I genuinely find massive industrial machinery super interesting just seeing the pure industrial might of humanity the hundreds of people it takes to run one of these machines is so badass
I'm a union millwright and I couldn't agree more. Seeing industrial machinery running and working on it is my passion. My favorite industry is the metal industries. If you ever get the chance to tour a forge, foundry, or steel mill take the opportunity. Witnessing the heat, light, and sound of molten metal is breathtaking and can't be described with words. It's like a beast we've barely been able to tame. Paper mills are also really cool if you ever get a chance to see a paper machine running. If you like this sort of thing consider joining an industrial trade union like the Millwrights or even pipefitters.
I wish I could work in a forge shop. I hae a weak heart so I couldn't stand the heat. We had a forge shop in my hometown but it closed. The people I know from there are some of the people I respect the most.
There is a museum called the 'Saugus Ironworks', which was once a functioning forging mill. Very loud and almost scary to young children. The mallet may have been 15 feet long and operated on a ratchet. They're still open for visitors.
its tucked away but there is video footage of it making parts for nasa and so on, it is the largest counterblow in the world, so the biggest of its type and it hits even harder its said since it was rebuilt, but its been seen a few times on video, has the power of some of the largest forging presses in the world that includes the ones in china or in that category, and has been going since the stated 1959
I have been here in real lige doing fire alarm and fore spronkler system inspection and upgrades and system add ons and man when they turned it on when i was there it was so loud you could feel it in your chest and body and would shake the whole steel meill stephen is a great guy and knows that hammer like its hos own body and basically was passed down from his dad to him at ati
The isothermal forging market includes countries such as the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Nordics, GCC countries, Japan, and Korea....seems a couple more than three.
Its like the difference between a 16 oz steak and 16 oz of ground beef made into the shape of a steak. Same basic material, same weight, same shape but totally different in internal structure.
@@brianthesnail3815Best explanation I’ve ever seen. I’ve worked in forge shops a lot in my life. My dad was in management in the 50s at Ladish and helped with the troubleshooting of jobs on that hammer after installation.
My father did 35 years at Ladish and was the 1st shift manipulator operator on the 85. I recall having to go through FBI/government background investigations for a defense department project he was involved with. More to the story but yea Ladish made Cudahy back in the say.....
Praise God! This press is the same age as me and we're both still in operation; although, that press will outlast me. Hey, it's great that we still have machinery and industry like ATI and their awesome press remaining on US soil and keeping Americans employed. I spent my working life as a machinist and then a machine designer for the manufacturing industry and it sickens and angers me every time I see "made in China" on everything. Long Live ATI and their press.

They need to cultivate industrial and engineering appreciation in middle and high schools.
@@williambarry8015 agree
@@williambarry8015they used to. Back when we had an industrial society. Now our society and economy are based around service...

What an beautiful piece of machinery. I'm glad it's still running.

ATI is top notch, they have the "only one place in the world can make this" market cornered.
Mike Rowe needs too make a video on this!!
One of the sounds of my childhood
I remember my dad taking about Ladish. He knew them from when he worked on gyroscopes for the Apollo.
My dad running that hammer!!
Yes he is!! ❤
Your dad is cool👍👍✌️
You finna run it next that means🤣
Tell him well done! Now that is a job!

The true "most powerful hammer."
There is a museum called the 'Saugus Ironworks', which was once a functioning forging mill. Very loud and almost scary to young children. The mallet may have been 15 feet long and operated on a ratchet. They're still open for visitors.
A machine so specialised that it is its own natural monopoly. There is literally no market for another.
Iowa Precision Forge for 45 years. The perfect job. Get to play with fire. Make all the noise you want. And you get paid for it.
Now that would be a fun job. TY to the news for this!
D own the road from me is a 50,000 ton cold forging press. It is five stories tall. Powered by two gargantuan hydraulic cylinders
That's The Real Deal! Loved The Work Detroit Michigan!!
I worked at ATI in Monroe, NC. They were building what they called “ The Worlds Largest Forging Press “. So my question is which one is the biggest?
Ones a press and one is a hammer!
I'd put a pair of humongous googly eyes on it.

This is what I imagined the furnace as as a child after watching home alone. 😂
What do you do when a one million pound hammer breaks?
Why use hammer instead of molding? Strength? Or what?
Metal has a grain. When you cast metal, you lose the grain. When you forge metal, you reshape the grain, hence it’s stronger.

Is it bigger than big mesta?
It's intimidating whether you've seen it before or not, I would say
1:35 those tie bars are crying for an overhaul.
Glad It's Still Running? I'm Thankfull It's Running on American Soil! U.S.A. Proud!
I feel like we could start a real life 'Jaeger program'
I want to work here

Hammer Time ⚒️
Its beautiful
It's beautiful....
Big hammers go boom!
That would be cool to see.
How is it rated I seen 50k hammer as far as I knew it was the biggest in the states..just anvil of 50 is 1 million
Gonna put my hand in it
Hephaestus' Hammer
It's very dangerous jobs
That is so cool
WHAT?
CAN YOU REPEAT?
I know he said something.
0:28 it looks like some fire breathing instant death machine you might find in a film.
Hoffa was there briefly
So cool
Yes, we can see the hammer without the equally big red arrow. Such obnoxious thumbnail design.
Nice… I wonder what happened to your “Mighty Fifty”
🔥
Lets see it smash a Volkswagen
If i had a hammer 🎶 i could hammer in the morning 🎶 🎤
💪⚒️
I can take it in a fight
Or another loud continuous pounding you might hear is me slaying poon.
Rosie and her sisters
Stop lying. You and I both know the only poon you ever touched was your mom's, when you fell out of it.
Tell her I said hi, by the way.
This Industrial plant wants all time get lined...! 😄(Judas Priest - Steeler (Official Audio)]
What will happen if a human falls in ?
Red mush
@@jamesfaller5680 damnnnnnn!!
Um... I think they might change shape ever so slightly and cease to do that thing essential to living called breathing.
If you think this is a large hammer. Check out the hammers that forge jet engine parts..
You must not have watched the video.
That hammer ain't shiii. Look up the hammer in my home state in cudahay, Wisconsin. 10 stories tall 🤣
That's literally the hammer featured in this video. You're talking about the same hammer.
dumbass....
0:56 all his workers probably know 10 times more than him.
Iv seen way bigger this is not the biggest hammer in the world, If anything this hammer is a Miget
Before the plandemic we spent a bunch of money...*gulp.
I watched the whole thing and i still doont know where it is. Cut-a-hay? Where is that?
Cudahy, WI near Milwaukee
