2000 Ton Hydraulic Press Forging 3 Tons of Red Hot Steel | Amazing heavy duty forge video

Crushing 3 tons of red hot steel with 2000 ton press to forge it into giant steel ring. The steel ring is going to be machined into huge gear in future videos.

[@MF175mp]

@Eddie Hitler People in the countryside tend to do that, driving what we call "field cars" and farmers' children drive tractors at pretty much that age. It's illegal (on the road) but it's up to parents and what they allow their kids to do. Officially it's allowed to start learning to drive at 17 and even those who got the special license need to wait their 17th birthday before starting to practice on the road.

[@CorbyCave]

@@MF175mp I live in a fairly rural USA town and there are many farms here, so a lot of the children here start driving tractors and farm equipment around anywhere from 8-12 years old.

[@jacobellinger8027]

they do but the end product is a weaker metal. pressing it like this actually compresses and aligns the crystalline structure in the metal making it stronger.

[@Shoorit]

This is a forging, what you’re describing is casting. Forging has advantages with strength and durability as it results in unbroken grain flow… it’s also expensive. Casting is better for creating more complex shapes quickly.

[@Nirotix]

Cast parts are made all the time, but this is how they make a FORGED part. You have to compress the steel so that the atoms of the metal all align creating a much stronger steel part.

[@draculakickyourass]

@@jacobellinger8027 Well,there are new technologies wich do an even better alignment by casting,i saw it in Galati,Romania,where they are experimenting casting and use strong magnetic fields and some precise frequency of ultrasonic waves to do that. The result is a lot better purity of a 99.999(many of 9)% as the molecules have different mass and a precise align(star shape in this case). The problem they have is the material is getting fused with the mold at atomic level,so now they are searching for some nanomaterials to avoid that inconvenience.
