The Evolution Of Cutting Tools

The story begins with how cutting tools evolved from simple paleolithic stone edges to the knives, axes and other basic metal cuttings tools via the copper, bronze, and iron age. From there we look at the discoveries of metallurgy during the industrial era, the rise of steel, and the evolution of machine tools. We explore the advancements of the tooling mills, lathes and shapers used as cutting tool materials moved from high-speed steel to carbides, and other exotic cutting materials.

Is steel an alloy?

[@GearQuest]

@@dixie_rekd9601 Its a grey area. Steel is called an alloy because it is the combination of mostly iron and various elements like carbon, phosphorus, silicon, manganese, chromium, etc. These other elements enhance material properties like hardness, ductility, corrosion resistance, wear resistance of steel.

[@dixie_rekd9601]

@@GearQuest ive never heard it called an alloy personally, I had always been told an alloy is an intentional blend of metals, rather than a coincidental mixture of impurities

Thank you for this amazing video!

[@conradmcdougall3629]

I'm glad you no longer pop your p's when speaking into the microphone.

[@FrankieJames7]

I am a ballistic engineer, and when i first learned why metal is so strong it was compared to paper. if you have a solid sheet of paper and apply force to it, it will rip, and the rip will continue all the way to the other side with little effort. now take the same material, paper, cut it into strands, and weave those strands together perpendicularly, if you rip that paper the rip will get stopped at the strand boundary/separation. I've never seen footage of this tangling effect on real metal grains. that was really cool how you showed grains shifting under stress

[@kindlin]

I also hadn't seen actual grains undergo plastic deformation. I would love to see a lot more of it. Also, that paper analogy is pretty good.

[@chucktaylor4958]

Amazing.

[@seanriopel3132]

There are videos of dislocations of individual metal grains migrating as well as magnified cutting interfaces.

[@jellybeanpowder]

My favorite part is how in depth you go into everything. That's what I look forward to! I watched this thinking it would be a brief overview of the timeline of milestones in cutting tools. It was wonderful to learn more about the process of hardening and why things are the way they are. I can always count on an educational video. I don't care if these videos take a long time to come out as long as they maintain a quality like this one.

@@NewMind @New Mind oh yeah !. Obviously that depends on the subject, I won't have everything. But my viewer request is "the history of the catalytic converter" I honestly had no idea that the catalytic converter was such a big subject, oh man do I wish I had enough time to research and learn about the history, Why it was invented, where it all started, and where it is today. After doing that episode on my Channel I quickly realized how we are in 2020 and we're still blowing about 80% of the energy of a gallon of gasoline right out of the tailpipe, and in the case of the catalytic converter, the catalytic converter is with burning most of that energy to reduce emissions, something's got to change soon, that's a lot of energy being dumped.

[@CatNolara]

7:55 I spotted an error there: cast iro has actually more carbon than all steels. It's so much that the carbon can't stay in solution and forms small graphite grains, which give the cast iron its properties (self lubrication, brittleness, good dampening of vibrations). Pure iron however, with no or only a little carbon, is pretty soft and malluable.
