I genuinely find massive industrial machinery super interesting just seeing the pure industrial might of humanity the hundreds of people it takes to run one of these machines is so badass
I'm a union millwright and I couldn't agree more. Seeing industrial machinery running and working on it is my passion. My favorite industry is the metal industries. If you ever get the chance to tour a forge, foundry, or steel mill take the opportunity. Witnessing the heat, light, and sound of molten metal is breathtaking and can't be described with words. It's like a beast we've barely been able to tame. Paper mills are also really cool if you ever get a chance to see a paper machine running. If you like this sort of thing consider joining an industrial trade union like the Millwrights or even pipefitters.
I wish I could work in a forge shop. I hae a weak heart so I couldn't stand the heat. We had a forge shop in my hometown but it closed. The people I know from there are some of the people I respect the most.
There is a museum called the 'Saugus Ironworks', which was once a functioning forging mill. Very loud and almost scary to young children. The mallet may have been 15 feet long and operated on a ratchet. They're still open for visitors.
its tucked away but there is video footage of it making parts for nasa and so on, it is the largest counterblow in the world, so the biggest of its type and it hits even harder its said since it was rebuilt, but its been seen a few times on video, has the power of some of the largest forging presses in the world that includes the ones in china or in that category, and has been going since the stated 1959
Praise God! This press is the same age as me and we're both still in operation; although, that press will outlast me. Hey, it's great that we still have machinery and industry like ATI and their awesome press remaining on US soil and keeping Americans employed. I spent my working life as a machinist and then a machine designer for the manufacturing industry and it sickens and angers me every time I see "made in China" on everything. Long Live ATI and their press.
I have been here in real lige doing fire alarm and fore spronkler system inspection and upgrades and system add ons and man when they turned it on when i was there it was so loud you could feel it in your chest and body and would shake the whole steel meill stephen is a great guy and knows that hammer like its hos own body and basically was passed down from his dad to him at ati
The isothermal forging market includes countries such as the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Nordics, GCC countries, Japan, and Korea....seems a couple more than three.
Its like the difference between a 16 oz steak and 16 oz of ground beef made into the shape of a steak. Same basic material, same weight, same shape but totally different in internal structure.
@@brianthesnail3815Best explanation I’ve ever seen. I’ve worked in forge shops a lot in my life. My dad was in management in the 50s at Ladish and helped with the troubleshooting of jobs on that hammer after installation.
My father did 35 years at Ladish and was the 1st shift manipulator operator on the 85. I recall having to go through FBI/government background investigations for a defense department project he was involved with. More to the story but yea Ladish made Cudahy back in the say.....

They need to cultivate industrial and engineering appreciation in middle and high schools.

What an beautiful piece of machinery. I'm glad it's still running.

One of the sounds of my childhood
ATI is top notch, they have the "only one place in the world can make this" market cornered.
Mike Rowe needs too make a video on this!!
I remember my dad taking about Ladish. He knew them from when he worked on gyroscopes for the Apollo.
My dad running that hammer!!
Yes he is!! ❤
Your dad is cool👍👍✌️
You finna run it next that means🤣
Tell him well done! Now that is a job!

That's The Real Deal! Loved The Work Detroit Michigan!!
A machine so specialised that it is its own natural monopoly. There is literally no market for another.
The true "most powerful hammer."
Now that would be a fun job. TY to the news for this!
Iowa Precision Forge for 45 years. The perfect job. Get to play with fire. Make all the noise you want. And you get paid for it.

I worked at ATI in Monroe, NC. They were building what they called “ The Worlds Largest Forging Press “. So my question is which one is the biggest?
Ones a press and one is a hammer!
D own the road from me is a 50,000 ton cold forging press. It is five stories tall. Powered by two gargantuan hydraulic cylinders

This is what I imagined the furnace as as a child after watching home alone. 😂
I'd put a pair of humongous googly eyes on it.

I feel like we could start a real life 'Jaeger program'
1:35 those tie bars are crying for an overhaul.
What do you do when a one million pound hammer breaks?
It's intimidating whether you've seen it before or not, I would say

Thank God Ladish was not scrapped .
Why use hammer instead of molding? Strength? Or what?
Metal has a grain. When you cast metal, you lose the grain. When you forge metal, you reshape the grain, hence it’s stronger.

Is it bigger than big mesta?
No, but that's a hydraulic press, not a hammer. The applications are different.
I want to work here
Do they sell those hammers at Lowes?
Glad It's Still Running? I'm Thankfull It's Running on American Soil! U.S.A. Proud!
Gonna put my hand in it

Hammer Time ⚒️
Big hammers go boom!
0:28 it looks like some fire breathing instant death machine you might find in a film.
That would be cool to see.
How is it rated I seen 50k hammer as far as I knew it was the biggest in the states..just anvil of 50 is 1 million
The 50,000 ton press is...well, a press. Powered by hydraulics. This is a hammer. Press-forging and impact-forging are different things.

Hephaestus' Hammer
It's beautiful....
Hoffa was there briefly
Its beautiful
Yes, we can see the hammer without the equally big red arrow. Such obnoxious thumbnail design.
WHAT?
CAN YOU REPEAT?
I know he said something.
That is so cool
It's very dangerous jobs
Nice… I wonder what happened to your “Mighty Fifty”
🔥
So cool
If i had a hammer 🎶 i could hammer in the morning 🎶 🎤
💪⚒️
Lets see it smash a Volkswagen
Or another loud continuous pounding you might hear is me slaying poon.
Rosie and her sisters
Stop lying. You and I both know the only poon you ever touched was your mom's, when you fell out of it.
Tell her I said hi, by the way.
the sound of that the pounding is actually just coming from your dads house when im visiting
You must bei 13 years old...
I can take it in a fight
Cute little parts😂
This Industrial plant wants all time get lined...! 😄(Judas Priest - Steeler (Official Audio)]
What will happen if a human falls in ?
Red mush
@@jamesfaller5680 damnnnnnn!!
Um... I think they might change shape ever so slightly and cease to do that thing essential to living called breathing.
If you think this is a large hammer. Check out the hammers that forge jet engine parts..
You must not have watched the video.
0:56 all his workers probably know 10 times more than him.
That hammer ain't shiii. Look up the hammer in my home state in cudahay, Wisconsin. 10 stories tall 🤣
That's literally the hammer featured in this video. You're talking about the same hammer.
dumbass....
Before the plandemic we spent a bunch of money...*gulp.
Iv seen way bigger this is not the biggest hammer in the world, If anything this hammer is a Miget
And where was that?
@@SynchroScore here in the united states and not no weak ass other country with their worthless steel that what last maybe 10 years 😅😂
@@SkynetCryptoTech-Webnett-coin So, where was that? Like, what company, and what city?
I watched the whole thing and i still doont know where it is. Cut-a-hay? Where is that?
Cudahy, WI near Milwaukee
