As a blacksmith and huge halo nerd, listening to a video about metallurgy at this level of detail about Titanium-A from Halo is tickling all the brain parts :) Can't wait for more, Installation00!
The name of Titanium A might have been inspired by real world US Navy Class A armor plating used on WW2 era battleships and cruisers. Class A was a particular steel alloy that had its outer face hardened. The US also had Class B armor, which as I understand, was the same alloy but without the face hardening. If thats the case, that implies the existence in Halo of a Titanium B.
UNSC Pre War and Covenant War tech isn’t really that advanced. The things that are really beyond us within the century is their slip space drives and terraforming technology. Everything else is quite possible.
@@infinite683 there are many many many things that at least on the Covenants end are stupidly advanced; their PISTOLS output enough plasma energy to gouge holes in inches of Titanium armor plating, implying stupidly good battery, electromagnetic control, heat dissipation, and materials sciences which you would need to pull it off. And this is JUST in the humble plasma pistol. Additionally, the Covenant use the manipulation of gravity on a precise enough scale to use it for ELEVATORS, and do it EVERYWHERE. If you are able to manipulate gravity that casually, your technology is HILARIOUSLY advanced, because that degree of control means that you should be able to do fun things like generate artificial Singularities and use them either for power generation or with some more gravitic manipulation, as a weapon of hilarious power, as if your control was fine enough, you could calculate just how much mass you need to fire a black hole that's going to detonate just as it's about to impact the target, kill everything inside with radiation burst, or be a sadist and let it wander it's way through the target. Simply put, you aren't thinking finely enough on just how advanced covenant tech really is.

Would the caseless ammunition for weapons like the SMG be worth a video like this? I don’t think it’s worth a whole Armory series video, but as a firearms nerd and former infantrymanI always found that ammo fascinating.
@digifalc0087 Doubt that, given Halo was made before Metal Storm was a thing. I mean, conventional weapons in the 26th Century? Five hundred years of stagnancy in weapons tech? It's ludicrous. And I love Halo, mind you.
I predict an "Archive" video on fusion power, and another one on magnetic acceleration. Maybe also one on thruster technology. I was thinking, do you have a 'Most detailed' video on space elevators ? If not, I think it could make a good video.
Mentioning gravitics... in Star Trek, technical manual, sternbach mentioned a process called forced matrix composition where metals and non metals were squeezed together at ultrathin pressures to make the hulls of starships
Finally! Some information that'll help us start mining raw, extraterrestrial ore for our soon-to-be 1st ever shipyard (somewhere in the 22nd or 23rd century).
I don't know... I always considered Titanium A plating to be something that the UNSC had mined from Reach. Given how Titanium A is primarily used in ship building it may have occurred naturally on Reach (similar to a Dimond) versus your proposed theory on Earth before colonizing space. When they found it on Reach in abundance they made a military base to protect the resource, and with it secured the military base grew exponentially. Thus giving Reach the basis of being the last "military" stronghold before Earth.
That might actually work, it would be extremely power hungry though. And if you did it in an oxygen free atmosphere you might even be able to de-oxidize the alloy too
Not to mention that the lower will weight much heavier (the whole point of AR rifle family). If you want better AR lower, you will be more than satisfied by using more modern aluminium alloy such as Aluminium 2055-T84 that stronger than 6061 and 7075 but 5% lighter or more modern monolithic polymer lower like KE Arms KP-15 that around 2/3 the weight of aluminium AR lower (and actually dependable/not suck).

Installation00 , absolutely love your Halo Lore & Tech deep dive coverage. Any plans to do additional deep dives in the various aspects of Mass Effect Lore & Tech on your other channel?
Isn't heat ablative armour on a spaceship an absolutely bonkers idea? I recall reading the books, and you have mentioned it at some point, where the air temperature in a ship went up rapidly in compartments local to a plasma strike. I know at the start of the war it was a matter of using what they had, but it seems strange to continue to use a high melting point metal as an ablative armour. I have no idea what a good alternative would be, but I would imagine something that vaporises fairly rapidly and outgasses to take the heat away from internal compartments, and as a secondary feature provide a diffuse metal vapour layer to disrupt or absorb the remaining plasma. Anyways, that's my thoughts on it. Am I wrong, have I misunderstood some aspects?
Thermodynamic considerations suggest that extra-low-oxygen Ti, with an oxygen concentration of 100 mass ppm or less can be obtained using a molten salt equilibrating with rare earth metals. Essentially there are other elements that oxygen wants to bond to more than Ti. So it's possible to create a process where this can happen. At little like how pure aluminium is made. Unless you believe the USNC is getting even lower concentration using an unknown method.
