The World Biggest Heavy Duty Hammer Forging Factory

[@OffGridInvestor]

Gotta love it when you're running the crane and you've got 3 different idiots all giving you different hand signals.

[@rustyduktape]

I thought the same exact thing: look at these yahoos all giving different hand signals. I can hear the old timer fiery Italian operator I worked with for a bit: "I only need one of you fuckin' assholes waving your hands at me!!"

Are they breathing helium?

[@ГаврилоПринцип-и7ф]

6:05 if anyone was wondering why there's no scale on that one, it's because they're forging titanium and it's oxidizing much less than steel. edit: at 13:52 is also titanium

[@marvindebot3264]

That's mother of a lump of Ti!

[@samh5550]

If you could know, what exactly should I search for to get the sound effect same as in 6:05? I mean same level of strong metal hit.

If thats actually titanium, its the single most expensive piece of billet I've ever seen.

Are there any videos of the actual forge hammer itself being made? And, what type of metal or alloy is used to make the hammer and its components?

I saw one years ago I think British path might have one

[@garrywright3566]

Check out my reply I mentioned about the big steam fordshammer we converted to air operation with 6 giant Caterpillar compressors. There were only 2 of that giant foreshammer made in the world one was in Russia and 1 was in Gardena California at R plant Martin Marietta.

8:10 gotta love the “bump the hump” technique applied on such a massive scale. I know it from straightening old handsaw blades, but cool to see it used in such an industrial process. I guess it’s just universal concept for flattening metal.

[@christophersiderius7758]

Dloes anyone know what some of these parts are used for or machined into?

[@ph11p3540]

High pressure vessel domes such as a power plant heat exchanger. Others are custom or short production run machine parts like timing gears for heavy ship engines.

[@garrywright3566]

Where’s the forge that made the forge? The parts, dies, etc. are astonishingly huge.

[@stevenhernandeziii8520]

Where is this industrial forging plant located? Seems like a pretty large yet well-maintained facility. Especially when you consider what comes with an Industry like Forging and Steel Mills.... This is a clean facility. Terrible with proper PPE. Safety glasses are cheap

[@garrywright3566]

One was in Gardena California at the Martin Marietta facility that I worked at worked on that machine actually it was air operated used to be steam only 2 of them in the world.

[@-BEASTOR-]

12:30 what is that liquid? Some kind of oil?

[@gregorysolomon1727]

All this complete production was at Crucible Steel Corporation in a small town of Salwey NY . At my time there were 1200 employees. This plant was able to produce the best steel in the world. Its metals used for the manufacturing parts in aircrafts submarines and other important indicates. To my dismay this plant shut the doors and not exist any more! 😮USA was not able to compete with other countries metal producers. 😢

I used to work at Harvey and Martin Marietta special metals in Gardena and torrents I was Mill right and their maintenance department are repaired a lot of equipment seeing here. The giant mass depressed and a giant sure we manufactured specit's manufactured special metals majority of it was titanium. Is hard job great workshop. I was the one in the cage where they brought me all the machinery gear boxes and hydraulics there will require to clean them before bringing them in I had spares on the shelf. I was the one that would go up on top of the Crane and change the industrial lights up on top up on top nobody had they got to do it. I did the ones over my shop and that was a mistake I started having to do everybody's well well we're limiting this department.

if there was ever a video that showed the need for better communications it was the start of this one there was more frantic handwaving going on in here than someone leaving on a cruise ship you could literally see the frustration and the guy headpieces and some sort of communication is needed here desperately especially in this type of very critical and dangerous situation I imagine if you missed this up at costs the company quite a bit of money

That looks like one half of the upgraded titanium sphere for the Alvin deep sea sub.

[@Paul-zz8lu]

Alvin's half spheres were forged at ATI Ladish Forging in Cudahy Wisconsin in 2009. I was a crew member on that day in Ladish building 66. Pure Titanium. There is video of Alvin being rebuilt and the forgings being made on KZbin... look up "Alvin Submersible rebuild Ladish" The video shown here with the sphere looks like another deep sea sub that must have been rebuilt by a different outfit. But you are right our equipment looked a hell of a lot like what they are doing in the video when we rebuilt Alvin spheres.

[@leonardoraigosaraigosa2411]

En una maniobra se debe dar indicaciones al operador de la grúa por parte de solo una persona,, todos los operarios tienen diferente punto de vista de la misma maniobra, por lo tanto las indicaciones siempre serán diferentes o a destiempo y eso genera confusión y es una potencial causa de un acidente, además no es necesario gritar, eso genera estrés, por eso existe el lenguaje corporal, ese trabajo de forja es demasiado arriesgado y se debe tener la debida atención y precaución, además de concentración

Hi. There have been designed the most powerful mechanical (not hydraulic) press, of at least 100,000t, by the elderly inventor alone. But do you think they say "wow! I want that press at every cost!"? The cost is not "every", by the way. Don’t you feel the irony of the moment? We’ve left the stone age just now, for the age of the regular space flights! The 100,000 press machine is a hallmark of the new era.... But they do not seem to burst into tears in great excitement. They're too busy: the dreams about the future, you know. How ON EARTH they're going to build all these projects without developing heavy industries and promoting such great inventors and inventions!? If you'd like to support the inventor and his powerful project, please contact me.

Stressing me out how chaotic that first video was. There are too many of those guys in silver suits just walking around. It’s like half of them don’t actually know what they’re doing. An one of them used their hand to hook the glowing metal. They also seemed way to close for proper safety. This is dangerous equipment. Then there’s the fact they’re going everything manually and shouting different stuff. If they’re are acting as the persons in the cranes eyes they should have head sets. And the way they transfers that glowing metal in the first place.... it should have had more chains for better control. And they should have lifted it instead of dragging it! That beam was nearly knocked off... so chaotic! Sorry rant over
