This is hardened iron vs soft iron. The older one is made to last, but will bounce and transfer all the shock of a blow to your hand, wrist and arm when striking a hard surface, and if it fails it will shatter. The newer one isn't hardened, but is made to absorb more of the impact and not bounce back as hard. The downside is obviously that it can deform and will get gouged with use. They're both good tools, but shouldn't be used to do the same job. Edit: Since people still see this I should clarify that the newer one would work harden with regular use, aligning the crystalline structure and resulting in a hammer more similar to the old one, but having a softer interior. I stand by saying that the new one is still good, just not for everything without a lot of breaking in. In truth, yes newer tools suck more than old ones, yes. But a shit tool you treat as an extension of yourself is always more useful than a mythical relic in the hands of a novice.

Higher grade steel used, more carbon in the older items. The first sledgehammer test thou I have some fault with as beyond a doubt it's higher grade steel used in the older sledgehammer, but it was also cold work hardened as you can plainly see from the mushrooming on both sides. That old sledgehammer is probably close to a Vickers hardness of at least 8-10. Cold hardening/work hardening is by far better than hot. Hot is just quicker and cheaper to accomplish. That sledgehammer's probably seen 20-40 years of use.

I like this video because there is a lot in the comments discussing stuff about materials and their uses. It's actually kind of great, based on the banter and discussion, it seems this is basically hardened/heat treated iron vs newer iron meant to absorb more impact and deform vs spontaneous failing, even though the spontaneous failing of the axe took a hell of a lot and I don't think any normal human could have every broken that axe by cutting trees in their entire lifetime with that axe, unless the trees have iron/metals embedded in their bark or something rofl.
@MeloniusFelonius2 жыл бұрын
It's a matter of the grade of the steel, as well as the density. We tend to make things less dense today so the tool in question can be lighter and cheaper, while still retaining functionality for its intended purpose. Also, those are cast steel parts, not forged- so as you can see, when put under high pressure, the steel doesn't just bend, it breaks. That's because cast anything has more brittle and weak areas than something that's been forged. Overall though, those cast tools are very strong and sturdy for their purpose, but when facing high pressures, they're brittle and break easily. Edit: My saying density and grade of steel impacts it is partially true. Grade is only an impact if it's some sub standard steel. Structure of the metal is a main factor (hardening another). Cast metal has a random, porous grain structure, while forged objects keep their grain structure tight. This results in the crystalline structure of forged parts being stronger than that of cast. Density can play a factor, but after a year of learning more, I wouldn't say it's a main one. There's also methods like hardening (talked about in replies and other comments). At the end of the day, this doesn't matter as long as you use the tool for its intended purpose.
@ceilfox12472 жыл бұрын

The reason the new hammer failed is because they are only face hardened rather than forged. Basically they take a plate of hardened steel and fireweld it to a soft steel back, this means the hammer is less likely to shatter when used This can be seen in how the axe fails by shattering rather than bending
@robertpendzick9250 Жыл бұрын
Read down to your comment and think this is the first one I saw that is better than many others. You do not want tool to shatter with its blows. The modern axe was safer in this respect, the old sledge was better also. Note that as the new sledge was compressed not only did the paint flake off but so did the sides of the metal splintered. Not what you want when hitting something. Why carpenter hammers are always used with eye protection (or it should be in use) as you never know the failure point of the nail or hammer.

As someone with a decent bit of engineering and metallurgical knowledge, a lot of the comments stick out as being uninformed. The difference between the manufacturing of a lot of modern tools and older tools is pretty significant. Older metal tools are usually higher density and made of heavy steels or cast iron that have a higher toughness than lower density steels used for a lot of modern tools. Comparing the two periods' tools by the nature and extent of which they deform under immense pressure isn't helpful in any real-world application, as that kind of situation just isn't going to happen. In many cases it's a better tradeoff to sacrifice a little durability for a cheaper and more lightweight tool. To put it simply, it's the same reason you don't build a tank out of the thickest and heaviest armor plating you can find. Sure, it might be the most durable vehicle in existence, but can it even move? Good material choice is all about determining the best intersection of durability, functionality, and practicality, and that's where I take issue with assertion that tools were all-around better "back in the day".

Long winded comment but if you're interested; I work with concrete as a career. The problem with the concrete test is that the "modern" concrete didn't have any aggregate in it. That's the gravel and sand you see when you chip open the surface of your driveway. The "antique" concrete is still considered to be modern seeing as concrete was invented in Rome way back, which actually hardens in salt water whereas today's concrete will degrade in salt water. We lost that old Roman recipe. Anyway, what I'm trying to get at is that concrete hardens over a course of time and is completely set within a few months. Also, we put steel rods in our concrete today to give further flexibility to the mixture. There are a ton of other factors, like water/cement ratio and the sand/gravel ratio, the number of pounds of cement that goes into the mix per yard also, the quality of the limestone, which reacts with the water to create an exothermic reaction turning the limestone into another compound and "gluing" the gravel and sand. The first block of "modern" concrete could've easily reached 18tons/psi if mixed and aged correctly and could've been on par with the "antique" concrete.

Just a note, the yield strength of mild steel is 200 MPa while the pressure gauge read a max of 20 MPa during the crush of the "new sledge". This is 10 times less than expected were the hammer head to be made of steel. While there is a hole in the middle of hammer head, this type of geometry results in an decrease of only tensile strength by only a maximum of 2 times. Further, the metal shown beneath the black paint after crushing is dull grey and slightly bluish in color, not the typical bright silver of steel. Because of these two things, I believe the first hammer is not made of steel. Instead I bet it is a homemade casting made of lead. Not only does this match the color of the material shown, but also the yield strength of lead is 18 MPa. This is exactly the stress value on the pressure gauge indicated when the hammer head started to fail. Still a fun video to watch though!

I don't know much about concrete, but I know that modern, civil use concrete will never compare against high strength military concrete. They measure entirely differently, specifically in these kinds of tests. One has to survive skateboards, the other has to survive direct hits from naval artillery. A better test would be modern military concrete, say from a nuclear missile silo or bunker, vs the old fortress concrete. I doubt your press is strong enough for either, though.
@king.jarjerk42012 жыл бұрын
There's not much difference between the "military" concrete and what's used for the foundations of large buildings. Silos will use thick concrete to line the outer diameter of a thinner inner diameter of the bunker. It's just more cost effective to do it that way. But yeah, you use concrete for it's compressive qualities, not for it's endurance to a quick heavy blow, that's what you'd use metal for.

"Blauer Beton" is a name for the concrete used in WW2 by the germans for building bunkers. It has a bigger part of slag sand which causes the concrete to turn blue while hardening. Makes it brittle, but stronger. The brittle-part you counter with enough steel reinforcement. Made such by myself, not on purpose, some years ago while renovatig my house. Had to remove parts of it again and a master mason, who 'helped me' told me what i did there.
