To those who are surprised by the low quality and the old technology: this is a very, very , very old video and a company founded more than 60 years ago, no current stuff. The name of the company given in the first minute or so (Deutsche Titan GmbH) was only used until 2007 when the company was bought by thyssenkrupp and renamed to "ThyssenKrupp Titanium GmbH. Two years later (2009) the plant in Essen was taken over by the German company VDM Metals. It was closed in 2016 after some 60 years of operation. The old titanium plant in Essen was founded in the 1950s and from the looks the movie seems to be from the 80's or 90's, definitely not anywhere near current.
CRT TV:s back then had a resolution 4 times as high then any 144p, so the original show had way, way better quality orginal but was extremely compressed on the way to TH-cam by whatever the reason, so much that you can hardly make anything out.
Wow! These are the shoulders we now stand on! This was very, very high tech in its day and the path to get where they did was a tough one with many barriers. Thanks for the video.
I work at a titanium plant in Nevada, USA in 2023. Pretty much the exact same process as described in this video. This plant has been around since the 1940’s, making magnesium, converted to titanium in the early 1950’s.
@@tbowers581 roll into a thinner and larger ring is possible, but usually the scrapped ti parts will be remelted, the solid scraps price around 3-6/lb in the usa
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose. Fire away, fire away Ricochet, you take your aim. Fire away, fire away You shoot me down, but I won't fall. I am titanium
lol too funny! Had more to say but gotta hurry and scroll the page before my wife sees your comment and then oh boy look out cause all that I'll hear the rest of the day is how you had some nerve blah blah blah
Having worked in the Aircraft industry specifically of F-22 raptor, i have to say titanium is a pain the ass to work with when needing to be modified or altered!
For all the people complaining about that their are cheaper ways to get titan: from the looks and quality I'd say the video is from the 90s or even 80s, so don't be surprised to see something outdated.
My company machines titanium for several OEMs. Our main customer is Boeing, Raytheon and Martin Marietta. We also make shotgun chokes and some artificial joints for the medical industry. Actually titanium isn't too bad to work with. What is a real bitch to machine is this alloy called Inconel 625. It makes titanium seem like cutting wood compared to this shit. I hate Inconel jobs. The feeds and speeds are at our maximum, and it's like controlled chaos. Otherwise the tools break, chip or wear down very fast. But the finished product is something else
This process is extremely wasteful. More than 30 percent of the starting titanium is lost in the process tailings. More modern processes are much more efficient. One is the Armstrong process which produces very pure titanium powder by reducing titanium chloride with molten sodium in a special vessel. The resulting titanium is separated from the sodium chloride side-product by washing in water, and the resulting powder is dried and either sintered or electron-beam melted into the final solid product.
@@franchocou New methods using the thermite process combined with electromagnetic levitatating melting crucible inside a very high vacuum is widely used in some places but a much better process developed in the 1970s which can make titanium much cheaper was never allowed to be declassified even up to this day. It is much simpler and CHEAPER and reliable and dependable 1st stage process. And then the 2sd process of using a magnetic levitating smelting crucible inside a high vacuum is used until only pure titanium of 99.99% and allowed to cool. Then the 3rd process is when it is alloyed using the same method in the 2sd process but this time a combination of high vacuum and argon inert atmosphere is used, a high vacuum and the electromagnetic levitating smelting-reifning crucible is used to further refine it to a very high level of purity and then argon gas is pumped in at 1 atmosphere p.s.i and ultrasonic beans are used to make sure that the alloying ingredients will remain thoroughly mixed and completely dissolved as the frequency level (known as hertz or cycles) is reduced while maintaining the voltage and amperage levels. The ultrasonic beams pointed at the magnetically levitated molten mass of titanium is maintained until it has cooled and hardened inorder to make sure that all of the alloying ingredients will remain completely dissolved. But we make sure that 10% cerium is added as an alloy dissolver and 15% to 30% yttrium is added to stabilize the alloys so that they cannot be separated physically. This is important in welding operations. Probably other countries are also using the remelting and casting method in the open air or in an argon-filled chamber.
