Very Dangerous Process | How Ship Anchors Are Made

[@peacefultruth9803]

the anchors they make are actually pretty solid for the right size vessel for them! you can see the strength built into the hub of it. there's nothing wrong with 'em ignore the clowns talking about welding prep and rust. these will rust out in about 5 years, maybe 10 in fresh water. then you go and buy another one. they are standard, local fishermen will know their limits. good job guys

[@ManVSMachineHD]

Bars that broken in this video, actually only these bars are rusty, because they try to make a new type of anchor, that's why they purchase old bar for experiment. But the small anchors they made in the video these bars are new and not rusty.

But how do they not understand that bending metal cold, you risk breakages especially if it is tempered or cemented?? You have to heat it first.

Yes,, you are absolutely right. After breakage they decide that next time before they heated the metal and then bend it. That anchors are other type of design, I will shoot the video very soon.

[@cuttersgoose]

You don’t always have to heat metal to bend it, depends on how annealed it is. Hot rolled steel bends easy, cold rolled steel tends to bend harder and cause fractures if not hated first.

Batching steel is exactly like baking. You need to follow a recipe of ingredients. When you smelt alloy steel along with at least 10 different types of steel you get a mountain of problems. You don't know what the hardness is. The steel will have properties that you don't want. In this video, while they were bending the steel it kept breaking, DUH ! Just what did they think was going to happen? They don't know how to work safely. They have no protective gear. More than half the time they're barefoot. They wear clothing that looks like pajamas. They spend a lot of effort making substandard products. It's not a matter of help it's a matter of education.

Ron is correct, incestual marriages has reduced the average IQ to 65 and this is the best we can expect from them. The “steel” they use is made by melting scrap metal of all types and casted into bar stock like we see here. Sometimes they’ll get lucky and find a section that’ll bend cold.
