Christian Schult - was für ein traumhafter Sprecher für solche Dokumentationen. Diese Stimme brennt sich ähnlich ein wie Manfred Lehmann’s “20 Prozent auf alles, außer Tiernahrung”, das wirste auch niemals wieder los.
Ich war vor 2 Wochen dort zur Besichtigung. Wirklich beeindruckend. Die riesigen Öfen, Zangen und vor allem die gigantischen, teils über 100 t schweren, rotglühenden Werkstücke. Selbst wenn man 50m weit weg steht, kann man wegen der Wärmestrahlen kaum direkt hinschauen. Auf jeden Fall einen Blick wert!
I have so much respect for the minds who design, build and run these factories which make our life possible by the technology and service they deliver. If someone wants to see real magic, i believe its hidden in places like this one running with failsafe teamwork.
It's incredible that people can make all those machines. Like, everything you see is at least 10cm thick metal, every single part of that factory needs to be handled by crane..
So who makes the equipment that makes the steel, the giant claws and chains etc? What would the life cycle be of the huge chain that rotates the hot steel? It is all so amazing!
Dankeschone!!!! I loved watching those guys at work. I bet many of them are Journeymen or Masters who have completed a very thorough Apprenticeship program. I've worked with German Apprentices - they are as good if not better than College graduates and are far more modest and competent too!
They use an "Electric arc furnace" where the metal to be melted is heated by passing electric current through it. Google for "Electric arc furnace wiki". Between 400 and 900 volts and 44000 amperes can melt 80 tons of steel in an hour (source Wikipedia).
ich arbeite auch im stahlwerk aber im video arbeiten die wie im letzten jahrhundert dagegen ist bei uns high tech - respect an die jungs die da arbeiten
Thanks for ya time on that chap! I was just woundering as the side walls of the oven are glowing aswell, but obviously heat passes object to object dont it.
Dear Sir Very good demo of Alloy Steel Melting,Pouring, Forging to THE REQUIRED SIZE,Quenching,Turning...etc(for heavy duty shafts ) Warm Regards S S Rao
someone asked why shafts this big aren` t cast: The forging process doesn´t only give the wanted shape to a workpiece but it will be strengthened too. Forged shafts have a better metallurgic strength than cast ones : I am a Metallworker , doing turning and milling , the process after forging the metal but I like to be part of the metalworker business
200 000 euros sounds like a lot but when you see all the work done on that 80 tons shaft, it doesn't sound too bad. I wonder how much time it takes to make it, tho.
In EAF metal is heated by means of electric current; steel is made from scrap. In Basic Oxygen Furnaces steel is made from pig iron and scrap, and heat comes from burning carbon, silicon, and manganese which are dissolved in iron, when furnace is blown with oxygen. For 160t converter it is about 350 cubic meters of oxygen per minute. Furnaces used to reheat steel, as shown here are heated with coal gas, blast furnace gas, or natural gas (if there isn't complete steel mill nearby).
I thought you english was native until i saw the end. :) But mine are not english as well. But yes that is true now when you mentioned it about these bubbles, didnt thought about that and something this huge have to be sturdy to 100%, tnx!
Er sagt: "tausende Tonnen pressen das glühende Werkstück in die gewünschte Form" He says: "thousands of tons press the glowing workpiece into the desired shape"
What exactly is this for? The only things I can think of that would require such a huge part is a container ship or something. Is it the propellor shaft? Or what?
У меня ряд вопросов к вам : усилие пресса , возможность манипулятора без помощи кантователя по весу слитка , какой вес слитка куется на данном видео .По внешнему виду слиток весом от 75-80 т , а используемые цепи в работе имеют возможность работать с весом не более 60-70 т. А еще + вес осадочной плиты . Мы работаем с цепями якорного типа - они более подходящие для работы с такими весами . Мои вопросы являются для меня интересными , как для кузнеца на прессах находящего давно на пенсии. Всем кузнецам здоровья и достойной оплаты !!!!
7:40 Its quite cool to se that a huge slab of glowing iron doesnt make the water boil imidiatly due to the leidenfrost effect, but when the iron cool down it would boil like hell. Btw, why isnt this cast?
Power generation maybe? Propeller turbines on a hydroelectric setup? I can't imagine much else that would require something that big to rotate... I'm curious as to what these are for.
+whiteknightcat - I know it has something do do with Wiener Schnitzel, they said it like 5 times, plus you see the big steel hot dog duh. And a STINKY hotdog mentioned at 2:38
