    At 4:28 they said over 1000F. The way they need the steel to move, and judging by the color of the steel in the video, 1000F isn't even close to the temps that are being used! The colors I'm seeing are telling me it's no less than 1600F, and at some points up in the 2000F range.

      Big # 085 at Ladish Company in Cudahy Wisconsin is a 125,000 lb. Counterblow closed-die behemoth, capable of forging ingots of steel and titanium up to 27,000 lbs input weight. I worked on 085 Hammer before I retired in 2017 after almost 30 years as an industrial Union Blacksmith. Fascinating place to work, much of it is Aerospace, Jet Propulsion, Agriculture, Transportation, and National Defense. Hard, hot, heavy, dirty work, but it paid the bills in Union scale, I would do it again if I was a young man once more. Now known as ATI Ladish Forging Cudahy Division. ATI bought Ladish in 2010. So far so good, the fellahs tell me the back orders are strong, and plenty of Overtime is offered. Forged Steel Is The Metal You Can Trust!

    Would just standing near those machines for years on end eventually cause health issues? Obviously lung issues would come with working around molten steel, but would there be any form of shockwave or percussive force exerted on the workers?

    • @Reloadeez

      I think there's an accepted element of risk, similar to nuclear reactor workers lifetime radiation dose. I doubt you'll find any studies on long-term percussive force exposure health risk. Hearing damage is a major risk, my grandfather worked around power hammers for years. At the time they didn't fully understand the risk to hearing or have protection. His hearing is awful now.
