One of the best parts about these videos is the captioning with its mix of being highly informative and educational, while often being funny and snarky. Keep it up!
Hello, I work for a Steel retailer in Ohio, US. We regularly get beams in from Dongkuk that we resell. It's really amazing that this randomly popped up in my feed!
@@UristMcFarmer I'm a warhammer nerd so I don't know what yall talkin about, but I have a question from random mechanic to Steel worker. In the videos where they are making thin long pieces of steel and it starts making steel ribbons all over. Why do they not shut if off? I assume if they could, they would,. So what exactly is going on in those videos?
@@Silent_Shadow I have no experience in a steel mill, but I did eat my Khorne Flakes this morning. It's probably a case of 'too floppy, too fast'. Steel is both heavier (has more mass) than you realize and floppier (especially when HOT) than you think. The 'ribboning' videos you speak of - from those I've seen they're probably taking phat ingots (like you see at the 7:12 mark) and putting it through a series of ever smaller rollers to squish it down to the desired girth. Each set of rollers makes it thinner, necessitating that the material moves faster because it's moving the same volume through a smaller space. At 14:15 in the video, the captions state that the rebar is moving at 36m/s or 80.53mph. At that point, if something goes wrong you can power-off the equipment, but the steel's already on the move and there's nothing to do other than just get out of the way**. I imagine it's probably also less total damage to let it ribbon and clean up than let the steel cool in the rollers. ** It's _probably_ possible to design one of these production lines to have both a 'braking' and 'reversing' abilities, but it's probably cheaper to design the line so that the material never gets caught and as such needs neither of those two functionalities. I suppose I'm assuming the videos of which you speak are mostly from localities which are more...lackadaisical about safty measures, i.e. China.
@@UristMcFarmer I see you ate your Khorne flakes, but be careful saying that when Inquisitors are everywhere, listening. All in all, Thank you for your response. That description gave me enough of an idea of what my question was about. I appreciate it bro. Stay safe out there, and take care.
4:20 the Fur Elise sound is basically the 'polite' signal to workers that the big molten thing is moving. Some other countries use it as well for trucks, kind of like an ice cream truck. It's a cue that's quickly recognized amid all of the other factory noise. Also the E and D# combo in the notes makes it similar to an alarm.
Holy crap, it works. For the first minute of the video my brain was like "What's that weird noise in the background? Is that music?" I scroll down, see your comment and exactly at 1:44 you hear it clearly for a second. What a weird mind trick.
@@eriklondon2946 That's probably nice side-benefit, but I imagine it's because people have become desensitized to the constant beeping on your standard work yard.
Much respect to every single worker there. NEVER ending, ALWAYS something to do. Wouldn't be surprised if they need to do 12+ hours shift to meet deadlines on specific breakdowns. I'm a welder from Canada and have seen many Dongkuk heat stamps.
I used to love watching videos of engineering like this when I was a young boy. Dreaming about working with big machines and knowing how it all works. These days, as a materials engineer, metallurgist and father, I really appreciate seeing my son watching this production quality. You've got great skills with the camera and editing! Top marks. Thanks very much!
Cultural Significance: In Taiwan, "Für Elise" is strongly associated with garbage collection trucks, similar to how a specific jingle might be used in other places. It’s also used in large industrial complexes to make people aware that an automated piece of large machinery is in operation and moving.
Your captions are not stupid! They are the icing on the cake of what "How it's Made" wished it could have been! And I'm in luck, I need exactly 101 tons of I-beam, discount here we go!
Your videos have always been some of the best factory videos on UA-cam and this one is no exception. You really captured amazing footage of the hard-to-shoot furnaces and slag process.
Video, sound, and editing make this such a great channel to watch for those of us who've retired from industry and miss the clamor and the glamor of 'pushing iron' as we called a good day's work when I worked at GM. Many thanks to the company that allowed you such access to their processes without letting you die while filming. 🙂 10/10 includes that I enjoyed the captions too.
@@Factory_MonsterCan you please visit the manufacturer of the "musical box" playing Für Elise from all korean heavy equipment? It seems to be a quite unique tradition in Korea. It should get some recognition!
I had to stop halfway through to say: THIS video is outstanding. Thumbs up! Very informative, great insights and cuts and funny comments. Thank you very much for that!
OMG!!! THAAAAAAANK YOOOOU!!!!!!! I am so unbelievably happy that I'm listening to the sounds the machines make instead of some stupid BS unnecessary background music! This is the best possible way to make machine videos and because you did it right, I've subbed. If I see one video with music in it, I'll be out, but as long as you keep making them just like this, I'll be your fan forever. You're a king.
Would like to chime in that capturing ambient sounds can also be really rewarding, perhaps for replacing audio that is otherwise uninteresting. Or you could have an industrial soundscapes episode!
Thank you very much for an Excellent video! I enjoy your captions, and the music of the factory is the best music! Please continue making more videos like this!!!
By far the best video of its type to date. Thank you for your ambitious approach to filming this. I bet you actually wanted to go into the oven to film too huh? 😜
