with getting it. The Indian anvil however is absolute trash since is failed the basic nail test. It's also extremely soft so a few hammer strikes would eventually warp it.
It actually is an actual anvil bubba same for the us and others. Imagine being so triggered that you didn’t know they also make them for use outside of toys

Скорее всего наковальня США из CORTEN, он не ржавеет, а покрывается защитной пленкой и поэтому кажется ржавым, но прочность высокая. Если обратите внимание на мосты в США, то некоторые выглядят ржавыми, но на самом деле они из CORTEN, поэтому они прослужат очень долго. Нужно сравнить со шведскими металлами, они в этом преуспели побольше многих.
Yashhh! L'oxidació superficial de l'acer corten patinable crea una pel·lícula d'òxid impermeable a l'aigua i al vapor d'aigua que impedeix que l'oxidació de l'acer prossegueixi cap a l'interior de la peça. Això es tradueix en una acció protectora de l'òxid superficial enfront de la corrosió atmosfèrica, amb la qual cosa no cal aplicar cap més tipus de protecció a l'acer, com la protecció galvànica o el pintat.
@@MBTIinRealLifeхитрость сплавов типа CORTEN в том, что их целенаправленно делают ржавеющими на поверхности конструкции, а внутренние части делаются устойчивыми к коррозии. Из-за чего на внешних сторонах образуется тонкий слой оксида железа(ржавчины) защищающий конструкцию от негативных факторов внешней среды, а устойчивая к коррозии внутрення часть не даёт развиться сквозной коррозии даже спустя десятилетия службы конструкции в атмосферных условиях. Самый большой минус подобной технологии - она очень дорогая в изготовлении и примерно стоит от 600 до 1200$ за тонну(в зависимости от сорта) когда нержавеющая сталь стоит от 450 до 900$ за тонну. Так же сталь Corten крайне плохо переносит соль, кислоты и солёную аэрозольную взвесь, что сильно ограничивает её применения в морском климате и промышленности в отличии от различных сортов нержавеющей стали. Так что такую сталь из большинства сфер вытеснила более дещёвая и универсальная нержавейка
I'm a tiny little blacksmith, my father and grandfather were also tiny blacksmiths. It's common knowledge in the tiny industry that Indian anvils are good for nothing, I broke one forging sewing needles and thumb tacks, which to be fair are very large are robust products but they are nothing like tiny American anvils. My grandfather always used to say "tiny grandson, get me some water, but let the tap run so it's not warm"
The Indian steel worker used to be a chef. When the manager of the steel plant told him to make some mild steel he added a ton of bell peppers to the furnace instead of high grade iron ore.

The funny thing is that after flattening all the anvils, the main battle tanks of their countries turned into. Russian in T-34, American in Sherman, Indian.. into an elephant.
One SMAALL nuance here - the USA one is rusty, meaning it's old, produced by oldschool material. Why didn't you get a new one? It's either, because it's not as durable, or because they are not even produced over there anymore.
No, there’s American Made anvils, but the price for one is NOT worth the risk of breaking it for a TH-cam video. And most likely, an American Made anvil that size is probably hard to find to begin with.
Unions brainwash factory employees into thinking they deserve $50 an hour for a mediocre job but manufacturing companies said "Nope, buh bye" and moved production plants into different countries decades ago. Unions are now irrelevant and obsolete.
People prefer cheaper Chinese goods; that's how economics works. However, the US is leading in software development and needs to develop its own chip manufacturing industry to compete with Asia. The US cannot compete with Asia in producing easily-made goods.
@@corcorandm exacly duraluminium but still aluminium. if they would make solid anvils off train railroad tracfks the result would be better. but still india anvils are cheapest on the world xd
the india anvil almost looks like its made from lead or zinc rather than iron or steel given how it had almost no noise from being scratched by a nail and how it smushed together so easily without having chunks of material coming off like the russian and american anvils in the 500 ton press
ZN AL. called znal. zincium and aluminium mix. but i know they are making it from duraluminium but still weak. howewer strongest anvils and vices are from pakistan. they are literally forged instead of cast iron. . also another problem is with material quality. anyway 100% iron is soft as butter. you need manganium steel for anvils if you want consider it anvil. or just get piece of railroad track and make it anvil out of that. im sure that anvil will withstand longer than your family

India anvil. The iron in the India anvil apparently has no carbon in it, which would make it very ductile. The addition of carbon is what makes steel, which is much harder to scratch and much more resistant to distortion
@@robertmendick3195 I think that they may skip the heat treatment, which would be to get it cherry red for about 2 hours, and then plunging it into cold water.
Are you sure it was even iron? I have never seen a nail (which is soft by itself) going into iron or steel, not even through the cheapest construction steel.

