    This press makes our machines look like a JOKE! You could probably push the 40 ton one under that and crush it into press pancake :D If you want to see rest of the production process for the giant gear that this part is going to be subscribe to our second channel for rest of the videos ruclips.net/channel/UCveB47lgzZJ1WOf4XYVJNBw

It's illegal (on the road) but it's up to parents and what they allow their kids to do. Officially it's allowed to start learning to drive at 17 and even those who got the special license need to wait their 17th birthday before starting to practice on the road.

      @Shoorit 2 года назад +4

      This is a forging, what you’re describing is casting.
      Forging has advantages with strength and durability as it results in unbroken grain flow… it’s also expensive.
      Casting is better for creating more complex shapes quickly.

    • @Nirotix
      @Nirotix 2 года назад +1

      Cast parts are made all the time, but this is how they make a FORGED part. You have to compress the steel so that the atoms of the metal all align creating a much stronger steel part.

    • @draculakickyourass
      @draculakickyourass 2 года назад

      @@jacobellinger8027 Well,there are new technologies wich do an even better alignment by casting,i saw it in Galati,Romania,where they are experimenting casting and use strong magnetic fields and some precise frequency of ultrasonic waves to do that. The result is a lot better purity of a 99.999(many of 9)% as the molecules have different mass and a precise align(star shape in this case). The problem they have is the material is getting fused with the mold at atomic level,so now they are searching for some nanomaterials to avoid that inconvenience.