You know when regards to the manipulating gravity you can ring me explain how you've got 300 ton rounds and 3000 ton rounds with what soon bye-bye gameplay and illustrations to expand the lore. So without gravity manipulating factors for the rounds of the MAC to increase the density as well as reducing the size of the rounds does certainly help improve the storage situations orbital platforms and ships would have.
The storage rack have to be reinforced (because the material density increase but the surface area decrease) , the autoloader have to be much stronger and gentler (since tungsten even at 1G are extremely brittle). When it comes to physical projectiles there are 2 ways to increase its effectiveness, increase its mass or increase its velocity, just take your pick, one is easier than the other. 120mm ETC gun that propel its projectile to 2.5-4 km/s (comparable to railgun) can achieve the same kinetic energy as 140mm non-ETC gun can "only" propel its projectile to 1.6-1.8 km/s (limitations of standard tank cannon).
Quick math using just normal steel as material and assuming 90% of a ammo storage is useable which with good loading is probably low. We can fit 461.53 shells in a 100 meter by 100 meter by 20 meter room. This is for super macs at 3000 tons a pop. A quick glance at the ODP around earth and the cannon size that isn't a real problem. If the shells we see in halo 2 are to scale then the shells are likely some compressed material of some sort. So in summation no there really wouldn't be a storage issue at least not in a practical sense. But there would be a as seen in game issue for shell size and mass.
The main problem with current liquid armor is they need to be powered, and being 800-pound gorilla I am I refuse to relegated the effectiveness of my armor on whether or not battery I use on the armor is good or not, or do I replace it with new one when the time comes. The closest thing to liquid armor that I currently trust is Safe Life Defense Flexible Rifle Armor System (It's good at stopping 7.62X39mm M43 Ball and 5.56X45mm M855 Ball from 10 feet, and can be enhanced to stop 7.62X51mm M80 Ball by layering Safe Life Defense Level IIIA Soft Panel behind the flexible ceramic armor). Expensive as hell though.
Titanium is biologically neutral in our body, that's why titanium dioxide is approved as food coloring agent and consuming titanium tea won't have any effect on your body. What's intrigue me is if we can insert additional DNA that filled with instructions to the body of how to take advantage of those titanium dioxide just like strontium to osteoporosis patients as supplemental agent in the bone's calcium matrix we can make carbide ceramic ossification organic to human without any potential negative side effects usually associated with such procedure (red blood cells necrosis).
The titanium maybe counter-productive depending on the heat level. Ceramic to resist the heat and polymer to disperse it would likely be A better idea for body armor. Polymers would be A problem for ship armor though. Graphene or Titanium or both would likely crop up in ship armor. Titanium is half the weight of steel at the same hardness and likely has A higher melt temperature.
Based on what I'm hearing, we have the technology to make this stuff, and the only thing stopping us is the no weapons in space law, money, and the constant bickering wars between the countries on Earth
So would quenching be similar in concept to the glass bead but in a less effective manner I know it changes the order that the metal is arranged but it also seems capable of inducing a similar effect
Funny enough the SR-71 blackbird what's made with titanium alloys, during testing they found out that titanium in high temperatures expand and made the vehicle leak his fuel, and so they made a special fuel for that vehicle that is not flammable at all to the point that scientist smoke in front of the vehicle while it was leaking Fuel and throw the bums at the fuel and it wouldn't in ignite at all
Slight correction. the Titanium design of the Blackbird was designed with the thermal expansion in mind so that it leaked like a sieve on the ground, and on mission in the sky was tighter than a virgin because the thermal expansion of the titanium of the airframe sealed up the airframe and the gas tanks. Thus why the SR-71 REQUIRED mid-air refueling after take-off.
I wonder how would nano-crystal steel become in Halo's setting? I'd imagine it become the cheapest material around by the 23rd century and easy to manufactured by colonists that settles in remote systems.
I have a question after the armor is made could it withstand being rapidly cooled after being heated up. If so could they build a liquid cooling system that has a heat sink inside the ship and pipes in between the layers of the armor in the ship. Even if it takes two days to get the heat sink to its maximum coldness, if it can rapidly take heat and store it in the heat sink from the armor in a fight it would be worth it if it let the ship fight for longer. The ship could slowly get rid of the heat after the fight, if the ship lives that long. If necessary the coolant can be vented from the ship to get rid of the heat. Storing heat in matter is better and faster than radiating it though not as long lasting. The ship would need to resupply before using the cooling system again but that is better than the ship being destroyed. The Titanium wouldn’t have to go into the negatives in temperature just to what it was before it was shot. This could let UNSC ships take more hits from Covenant ships as long as the heat sink is still cool. Is this possible?
