HYDRAULIC PRESS VS TITANIUM AND CARBON FIBER, BENDING TEST

With the help of a hydraulic press, we will test the strength of various materials. Bending test. Brass, Titanium, Carbon fiber, Steel

[@Good-idea-maker]

Absolutely completely insane that Ocean Gate could hear their pressure chamber tearing apart on every dive and they didn’t immediately abort the design and restart from scratch.

[@philipstaite4775]

I would have said ideally there wouldn't have been any snaps/pops etc. coming from the hull. Every one represents a small breakage in the structure, some flaw from manufacturing. However, that level of perfection might be unrealistic. With a sufficient (necessary) margin of safety you could cycle it (dive) unmanned and ensure there weren't too many pops/cracks or "adjustments"... But then, I wouldn't want to have *any* ongoing "accustic events" on subsequent dives. Those represent ongoing, *accumulating* damage, not a one-time settling-in. I believe you are correct, it was insane to continue using it, knowing the structure was weakening with every cycle. A catastrophic failure was a question of when, not if.

[@dirkheubel2899]

High speed steel (HSS) terminology probably comes from the factthat the drill bits, router bits etc. Made out of them can be run at higher cutting speed (and resulting temperature ) than high carbon steel ( traditional tool steel) can be. It can be run to red hot temperature, it will soften, but reharden to it original hardness upon cooling. Tool steel gradually softens above a few hundred degrees C. It needs to be quenched at red hot heat to reharden it an then tempered to the desired hardness to suit the tool's purpose. You can drill through steel without the use of coolant. Note that carpenters tools such as chisels, and metal working tools such as cold chisels, centre punches etc are made out of tool steel and not HSS. Such tools would fractures at the first blow with a hammer or mallet. Nothing structural is made from HSS , apart for entertainment I cannot imagine why such an unsuitable material was included in the tests. But the the whole exercise is inconclusive to me. I will add a comment.

Im guessing titanium is used in submersibles for more reasons than just being strong and light. It also has other really good properties such as highly resistant to general corrosion in seawater and is an extremely stable metal as far as thermal expansion goes.

[@tasa4904]

Don't they use steel instead? It's easier to form, and better understood. From what I'm reading, titanium helps create a sports-car kind of submarine because the light weight means you either get more internal room due to smaller engines or you get faster underwater speeds because you have excess power. But Titanium is like a sports car in that it requires a lot of money too. Titanium is an expensive metal so the initial cost is high. And materials research also hasn't yielded a strong yet flexible titanium alloy yet, so maintenance is a must or the titanium will start cracking sooner than an equivalent steel design.

Stainless steel is stronger and way cheaper and still resistant to corrosion. Titanium is better than carbon fiber tho.

[@Lauren.629]

The carbon fiber is wild, considering what we know about the imploded sub. First, sounds like gunshots/fireworks were described in earlier dives. Then in the texts between the sub and the surface, they reported "crackling" sounds. Then apparently failure of the hull. That's exactly what's shown and heard in this example.

[@user-ne9lh8eh2i]

Imagine hearing those noises! The dread!

[@mightymystery9204]

Creaking is usually sliding or stretching, elastic deformation or strain, both in the common and technical terminology. Crackling is usually fracture, of structural elements. While creaking means a structure is absorbing energy by deformation, sometimes even becoming stronger before declining again, crackling means elements of the structure are failing, continuously weakening. Each broken fibre creates a miniature focal point for slightly increased load, so it is a self-magnifying problem.

[@DM-rc4yu]

Those transcripts are fake.

[@mothiiee]

@@mightymystery9204 for real like. Carbon fibers great! Its just also. Fibers. Which means as soon as a single fiber breaks its weakened, even if just a little. Even if the body of the sub was strong enough to withstand the depths at one point, the friction of the ocean could very well start breaking fibers, and in the end. Well.

[@johns1625]

And that Rush moron said that the carbon fiber popping sounds were because it was "settling in" and becoming more stable, when in reality it was just being damaged beyond plasticity.