It is an unfair testing, you need to have some size and some shape anvils to do the test, in this case you can clearly see 6:37 that the wideness of US one is about 4 times of that of China's, I know you want to Make America Great Again (MAGA), but you should not fool yourself, that is like the US team had face in Olympic swimming competition.
Chinese products sold for the Chinese market are either on par or in some cases superior to US products. Which makes sense considering 40% of products "made in the US" are mad with Mexican and occasionally Indian steel (for pots, pans and other household products). American steel is reserved for the industrial/commercial sectors. Trump's tariff increases should change that.

I agree, but it’s also made to allow boats to run underneath. I’d be curious to see if the U.S. anvil incorporated the beam at the bottom of the arch to see if that had any impact on its resilience to the upward pressure being applied. Russias had a structural failure of its steel; not necessarily the design. But with that said, Russias arch could have been more pronounced like the U.S. One thing I noticed with the U.S. anvil is that the inside edges of the arch were beveled. I’d be curious as to how that positively impacted its structural strength.
The paint on the Indian anvil contributed about 50% of the strength.

@vn3946 а почему ржавая?)
America has more heavy metal in our water supply than India does in their anvils
Скорее всего наковальня США из CORTEN, он не ржавеет, а покрывается защитной пленкой и поэтому кажется ржавым, но прочность высокая. Если обратите внимание на мосты в США, то некоторые выглядят ржавыми, но на самом деле они из CORTEN, поэтому они прослужат очень долго. Нужно сравнить со шведскими металлами, они в этом преуспели побольше многих.
Yashhh! L'oxidació superficial de l'acer corten patinable crea una pel·lícula d'òxid impermeable a l'aigua i al vapor d'aigua que impedeix que l'oxidació de l'acer prossegueixi cap a l'interior de la peça. Això es tradueix en una acció protectora de l'òxid superficial enfront de la corrosió atmosfèrica, amb la qual cosa no cal aplicar cap més tipus de protecció a l'acer, com la protecció galvànica o el pintat.
Так они в итоге преуспели в прочности состава металла или в наилучшей ржавчине?
@@MBTIinRealLifeхитрость сплавов типа CORTEN в том, что их целенаправленно делают ржавеющими на поверхности конструкции, а внутренние части делаются устойчивыми к коррозии. Из-за чего на внешних сторонах образуется тонкий слой оксида железа(ржавчины) защищающий конструкцию от негативных факторов внешней среды, а устойчивая к коррозии внутрення часть не даёт развиться сквозной коррозии даже спустя десятилетия службы конструкции в атмосферных условиях. Самый большой минус подобной технологии - она очень дорогая в изготовлении и примерно стоит от 600 до 1200$ за тонну(в зависимости от сорта) когда нержавеющая сталь стоит от 450 до 900$ за тонну. Так же сталь Corten крайне плохо переносит соль, кислоты и солёную аэрозольную взвесь, что сильно ограничивает её применения в морском климате и промышленности в отличии от различных сортов нержавеющей стали. Так что такую сталь из большинства сфер вытеснила более дещёвая и универсальная нержавейка
@ИльяГенш-к4ц интересно
Thank you! I'd never heard of CORTEN before, and now I know something new.
Good job, India! I've never seen an anvil made from such shiny clay before!

India anvil. The iron in the India anvil apparently has no carbon in it, which would make it very ductile. The addition of carbon is what makes steel, which is much harder to scratch and much more resistant to distortion

It is an unfair testing, you need to have some size and some shape anvils to do the test, in this case you can clearly see 6:37 that the wideness of US one is about 4 times of that of China's, I know you want to Make America Great Again (MAGA), but you should not fool yourself, that is like the US team had face in Olympic swimming competition.
I didn't think it was possible to out-China China but India managed.
Chinese products sold for the Chinese market are either on par or in some cases superior to US products. Which makes sense considering 40% of products "made in the US" are mad with Mexican and occasionally Indian steel (for pots, pans and other household products). American steel is reserved for the industrial/commercial sectors. Trump's tariff increases should change that.

Russias had a structural failure of its steel; not necessarily the design. But with that said, Russias arch could have been more pronounced like the U.S.
