My whole life I had no idea titanium wasn't as hard as treated steel. I guess it's just used over it in military/avionic applications for the sake of better weight to hardness ratio?
You've heard of its use in the construction of airplanes because of its high melting point. When travelling at supersonic speeds the nose of the plane will reach temperatures that would melt steel. The light weight is a bonus. They actually had to sneak the titanium for the blackbird out of the soviet union covertly as Ukraine has most of the worlds supply, I believe.
Are you sure that rod is pure tungsten? Looks like it was some kind of turning tool. Those are usually made out of tungstencarbide and cobalt or something like that.
no he was just testing each of the metals to see how far down they would cut so if you look at the depth of the cut it'll tell you how strong the metal is to The cutting test okay okay by the way that pea sized thing up rolling around in your head is your brain, USE IT! 💯
@@nunyafockler5650 Right.......there's a lot to digest here. Firstly, you're insinuating that I'm stupid at the end of a BARELY comprehensible sentence. You're grammar is shit and your punctuation is worse. You also missed the fact that I ASKED a question. I didn't make a statement that needed to be corrected. I was wondering if the difference in thicknesses between the bits of metal could throw off the accuracy. This is where my "pea brain" kicks in. Is it possible that when the material you are cutting is thicker, the material being cut has a stronger "bracing" effect. For example: would a bullet travel deeper through a tree that was 1 foot in diameter than it would a tree that was 3 feet in diameter? There is more material in front of the bullet (the cutting tool) that is working against its progress through the tree. Could a thicker piece of the same metal yield a different cutting result due to there being more material working against the water jet? If yes, than the test results would not be accurate. As not all of the pieces of metal were the same thickness. I think it's a relevant question. What do you think keyboard warrior?
Tungsten is pretty hard, but chromium and boron are much harder, being the third and second hardest elements, respectively, after carbon in the form of diamonds. Tungsten is also not the densest material. That honor goes to osmium. Tungsten’s standout trait is that it has the highest melting point of any metal. However, it should be noted that carbon, while not a metal, does have a higher melting point.
the spark test makes me wonder how different magnesium and titanium sparks are, I know titanium is a super bright white but I believe magnesium is used in flash bangs and fireworks so I'm unsure.
I dont understand much of the metal or cutting things but i stick around to watch most of the videos just to take in the surreal close ups and weird filming techniques. Reminds me of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Good Job.
As a man who has MS, that multiple sclerosis thing, I laughed out loud and woke my wife. It was very humorous, if you meant it or not. Made my day. MS also mild steel.... re watch it.... LOL. Thanks, now I have to go sleep on the couch in the living room.
The Egyptians must’ve used this but found out a way to do it at an epic proportion, with some powerful energy source? They could’ve been a lot more tech advanced than we think
I waer a blackened tungsten ring, and did some maintenance on some equipment today, i noticed a scratch on it after. but it rubbed off, so the ring was not scratched, something else scratched off on my ring. thats why i can wear it without worry of damaging it :-)
Incorrect, AR steel is ABRASION REISTANT. Hardened Steel is hardened. I don't know if this point of fact would impact the outcome I only mention it for clarity and Internet clout.
Not sure if you've done it already but ur carbide tip are very brittle and they shatter when you drop em, put one in a hardening oven and see what happens!!
Ever used gallium? It bonds to and weakens other metals, most commonly aluminum, maybe you could test the difference between the metals normally and while gallium has been applied?
Titanium is hard to machine because it work hardens and is terrible at conducting heat so the work itself heats up and can burn up tools. If the "machinability" score was specifically with regards to water cutting, those factors wouldn't be that big of a deal so might give it a better score in that regard.
Background: Most metals oxidize with the oxygen in air. Think iron rusting, copper turning green, bronze turning dark, etc. The rate of oxidation is determined by the temperature and surface area exposed to air, with higher temp and more surface increasing the rate. Also, oxidation reactions themselves produce heat. When a particle is super small, it has a very large ratio between it's surface area and volume. Even though the surface area is pretty low in absolute terms, the volume and thus amount of metal is even lower, so the oxidation rapidly heats it up. Heating up only increases the rate of oxidation more, and you get a runaway reaction that results in the metal particles getting white-hot and glowing like anything hot does, and ends once the metal is entirely oxidized and begins to cool down. The metals that do not spark are the ones that oxidize slowly enough, or produce little enough heat while oxidizing, that they lose heat faster to the air than the oxidation adds heat, and thus don't get a runaway reaction. Basically, iron and titanium are both very reactive with oxygen, while brass and the others are not. Edit: Aluminum is actually even more reactive, but it's oxide is very good at preventing the unreacted aluminum under the surface from reacting, so it doesn't really spark either. Aluminum is thought of as quite corrosion resistant, but it actually gets it's corrosion resistance from the super thin layer of aluminum oxide (aka corundum or sapphire) that forms nearly instantly on any surface exposed to air.
If you made armor out of tungsten then that armor will not be physically able to be broken very easy if at all. A bunker make out of 100 feet of solid tungsten is immune to nukes. :)