@@michaelyemariamlij2633 When you go over a broader scope of material options, I have wondered about doing more stainless steel for submarines. It seems you get the right stainless steel mix in there and it has some very good properties for a fraction of the price of other materials. SpaceX's Starship is made with a stainless steel alloy for different reasons and likely with different optimizations than what you would want for a submarine, but when you watch how much the structure of Starship over-performed in the 04/20 launch and they couldn't get the rocket to self-destruct, instead a massive structure cartwheeling through the air at multiple mach speeds while venting propellant through holes blown in the side of the rocket from the abort charges going off and after tumbling for a while, the venting propellant finally ignited as the rocket re-entered the thicker part of the atmosphere and destroyed the rocket, I mean that material held together through quite a bit. Titanium is extremely expensive and hard to work with. The SR-71 Blackbird's titanium came from Russia only to return over Russian skies later as spy planes as the USA was having trouble sourcing the titanium from elsewhere. Carbon fiber is extremely expensive and as we can see is the wrong material for a submarine. Stainless steel alloys are relatively cheap and can be customized to have very good properties for submarine use.

Carbon fiber is super lightweight, which makes it great for aircraft and spaceships. But in submersibles, that just means extra buoyancy which must be countered by adding ballast.

This lead to his death. Like Elon Musk, however you feel about him, it is hard to deny that he is a real engineer. It doesn't mean things don't go wrong, but instead there is strong reasoning behind the engineering moves he makes and at the core, it is a good design. If he is dedicated enough, perfection is reached such as the Falcon 9 rocket.

[@carabinias6513]

The pressure chamber was made with titanium and 5mn of carbon fiber . Carbon fiber are usefull when the pressure is from inside but not when pressure force come from the outside

[@SilverStarHeggisist]

@@carabinias6513 The tube was 5 inch of carbon fiber, only the end caps were titanium.

[@davesmith9844]

@@SilverStarHeggisist ...actually, it was a thing titanium tube which was layered with 5" of carbon fibre XD

[@isabelmauricio6394]

​@@davesmith9844Actually, it wasn't. It was all carbon fibre. Glued to titanium rings to attach the titanium end caps. A disaster waiting to happen. Even from the fact that it was a cylinder shape rather than a sphere. Much weaker.

[@davesmith9844]

@@isabelmauricio6394 Actually, it was not, take a look at the video showing them manufacturing it. You'll see a thin titanium tube onto which they apply the carbon fibre which is exactly what they say when explaining what they're doing. How else would they make a cylinder from what essentially looks like a roll of carbon fibre tape, it has to be applied to something.

[@leecowell8165]

Stainless is by far the best material to use for compression. Notice its not even on display here but it completely blows titanium and HSS steel away. Its heavy as hell though but that doesn't matter when it comes to submersible.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Yes weight matters. That's really easy to research

[@MarcusHalberstramVP]

Titanium is best for submersibles.

[@anonyfamous42]

Thanks now I can be an expert submarine engineer tomorrow morning at work with the colleagues 😂

[@sylvainmasson8629]

Very nice video !!!

[@Arikayx13]

The Steel explosion is such a great example of “The floor pushes up on you with equal force as you push down.”

[@ryanhampson673]

Have to love that normal force N

[@chrishatton2642]

Another interesting test would be to repeat the test with your samples being all of equal weight.

[@schloughed]

Nah, just do math.

[@kekkomartin5848]

to get a stress strain curve, you need the cross sectional area, the weight is irrelevant. Since the bars were roughly the same size , you can almost factor it out. However, you're still looking at plastic failure, not elastic yield point. For real world results, you'd be more interested in the elastic yield point because usually after that point, your object won't work as intended anymore

[@fredastaire6156]

For me Aluminium and Titanium are the most ductile and best mass for mass for the application that I would use it for! Thanks!

[@nedrow0]

Amazing video 😍

[@wasrad]

So...dont make a sub tp see the titanic in a sub made out of carbon fiber.....

[@MrSpleenboy]

Honestly wasn't expecting the brass to snap like that I also thought the titanium would have lasted longer than the steel, given that it's always said to have better tensile strength than steel. Impressive how the titanium never gave way fully Aluminium did more or less what I expected, although I did expect it to actually break at some point

[@kevinryan739]

looks like bronze.