Taking only the base ODST armor into consideration, the only really advanced thing (compared to our current technology) is the helmet. The actual armor, lining, ect. is all stuff we already have. Heck, the ODST armor still uses aramid fibers/Kevlar in its construction even 500 years from now (that's some staying power!). But the helmet would be difficult and absurdly expensive to make. Doable, but probably no where near as good as what we see in-universe.
ODST armour would be more realistic I guess. Recently, there's a research to make a lightweight plastic that is 14× stronger than steel for military. Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene may be a solution to make something closer to the ODST armour while reducing weight to make the soldier mobile yet protected.
13:16 how about doing their metallurgy in orbit so there's never any oxygen contact in the first place? vacuum metallurgy is different that in-atmosphere
It's everything I've heard a hundred times? Cool, here's a like and a comment, checked to see if I'm still subbed. Neat, love your stuff, see you in the next one. *leaves*
I wonder why its ablative. It makes sense against Covenant plasma weapons, but the war was relatively short, a mere 28 years. Humans have kinetic weapons. Rockets, mass drivers and atomic bombs. The heat generated by these weapons is secondary, and without an atmosphere to keep the explosion contained most heat will be blasted into space anyway. So there would be no desire to build ablativeness into the armor and only a focus on kinetic protections. That would mean the humans would have to refit their ships with ablative armor. Refitting an aircraft carrier in our world takes 3+years. Even the smallest light frigate in the Halo universe is already around 25 to 30% bigger than our aircraft carriers. But that armor needs to be produced, which means redesigning the industrial complexes that build the armor to build this new type of ablative armor plating, and that assumes that research into this plating and its mass production was completed. Considering that in 28 years the UNSC infantry was never given ablative armor there seems to be a lack of willingness to adapt military hardware quickly unless its the cutting edge. Now the halo universe did say that many non-warships were refit to combat the Covenant, but that still means that every single ship in the fleet plus all those civilian refits have to have passed through some construction yard within 28 years for a complete overhaul of their armor plating. Seems a big stretch. So there has to be a specific reason to have ablative armor before the covenant arrive. What was that reason?
Scientists on the international space station has done a experiment in regards to... rubidium? I think its called? The experiment was done in space, and they used a vacuum chamber, magnetic field, and lasers. The experiment was to try, and cool a gas cloud of rubidium to the coldest theoretical temperature. In the process making a black hole. If you think about it, the process could be reversed to create titanium-A. alloys. Maybe even a fusion reactor. The technology used could in theory be used to create wormholes, or even warp drives... If you think about it. Edit: here's link to one website on the study. www.google.com/amp/s/www.livescience.com/amp/black-hole-analog-confirms-hawking.html Think about it, scientists are actively looking to create black holes, and in away has successfully done so. To study hawking radiation. I bet 100 years from now we would be able to travel through the solar system with ease, or even the stars. Especially once it is said, and done.
Maybe it could be a laminated grade 38 titanium press forged onto a tungsten/depleted uranium composite alloy core I don’t know how fesable this would be I don’t work with metal
I’m pretty sure the grafton only have 60cm of the stuff compare to cruisers or halberd class destroyer packing 2 meters of the stuff as standard but again this thing sucks at countering plasma shot period

I wonder how would nano-crystal steel become in Halo's setting? I'd imagine it become the cheapest material around by the 23rd century and easy to manufactured by colonists that settles in remote systems.
what happened to the most detailed breakdown of the infinity video?
Question: when is will you start upload in 4k? Love your videos man
I have a question after the armor is made could it withstand being rapidly cooled after being heated up. If so could they build a liquid cooling system that has a heat sink inside the ship and pipes in between the layers of the armor in the ship. Even if it takes two days to get the heat sink to its maximum coldness, if it can rapidly take heat and store it in the heat sink from the armor in a fight it would be worth it if it let the ship fight for longer.
The ship could slowly get rid of the heat after the fight, if the ship lives that long. If necessary the coolant can be vented from the ship to get rid of the heat. Storing heat in matter is better and faster than radiating it though not as long lasting. The ship would need to resupply before using the cooling system again but that is better than the ship being destroyed. The Titanium wouldn’t have to go into the negatives in temperature just to what it was before it was shot.
This could let UNSC ships take more hits from Covenant ships as long as the heat sink is still cool. Is this possible?
Can you do a breakdown of the covenant and unsc psychology behind the war
I wonder if the iron is there to reduce the amount of vanadium needed as a Beta stabiliser 🤔🤔🤔
How close are we to create ODST armor since Spartan Mjölnir is far off into the future if ever.
Join the Instillation 00 discord, he has a very special project.
Very.