Travis Bickle ||100,000t Mechanical Press||. There's been designed a mechanical (not hydraulic) press machine, at least 100,000t. It's been designed by the elderly inventor all alone. The innovation uses the inventor's know-how, invention and great engineering experience in the field. Do you think they say:"Wow! I want that press machine at any cost!" ?! The cost is quite definite, by the way. Don’t you feel the irony of the moment? We’ve left the stone age, just now, for the age of the regular space flights! The 100,000t press machine is the hallmark of the new era....But they don't seem to burst into tears, in great excitement, and to start promoting the project. If you'd like or know-how to support the inventor and his project, please contact me.
It’s true. But What this video don’t show you is the quality process that goes beforehand and during the manufacturing. That’s the information that can’t be divulge.
So, the palladium for the alloys is stored in barrels, without any obvious security precautions? This stuff is worth more than gold - so either they really trust their workers or the narrator failed to explain something.
Palladium was worth around $60-$80 per ounce when this was filmed. The titanium likely was worth much more than that...in the 1980's. In either case, workers were required to pass through metal detectors before and after entering the production floor.
Amazing footage if one enjoys industrial R&D manufacturing science, Imagine what the US DOD contractors had to sacrifice and overcome in order too build highly advanced aeronautical planes and rockets back in the 50's-60's...We were very imaginative in the days of cold war espionage.
Di Kalimantan Tengah, orang dayak menyebut titanium adalah "sanaman mantikei", bahan untuk membuat parang/pedang mandau yang terkenal tajam dan mampu memotong paku tanpa kerusakan apapun pada matanya.
ridiculously time consuming process curious if there is any other transition metals to refine to its purities that is as hard or complex? I think it takes like several months from start to finish
This is a really old video and loads of updated techniques have come about, but mostly none are publicized as titanium is one of the most defense related metal and so techniques considered to be kept secret. Even in the video you can hear him saying he luckily got the chance to shoot this.
I'm a ti mill, the raw material cost for a medical grade Ti64ELI alloy for knife is not much, if the knife is made out of Ti plate, price for a manufacturer to sell is 17-25 usd/lb or approximately 50usd/kg, since the weight is light for Ti, the knife company only need half of weight compares to steel. The high prices are mark ups from the knife companies by selling "niche" products
Titanium made in Germany, the metal that could have won the war for Hitler, now made in Germany. Comes from Russia, Mastered in the US and passed on to Germany, this stuff is amazing. Give me a racing crank and rods made of titanium!
This video is funny, i cant quite put my finger on what exactly it is about it, maybe the essence, maybe the commentary, maybe the wording chosen, maybe the mix of all of the above.
chronok All materials have a Rock well number as a standard unit for hardness 90 diamond is hardest 1 is chalk. Don't know where Ti is but I've encountered steels in the high 70s
if you don't know where Ti is how come you comment?? Jesus christ get a grip man... I've been milling and lathing titanium for years... it's nowhere hard to a proper hardened tool steel
old outdated video. i work at a titanium plant. we make the sponge, all the way through triple melting titanium finished ingot. what you see in video is garbage ti compared to what we make.
Listening with regular speakers it doesn't sound that bad.....not every 70's science docu can be up to our high HD expectations, especially if we crank up our ear phones to saturation level ?
Seems wasteful, and people should make secondary foundries where to make molds of things they need instead of carving metal in lathes, or specialized presses to make shapes as close as possible to the final product, to waste as little as possible, and that waste could be melted and sold as cheap unpressed titanium, which could be molded too, why waste? we need to be efficient when making products, take full advantage of the finite elements we have

What department do you work in? I work in primary.
Québec in Canada is also one of the world’s most important producer of titanium.
we have at least 4 huge aluminium foundry here in saguenay, but ive never hear we were producing titanium in Québec?
i dont think Canada melts Ti, the major smelters are timet, vsmpo, ati, howmet and baoti
For those of you wondering, its made by Deutsche Titan GMBH in essen
I thought it was recorded at least 40years ago,which is rather valuable documentary of titanium process developing.

ps : they bought the titanium from the russians thanks 4 sharing : )
Yes haha.
this is the plant when it used to be USSR the USA bought the titanium needed for the Blackbird
nope. made in USA. its where 3/4 of the sponge is made also. USA. USA. USA

nice informative video, but I can count the pixels on one hand
Great video. Who discovered the smelting process of titanium?
Kroll process uses molten magnesium. Armstrong process uses molten sodium.
It’s funny how superior, advanced and dramatic everything is made out to be. Meanwhile ,in reality, this is just another day on how it’s made.
