Laminador de trilhos, laminador de tiras a quente que trabalhei na primeira siderúrgica do Brasil, vieram dos EUA nas décadas de 40 e 50, alguns trabalham até hoje.
If you are interested in photos of what the plate mill looked like before it was dismantled and moved out of the Homestead Works, the Historic American Engineering Record took a series of photos of the installation: www.loc.gov/item/pa3325/
Big project to restore, I hope have lots of volunteers and fundraising to finish. Type of steam boiler: low pressure (no super heaters), medium pressure (super heaters), high pressure?
Conheço muitas dessas pecas, pois a primeira siderúrgica do Brasil tem origem Americana. Esses rolos de mesa, eixo line shaft, atuadores hidráulicos. O Alto forno ao fundo. Tudo é muito familiar. Pois os equipamentos aqui eram dos fabricantes americanos, como: Mesta, Cleveland, Alliance, já eletrica da General Eletric.
Fascinating to see the parts and hear your voice and enthusiasm. Will be even more amazing when y’all are open for the public to see the mill. I wonder, there is a train museum in Milwaukee where they lifted a large (by some measurements, larger than the UP Big Boys) locomotive ever so slightly, and with electric motors, put the running gear in motion - might y’all do something similar with the mill - forgoing the expense and safety concerns of actually heating anything - just have the big parts move every so often - low speed and low load ?
@@YoungstownSteelHeritage Fantastic ! Will be quite the draw, and should validate those who kept the faith for the years it takes to get it to the finish line. Well done ! Keep up the good work.
Too bad ya couldnt come up with a huge amount of the work ethic, that was around back then. Always missing, and very hard to find nowadays. Any existing blueprints?? Thanks! Love, Dubs
@bcbloc02 our goal is to replicate as much as we can in house. We are acquiring machine tools, have a fab shop set up and an iron foundry on site. Much of what we are doing now is building the capacity to make what we need, within reason.
Great video Rick. Thanks for keeping our history alive

Thank you for showing us this amazing site and preserving its history. Watching you and others rebuilt this behemoth will be exciting!
Thank you for sharing.👍

Be sure to select 'slideshow' to avoid aggravation... hard to view the pictures otherwise.

This must have been a very powerful machine because everything is so big. Can't wait to see the rebuild.

We are working towards having the engine turn over with an electric motor.

I watch Chris Maj making modern versions of all these steel mill parts.
Very interesting machining, and the scale is pretty big!
Hey Rick! Do you remember Michael Manwiller? He spent time at the Youngstown Southern back in the 90's when he was in highschool.
That's the biggest jigsaw puzzle I've ever seen 😂
You might want to consider plasma cutting for any of your missing parts. TM retired but interested in Industrial Archaeology
Will everything be completely stripped of surface rust?

Are the motors dc motor or ac motors?
250 volts DC

A real pitty that one rod cap got gone. That will be a big piece to replace
