If your youTube car isn't going to live to see another summer, what are you building to race next? Love, a Volvo enthusiast/pro for the last...longer than I care to admit ;)
Actually it is gonna be super easy - barely an inconvenient.... There are hydraulik presses on ebay, also having one with 12 tons for reasons close to my bedroom... Cost 200$ + shipping. He was definately talking to freaks like me.
@@EREMIT-DE we have four hydraulic presses at the farm. The biggest one I do believe are around 60t and can't remember the three others. I don't really use them much but others do and so far only had one ambulance to come.
(BF)Good,rich and Kleber joke. I General(ly) hold myself if I find a joke entertaining, but sometimes I become temporarily (in)Continental and let out a little. It's a real Achilles heel of mine, but every time it happens I'm like "oh Kumh'on" and I have a hard time Co(o)p(er)ing with it. Michelin accomplished for you, I guess, for making me laugh. You're probably reading this thinking "what the Falken", but don't you worry, I'm almost Dun(lop). Writing jokes as bad as these should realistically be a Federal crime as they're a real Pirelli in the ass to read because they're soo bad. Until the Nexen time, good day Toyo! (ok but I'm actually sorry for writing this because it's sooo awful... what am I even doing with my life...? writing tire jokes one by one, like what the actual :s)
There is a video from Australia where they tested this with fake Mercedes wheels vs real. It was a campaign by Mercedes Aus and the peak automotive body down here. I'm sure you can find it easily by searching fake vs genuine Mercedes wheel Australia. Edit: felt like being good Guy Greg; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g05gODNU04Q.html
Angry Trucker the meaning of ricer has been lost now because as soon as someone put a mod that changes the appearance and isn't a person who is professional they get called a ricer
also the proof taht steel rims are better than cast aliminium, most damage you do to a steel rim during practical application can actually be fixed, once an aluminium rim cracks, it's gone.
@CLureCo they do, but an aluminium rim needs to be welded ( if it can be saved ), a steel rim just needs a few blows with a hammer and it can be re-used.
But in a minor collision with e.g. a curb, the steel may bend while the aluminum is completely unscathed. It's all about what you intend to do with your vehicle.
@@Keldor314 trust me ;) i've seen lots of aluminium rims break with a ''minor collision''. and besides that. a steel rim is way easier and cheaper to replace/repair than a aluminium rim
AVE (ru-vid.com). He's the actual Canadian all your favorite youtubers are imitating. Safety squints, don't let the magic pixies out, corn-tact, chooch factor etc. This waterjet guy sounds cool, but his channel is pretty fresh having started up in September of '16.
Good quality OEM alloy wheels or real BBS don't fail like this, normally. There's a nice video of, I believe, Mercedes or VW wheels being tested, running up a curb at 100km/h. They use an OEM wheel, and an aftermarket replica that's supposed to look like the OEM wheel. Of course, the OEM wheel bends, the aftermarket one shatters.
@Jason Poole Their strength mostly depends on whether alloy wheels are cast or forged, but the quality of casting varies greatly across brands. I think you're pretty unlikely to encounter anything on a track that will cause an alloy to fail though, it would more likely be something like a pothole on the road. I've never damaged one on the track but chipped,cracked and dented on the road due to poor road surface. I'm with you on the off road vehicles though.
I hit a massive pot hole in an old car with steel wheels once. The rim bent badly, but the tire maintained pressure and I was able to get home without putting on the spare. It cost $30 at a junkyard for a replacement rim. I love how my alloy wheels look now, but you can't beat the resiliency and economy of steel wheels. Alloys also tend to corrode along the tire bead and cause slow leaks as they age.
I'd like to see the strength difference between cast aluminum wheels (like the ones you just tested) and forged aluminum wheels (which are typically lighter and much more expensive).
They arent much stronger in generell but the forged Material contains way less air and i denser in General , still with Aluminium and Magnesium rims a small curbstone hit can create a microfracture and let the rim explode at high speeds (not really a Problem besides in germany)
I just browsed through some of the comments. It's amazing how many people actually seem to think that this is supposed to be a serious scientific test or to offer actual consumer advice. I also learned that there are many people who are not in possession of a hydraulic press... or a sense of humour.
This is the best channel for hydraulic press videos. No annoying background music, a professional workshop, professional slow motion cameras, professional compressor, the amount of weight compressed shown, and creativity.
Even without the air in the tire, alloy wheels have high internal stresses from the tempering process. They tend to shatter or at least crack and shear rather than bend like steel wheels. It's what makes them strong for their weight. Usually the failure point is beyond what you'd get with normal driving, but occasionally they crack from fast pothole impacts.
@@simonoraha9067 if you hit a big pothole on a highway with a good enough speed then the alloy will crack and break but a steel wiil only have a dent. I have a experience.
