11:00 My company repairs and refurbishes the cone things. We took about 2 months to fix two because they were so big and our shop was working on other machines that required the use of our floor pit in order to get the bearings on the shaft.
To think they used to do this manually without robots and computers. Maybe not pieces this size but still, think how much more dangerous it was. Excellent video.
That piece of burning wood, will be our head in the future when the robot takes over the world ~ Joking aside, it's indeed pretty dangerous! one minor mistake can scar someone but also kill.
I don't know about that. I watched some engineering videos about the Titanic and vessels of the same class. Truly massive propellers and steam engine housings were forged as single pieces 100 years ago. They managed it somehow. Very impressive.
This is a very recent video. I never heard about a metal factory that is fully automatic. Even if machines manipulate the pieces, you still need operators to control them, and they need to be careful if there is a disfunctionnement. A member of my family once told me that in the General Motors factory where he worked, a guy once got blocked between a machine and a piece of hot metal and was burned alive... I don't know when it happened through but it must have been in the last 60 years.
True, and we see that human errors abound in this video. It should be easy in this day and age to have a robotic arm manipulate and transport the hot steel, but at the same time I feel like our society would experience diminishing returns if we try to automate EVERYTHING. The folks who don't have a higher education deserve a middle class lifestyle too, and so does our economy and the fabric of society even. Know what I mean?
Hey, what's the black stuff that keeps forming on the outside of the red hot iron and crumbling away? Is it just exterior metal cooling down and falling off, that is then scooped up and re-used, or is it something from the air forming on the surface? If it's iron, it seems interesting that it would cool and fall off so easily.
J’ai travaillé sur le pilon double frappe (la machine ou le marteau et l’enclume montent et descend en même temps) 10 ans de travail quotidien devant suffisent pour rendre l’opérateur stérile à cause des fortes vibrations, pression et choc que tu encaisse. Sacré travail !
Probably a dumb question but why do they form it instead of just making a mold, liquifying the metal and pouring it to the end shape. Would that change/ruin the metal?
That there is called 'casting'. Not near as strong as 'forging' which is happening here. Forging imparts molecular changes to the ductile alignment of molecules that results in an object of more strength, hardness, structural cohesion (voids, impurities, etc). More work to make, but best for many applications.. and overkill in just as many others.. There certainly is a place for casting.. steel is an fantastically strong material.. the best method depends on what you are making and what it is going to be used for.
one of the worst we offer here. Its not only mindnumbingly repetitive but it INSANELY hot and very dangerous. I agree its great they have a job but i doubt they are getting paid what they should for that kind of work.
Watching metal works is akin to watching a fantasy brought to life. From an idea, all the way to a fully formed piece of metal, hard enough to break bones, yet malleable enough to form like butter to our technology. So cool.

Pieces that large stay hot longer than you would think. The act of forging the metal actually produces heat from the atomic friction called dynamic heating. If you keep the material moving enough it will stay hot.
Find a paper clip and and bend it back and forth till it breaks. Then feel where it broke. You'll notice it's warm. Same thing with forging on a much much bigger scale of course the hot metal is quite ductile so it doesn't snap.
It's just the size of the steel. That size steel holds heat for a long time especially if heated to a glowing red. Hell the zinc I galvanize steel in is "only" 840 degrees but the parts are hot for a couple hours after a few minutes in the zinc.
Actually if you look, a lot of the work is pressure and not high speed impact, also bigger objects let out lower decibel ranges. Like a more bassy tone. While smaller things are higher frequencies. Think of the difference of nails on a chalkboard vs the screeching of tires on a street. Which is more painful?
I got a degree in metallurgical engineering and then moved into the rust belt. The guys on the floor often started out of highschool and lived nearby. Not a huge amount of places doing this in the US anymore, but more than you would think.

They're made of cotton, so they won't melt and stick to your skin. Durable and comfortable. (I know you're making a joke, but that's why)

That is a common misconception, in fact they are naked, the body of a steelworker simply is naturally birthmarked in that pattern.
This looks like a great job in Winter. Quit when summer rolls in.
You would think so. I work in a forge and it's freezing in the winter.

More than what the safety manual recommend
That particular factory seems to have the worse instruments for handling their material. Maybe they thought chop sticks would work for forging too.

This would be so much better with the actual sound
