  • Which is the strongest jewelry / precious metal? Yellow Gold, White Gold or Silver? How many tons they can take? We are going to test that out with our 150 ton hydraulic press and 150 ton force sensor. And how they rank against metals like Tungsten / wolfram, Magnesium, Bishmuth, Aluminium or Iron?

    • @timberwolf1575
      @timberwolf1575 3 роки тому +7

      @Kartikey Kasniya Most metals have a spring like behavior under stress/pressure. So while being compressed, these metal cubes have a small amount of spring force in all directions. In the center of each cube you have a lot of vertical pressure which will spring back up in a bulge. To a lesser extent the cubes also have sideways spring behavior because of internal tension induced by the squishing. So material pulls back toward the center as pressure is released, accentuating the bounceback from the release of vertical pressure.

When you leave the building they have special rugs that collect the dust off of your shoes and scanners you walk through to make sure you are to taking gold particles out the door. It was very interesting. When I saw the guy filing that cube, it reminded me of the trouble they go through to collect the dust and reprocess the gold out of it :)

    You can compare your results to published data for strength of materials in compression. For instance I found a reference that says the compressive strength of gold varies from 20MPa to 205MPa. 1 MPa is 1 million kg, multiplied by 9.8, divided by the area of compression. For a 10mm cube the data suggests the applied force at ultimate compressive stress should be 2000 to 20,000N, or 204kg to 2004kg, or .2 to 2 metric tons, or 449 to 4490lb. You can get this number for any material, just multiply the strength by the area, that gives you force.

    Yes, pure gold would be interesting. I expect it would be a lot softer. The other one to add to your list is lead.

    I have a ring made from Tungsten Carbide. It is 15 or so years old and it does not have any sign of a scratch on it. If you are sad when you scratch your ring, you should get a ring made from Tungsten Carbide.

    I thought the press was having trouble when it first stopped, but then it went on to just flatten the cube like it was nothing :D

    hey, I had an idea for you, what if you made a challenge where people could send you a 3d model designed to fit inside a specific amount of space, you get the models 3d printed, and then you crush them on the press to have a sort of design competition where the strongest print with the least material wins?

    Damn, that press is raising the force so fast and effortlessly that it's kinda hard to comprehend it. I look at that gold cube start deforming couple of seconds after the beginning, and think "wow, that's kinda weak" - meanwhile the press' dial read 1,5t already - that's weight of a good sedan.

    *Suggestion for similar crushing in the future:* put some measuring block, piece, etc. next to the material to be pressed so you can see when to stop. Of course it's not precise as there are reaction times and other variables but would be more accurate as current method where it's simply a guess.
    Even more hi-tech version would be where there is small button that when the press presses it disconnects the power, operator being there to stop if something goes wrong naturally.

    Gold is a pretty neat material. It's the most ductile pure metal, and can be drawn down to a single-atom wire under the right conditions.

    If you stop pressing, heat it to red, cool it, and continue pressing, you can crush it without cracks.
    There should be no limit to the pressure it can hold, as the surface will increase indefinitely.

    • @WoodworkerDon
      @WoodworkerDon 3 роки тому

      White gold is made of a mixture of pure gold and white metals such as nickel, silver and palladium, usually with a rhodium coating. White gold is real but it's not made entirely of gold. The other metals help to strengthen the gold and increase its durability for jewelry.

    • @WoodworkerDon

      Rose gold is a blend, or an alloy of pure 24 karat yellow gold, copper and silver.