[@JansenX12]

@@kevinryan739 bronze is more orange or red then brass. This is clearly brass

[@ashscott6068]

As it deforms, it work-hardens and becomes brittle. If the piece had been thinner, it would have stayed soft. Or maybe it was already work-hardened. We don't know where the piece came from. Maybe it was rolled and never annealed. And titanium is comparable to a pretty mild low-carbon steel. Much stronger steels are available

[@itztankerboy9325]

steel is more brittle titanium is softer

[@TymaDem]

Didn't expect carbon to be so brittle

[@ahmedsoekarno187]

Well done excellent information.

[@Ominous_guitars]

Can you do a Carbon Fiber+Kevlar combo. This is what is commonly used to beef up the carbon fibers strength. 5:1 carbon : Kevlar ratio. It’s what we used to use when I built race cars. I wonder how much stronger it is then just bare carbon

[@sebbel7]

Could u do the same thing but with thermal vision? There is something called "motion amplification" for videos. Just an idea. Love your vids.

[@f.roz1401]

I tought the same

[@leobard7767]

I'm considering a yacht build, so thanks for this info. It's appreciated. My calcs show relative strength [stiffness] to weight ratios [in kg/g] of the following: Acrylic = 16 Fibre glass = 31 Aluminium = 25 Carbon = 46 Brass = 11 Titanium = 54 HSS = 50 I would love to see Titanium alloys of aluminium and chome-molly, etc [you seem to have access to a good variety of stock]. Sea bronze and admiralty brass too. Mild steel as a datumn? Cor-ten would also be great to see. As would other stainless allows such as 304, 316 and the 4 series. Your press-play rocks! :-)

[@victorascencio1964]

Tal vez a escala...

[@keikosan1354]

This is why I want to see this video, especially titanium and carbon fiber involved.

[@KingCrimson82]

fiber does brake faster of it is cut as a block or a square stick, if the material is broader than thick, like a sheet or a tube, the fiber appears to supports its structure longer, so that it can bend further than what we see here, like maybe 20%. Very curious whats left of the hull.

[@seantw79]

And this is why you Don't make a submarine from carbon fibre

[@gedwed6715]

As strong as I thought. But glass fiber is more powerful than I thought.

[@bob456fk6]

This is very, very interesting! Thank you. Rush kept saying CF was cheaper but I haven't heard just how much cheaper is it than some appropriate material !? Even if it costs a million dollars more, a good sub would be reusable.

[@mrjkr4945]

That high speed steel took the name to whole new level 😮

[@makarov9x186]

After watching a few videos of this type showing both compression and sheer strength I'm starting to think ocean gate coulda had the same success with brass...

[@idiotburns]

Inconel?

[@JacobTJ1]

Love it please put a results table

[@bounthavixiong8510]

Thanks for do it for reviews

[@jaydeister9305]

so fiberglass, a little bit weaker than carbon fiber, but didn't really break, might make for good bicycle frames, etc.(much cheaper also)

[@TommyRaines]

Too flexible for bikes 😮

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

CHP : don't do this at home Oceancrap's CEO Rush : they didn't advertise agaisnt testing this at sea...

[@martinlucero9594]

excelente!!!!

[@SuperLordHawHaw]

4:00 I wonder if this is what the folks in the sub heard before it failed. The pressure at the Titanic wreck depth is about 6,500 PSI (~4570 KG/SI). I'd like to see a test of 5 inch thick carbon fiber, like they used on the Titan. The titanium end caps were 3.25 inch thick.

[@Vip__honey]

I respect everyone who were involved in this Seriously the best piece that i ve ever seen on KZbin 💌 Hate off to well all 💟 love your videos

[@victorascencio1964]

Odio y respeto... Interesante combinación.

[@madcapmagician6018]

im surprised the carbon fiber didnt even get to 800 kg 🤯

[@mattt198654321]

I'm not too surprised. The advantage of carbon fiber is weight to strength ratio. Not necessarily the raw strength of the material itself.

[@lexavlogs7149]

Yes the ratio is 46 the hss steal 50 And the best Titanium 54

[@gabrielespindola4461]

Carbon fiber strengh is mostlly against tention, against bending forces the strengh of the binding agent is the limiting factor.

[@Hariri99999]

CF is strong along its fiber but not across 😢

[@LeeMooEez]

You’ll not be surprised if you learn their real properties and application beforehand 😂 many thought that CF is some kind of magic material that can do everything LOL

Wow that was very interesting to know.🤓🎉