Taking only the base ODST armor into consideration, the only really advanced thing (compared to our current technology) is the helmet. The actual armor, lining, ect. is all stuff we already have. Heck, the ODST armor still uses aramid fibers/Kevlar in its construction even 500 years from now (that's some staying power!). But the helmet would be difficult and absurdly expensive to make. Doable, but probably no where near as good as what we see in-universe.
@@matchesburn well...the IVAS get us closer to it.
ODST armour would be more realistic I guess. Recently, there's a research to make a lightweight plastic that is 14× stronger than steel for military. Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene may be a solution to make something closer to the ODST armour while reducing weight to make the soldier mobile yet protected.
13:16 how about doing their metallurgy in orbit so there's never any oxygen contact in the first place? vacuum metallurgy is different that in-atmosphere
Can you do more most detailed please, maybe about different variations of the gen2 mjolnir suits
wonder what it would take to get a 1 inch cube of this stuff made
At this point why hasn't the UNSC introduced the Nanolaminate armor that is used on covenant ships??
It's everything I've heard a hundred times? Cool, here's a like and a comment, checked to see if I'm still subbed. Neat, love your stuff, see you in the next one. *leaves*
Halo Titanium-A Armor vs Starcraft Vanadium Tier 3 Armor
So what exactly is the difference between Titanium A and Titanium AAA used in UNSC Infinity
I wonder why its ablative.
It makes sense against Covenant plasma weapons, but the war was relatively short, a mere 28 years.
Humans have kinetic weapons. Rockets, mass drivers and atomic bombs. The heat generated by these weapons is secondary, and without an atmosphere to keep the explosion contained most heat will be blasted into space anyway. So there would be no desire to build ablativeness into the armor and only a focus on kinetic protections. That would mean the humans would have to refit their ships with ablative armor.
Refitting an aircraft carrier in our world takes 3+years. Even the smallest light frigate in the Halo universe is already around 25 to 30% bigger than our aircraft carriers. But that armor needs to be produced, which means redesigning the industrial complexes that build the armor to build this new type of ablative armor plating, and that assumes that research into this plating and its mass production was completed.
Considering that in 28 years the UNSC infantry was never given ablative armor there seems to be a lack of willingness to adapt military hardware quickly unless its the cutting edge. Now the halo universe did say that many non-warships were refit to combat the Covenant, but that still means that every single ship in the fleet plus all those civilian refits have to have passed through some construction yard within 28 years for a complete overhaul of their armor plating. Seems a big stretch. So there has to be a specific reason to have ablative armor before the covenant arrive.
What was that reason?
Installation00 for Forged in Fire
So, is this the best body armor as well?
Scientists on the international space station has done a experiment in regards to... rubidium? I think its called?
The experiment was done in space, and they used a vacuum chamber, magnetic field, and lasers.
The experiment was to try, and cool a gas cloud of rubidium to the coldest theoretical temperature.
In the process making a black hole.
If you think about it, the process could be reversed to create titanium-A. alloys.
Maybe even a fusion reactor.
The technology used could in theory be used to create wormholes, or even warp drives... If you think about it.
Edit: here's link to one website on the study.
www.google.com/amp/s/www.livescience.com/amp/black-hole-analog-confirms-hawking.html
Think about it, scientists are actively looking to create black holes, and in away has successfully done so.
To study hawking radiation.
I bet 100 years from now we would be able to travel through the solar system with ease, or even the stars. Especially once it is said, and done.
Maybe it could be a laminated grade 38 titanium press forged onto a tungsten/depleted uranium composite alloy core I don’t know how fesable this would be I don’t work with metal
We need to know how you make your Spartan armor noice
Perhaps titanium A means titanium Augmented?
I got an idea, make archived archives and keep ALL announcements etc out of these videies and get to point. And make separate annoucements videoes.
What about high entropy alloying?
“alloys of titanium, hafnium, and zirconium have been shown to have enhanced work hardening and ductility characteristics.”
I thought this was for Warframe. Huh- well I’m pleasantly surprised
uh, what happened to the infinity breakdown video?
I take it the Grafton didn't have this armor... cause boy that ship got cut with one blast... Course that was a super carrier's main gun
I’m pretty sure the grafton only have 60cm of the stuff compare to cruisers or halberd class destroyer packing 2 meters of the stuff as standard but again this thing sucks at countering plasma shot period
im pretty Shure the A stands for alloy
Can you please re-upload the unsc infinity most detailed breakdown?
Why did you delete the Infinity's Most Detailed video???
Halo war vehicles like the Kodiak
Ah science class
Can you do Halo wars vehicles.
Only elite of the elite Halo fans will grasp this. 😂

HA HA HA Metal go clank clank
You just wanted to teach metallurgy but had to veil it with video game lore
extrapolations..... oh lala....lol
Yeet
So detailed and NERDY!!!!