@@WaterjetChannel I have a sample of PCD and one of CBN,would you try to cut it if I set it to you?
0:28 That close-up of Mitchell's face with the helicopter audio clip like he's having a 'nam flashback 🤣
It's not tungsten it's cemented tungsten carbide.
So it's more like reinforced cobalt.
Yeah it's only 90% TUNGSTEN, pretty much cobalt
Big difference between tungsten carbide and pure tungsten. This certainly was not pure tungsten.
I love the Project Farm style spark tests. The commentary was spot on there.
i mean is not stupid, it doesnt measures anything relevant, but i'm sure it's at least collecting data
The height of the nozzle tip to the material or the stand-off makes a difference in the quality of the cut as well!!
I love how the water jet sparks with titanium. Awesome.
What's with the Nate cardboard cutout in the background? 😆
I hope it means they are going to collab on something, I had suggested a unique knife pattern on Nates channel.

Sparkling test, with proper testing voice, was awesome!
The circles of metal aren't the same thickness. The titanium was considerably thinner than the others. Wouldn't that effect the cut?

And that's why titanium is used to color fireworks, those clean white sparks.

Idk bro idk
If Bobcat Goldthwait owned a waterjet
If you could get your hands on boron carbide, its harder than tungsten carbide
how about cubic boron nitride? one step behind diamond
Very nice.
Incorrect, AR steel is ABRASION REISTANT. Hardened Steel is hardened. I don't know if this point of fact would impact the outcome I only mention it for clarity and Internet clout.
I'm pretty sure steel with high graphite content is self lubricating so it doesn't have to be harder to be abrasion resistant.
Not sure if you've done it already but ur carbide tip are very brittle and they shatter when you drop em, put one in a hardening oven and see what happens!!
5:35 why Mitchell start talking like the Mike Meyers iteration of the Cat in the Hat?
Search for Bobcat Goldthwait, I am sure this is the impression he is making.
This attempt to cut Tungsten Carbide was pretty inconclusive.
We are witnessing their slow descent into Insanity one episode at a time
We wanna test how hard these things are
Because we do
I wonder how Chromium would fair.
It is the hardest metal however it does not have then density of tungsten.
Why does the the titanium spark?
This is science done right.
craziest thing I have cut on a flow waterjet is silicone carbide armor tiles. 3/16" thick, cutting speed of 20 minutes per inch.

titanium is more machinable than mild steel? is MS "sticky" or something? I thought titanium was really brittle and annoying to machine.

If the "machinability" score was specifically with regards to water cutting, those factors wouldn't be that big of a deal so might give it a better score in that regard.

There is a difference between hardness and strength, you're testing strength
Yes, there IS a difference between strength and hardness. It's clear, from the conclusion of your comment, you don't know what it is though.
Tungsten carbide is uncutable. But u drop it on a concrete floor or use a hammer at it and it will crack or shatter. So it does hsve weat point.