Nice work making this. I worked in Sather Mfg. Co. in Everett Washington State for many years doing Shake Out. I poured Grey Iron, Ductile and Skirt Iron into green sand molds making Iron Man Hole Covers, Drain Greats and decorative Benches with the Skirt Iron. I worked there for years then got injured so bad I had to have 3 knee Surgery’s and was on Workmen’s Compensation for years unfortunately. I really enjoyed working there banging on castings with a sledgehammer and working with a Bobcat Skid Steer to move all the sand from the casting molds. I used to work 6 days a week for 12 hours or more sometimes I didn’t have any time to go spend 😏 money. Excellent way to save! ❤🖖🏼🇺🇸
4:31 Kimchi joke here. I'm surprised you don't use a rectangular "hot mirror" mounted on a rail. I hope your gear didn't get melted too badly! Thank you for making these videos. They are interesting and funny. You are really good at this, and I hope some big advertising company wants to pay you lots of money for your time. Best wishes from North Carolina, US. (ain't South)
17:59 Thanks for showing the patterning dies. This is the first video I've seen that even hints at the patterning process. Which I still haven't seen...on any video.👍
Excellent work as usual. We enjoy the captions. Looking forward for more. As an Electrical and Mechanical engineer, I, too am awed by the design and execution.
Very neat. Love these large factory vids. The machinery and engineering behind it is fascinating and the men and woman that work them, a special breed. Definitely one of the more dangerous industries and no thinking person can watch these without being in awe of what it takes to work in it.
This is the second video since discovering you channel last night. If I saw the furnace for the first, especially when the arc starts, the vibration woiuld have me RUNNING FOR THE HILLS!
You are an awesome narrator and photographer!! The way you focused on the distant subject rendering the near subject all but invisible was very clever!! “I can see through this” was indeed my favorite sequence!! Thanks for great productions!! Have a blessed and wonderful day! Always, Andy
I like how this video captions the information I want to know but no music or annoying ai voice narrating. Very well done and enjoyable to watch thank you.
I worked in a steel mill in Scunthorpe,And it was one of the most interesting jobs I've ever had. I worked in the Rod and Bar mill ,and the Heavy Section mill. We where allowed in all parts, and expected to learn as many jobs as we could. Great job if you can find one in England now ,
I drive truck and sometimes I carry those products. This was awesome video to see, how Korean people do things. Btw, I bet you would like to see machine that uses that rebar spools... It can bend & cut it almost on every shape, that construction sites needs. Btw, your shots were awesome in this video! I really like how well you could film that all!
Thank you for this excellent video, which is both informative and entertaining, thanks to your comments. Watching these factory videos, I often think about our over-consumption, in France and elsewhere. We don't see this crazy consumption of energy and water in the gadgets we accumulate. And yet it's there, gigantic and unsuspected... Written with Deep.L
8:28 look at all those eletric motors spinning the wheels, imagine all the engineering required to link them to them control room, imagine all the power to make all the factory work. My jaw is dropped.
Those pots the molten metal is poured into are the type of ones i used to repair in the steelworks. The pots (ladles) would be lined with refractory brick, which would break sometimes and let the molten metal leak through the bottom. The metal they are made from is about 4" plus thick from memory, with brick protecting it.
I think they use Fur Elise because it has distinct individual notes that are easy to hear, and it has a catchy tune that is easy to recognize over the general industrial noise.
Also, an experienced worker on the site will know what equipment is actually moving based on the sound it is making without being able to see it or look at it. Is it a big overhead crane or a forklift? Sound is different.
Seeing this operate on industrial levels and the sheer girth of what man can produce for size and utility always fascinates me on many fronts. That little claw picker picker though for manually unloading scrap looked strange. I would have assumed they'd have a hydraulic dump function up above into an accessible pit. I wonder how much that slows down efficiency.
The chemicals added to the ladle during tapping mainly consist of limestone, borax and dolomite which act as fluxes to draw the impurities in the steel to the surface.
Translation of "blah, blah, blah" @ 5:40: 1% nickel, .03% cobalt, and 0.0005% aluminum since its's most likely AISI 1020 mild steel for structural beams, columns and girders. Easy as making a pasta dough
It will be SiMn , carbon, dependent on grade tapping, vernadium, chrome. And the Ladle furnace will still trim and add seperate alloys like boron with the degassing. Pasta dough you wish. Not everything is 250 grade or similar. And the CCM was fully shrouded and magnetically stirred looking at billet finish.
It’s impressive how they do this. In years past I’ve used many ton of this kind of steel. Ours was made in the little town of Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada by Manitoba Rolling mills. We need to be doing this again without importing it.

also no royalties to pay
Just ordered one of the big spools for my wife. I am doing all of my Christmas shopping from your videos.
Just be sure she doesn't wrap you up in it. 😠
lol
Likewise
@@paultrigger3798 I'm just totting everything up now to see if I'm eligible, otherwise I'm shopping elsewhere.

The best steel mill video that I’ve seen on FB. Explanations for most important things which is usually lacking in the manufacturing posts.
A big thank you to Dongkuk Steel for allowing you in. This is great work. Well done!

廢鐵也有分級，這種沖床的下腳料，算是最差的。
薄的，鬆散，佔位置，含鋼量低。
鋼水要好，還要添加：
廢鋼料，如汽車引擎的齒輪，傳動軸心，角鋼，要報廢的短H型鋼。
測量鋼水試樣，再添加：
鎳，鉬，金孟，鉻，碳等金屬元素等。

Brilliant. Thankyou.

you have paid lots of your bills at this factory because its so beautiful
How do they stop the steel from rusting during the forging, cooling, and afterwards?
It won't rust enough to matter