You should try to set up your rig that holds the rims on from the centre where it would normally mount to the axle then crush it from the top of bottom to simulate real force impact from road to wheel
Lauri, people who get snow understand Summer Tires but I've mentioned snow tires to someone from Florida and they didn't know what I was talking about! 😂
It's fun in Michigan when we see someone visiting from places like Florida and there's a couple feet of snow on the ground with whiteout conditions outside 😱
me, at work, laughing at all the Floridians and Californians who moved here and buy Goodyear weathereadies or yk740s for "winter" LMAO hopefully thatll make them move back to where they came from
People on Craigslist: FOR SALE- Used aluminum alloy rim with 195/60R15 tire. Tread still has a lot of life. Rim in decent shape, some slight curb damage. FIRM at $150. No lowballers.
The advantage is that steel bends not breaks like alloy. That’s why serious off-roads use steel. You can repair it by bending it back if need be. So it’s weakness is it’s strength.
I'm gonna do this as soon as I get home! I have an 999 Petaton ( 999,000,000,000,000,000 tons ) atomic press that's powered by a miniaturized neutron star at home.
structural welder here!!! Aluminum strength varies A LOT based on the adding alloys in it. Some have 20,000psi strength, others have 130,000 psi. (at least that's the strongest I tested) The same goes with steel. It can be soft and maluable, or very hard and brittle
lifesabitch90 mechanical engineer here confirming all your statements above. Also important to note that materials engineering is a whole separate world of science. The geometry of these wheels were wildly different and the uncontrolled nature of the experiment determined no conclusion about the wheels with the unrealistic scenario of a hydraulic press, it’s just for fun. Having said that, not only can some aluminum alloys have a higher tensile strength than some steels, but the slope of the stress/strain curve can be different which can make a metal more or less brittle. Not to mention again that geometry of structure is just as important as the material
Joseph Collins but I do… as I have built bridges and designed trusses in buildings. I'm just happy you're not one of the many twatwaffles that tries to argue the obvious. (such seen in the below comments)
If you manage to find a single really high quality forged wheel, maybe one that's already been in an accident so it won't be missed so much, you could try that too. It would be interesting to see if there's a big difference between a basic wheel like that and something really high quality like the top of the line BBS, Rays or Enkei that are used on race cars.
Of course, that's the obvious part. But how different are they really and how does the forged counterpart react, it would just be interesting to see. Like all videos on this channel :D
Where are you from. You sound like the guy that I called when I’m trying to repair my computer. I kept saying what? Then it made sense and he said crush your computer ha ha.
A little unfair comparing a 4 lug to a 5 lug. Alloy wheels can be made pretty strong, but typically, given equal sizes, steel rims are typically rated for higher vehicle weights. I think some of that is the cost of heavy duty alloy wheels is likely considerably higher than making heavy duty steel rims.
@Super1di0t: I assume you are posting this intentionally because of your name and you are trying to be funny but just in case... Go and look up the definition of alloy. "a substance composed of two or more metals, or of a metal or metals with a nonmetal, intimately mixed, as by fusion or electrodeposition." Please pay attention to the part where it says "or of a metal or metals with a nonmetal," Steel is ABSOLUTELY an alloy. This is something that is called a fact, as in... not an opinion.
In America, they call rim that isn't a "steel" rim, "Alloy rim". I don't know how it is in other countries. While this might not be scientifically correct, that is how they market wheels in America.
Cast iron has less iron in it than steel. Iron is not an alloy, but cast iron is. Steel alloys can still be made stronger than the strongest titanium alloys.
This doesn't take into account different blends for the aluminum and it doesn't account for different manufacturing methods. There's a reason that wheels have a load rating, and why they differ for different cars.
I worked in a wheel shop and we'd fix wheels of all sorts as well as doing basic tire shop jobs and way more wheels than you would think possible came in like this lol people are dumb as shit
bloodseedrums I mean steel wheels have a lot more rotating mass so it if requires more force to brake. Which also increases wear and brake fade. Steel wheels are also usually smaller and h keel more material towards the center. It gives them a smaller moment of inertia. Thus decreasing their capacity for larger brake disks
Good thing about steel wheels offroad is if you somehow bend it enough to lose air, you have a chance of bending it back pretty close and making it back. Can't really do much about a cracked alloy wheel on the trail
Alloy rims seemed to have brittle failure mode and steel rims ductile. Ductile failure is considered better, in other words not exploding on your face suddenly. :D You should have more sensitive force gauge and have it draw graph on your computer as well.
and did you know the alloy or aluminum rims are mostly magnesium and if a car catches fire, the rims will actually burn just like a tracer bullet, they will make the fire hotter. and if you have seen a car burn, and see no rims left after the fire, it was magnesium. it will look like someone stole the wheels and then set the car on fire. they do not melt, aluminum is way to soft to make a car rim, and thats why in this video the mag rims crack and pop into little parts. mag, short for magnesium
fantastic videos as always :) been watching a long time, and never commented yet - but i wanted to send words of encouragement from a CNC machinist from America! also the new lights look very good!
@@kaustavchakraborty8773 An alloy is composed of at least 2 elements and 1 has to be a metal. By your definition Carbon Steel wouldn't be an alloy, do to having only 1 metal in it, that being Iron.
the steel wheels tested looked 100 years old. They are cheap and reliable thats why many cars come with them still and with hubcaps. They can take a beating of normal road bs like pot holes and curbs. Allow wheels are used to save weight , increase air flow to brakes. there are pros and cons to both.
