Just want you to know my 2 year old is obsessed with "hot metal factories" and this is his favorite video in the world. We have watched this literally dozens of times.......thanks for making this. Please make a sequel.
I wish your child the best and think it's magnificent that he's that obsessed. Feed his interest and maybe even line up a time to visit one if the time is ever right... Cheers mate. Made me smile when I read your comment :)
This video is one of the few that actually shows & explains how the molten steel gets out and formed into cont billets. This process always had me wondering.
I worked for Alberta Steel. Just being in a furnace coat was horrid at times.....somedays I was so exhausted at the end of the day I barely made it to the car
In the early 70s I started into industrial electrical maintenance as a Motor Inspector at Colorado Fuel & Iron (CF&I) in Pueblo, Colorado. I 'floated' as a Motor Inspector in over half the mills there. It was very interesting. Imagine watching steel rail being rolled by a 22,500 horsepower steam engine, largest west of the Mississippi River. At night the sky would light up when they were pouring skulls from the ladles. i started out as labor in the Open Hearth and moved into being a Motor Inspector, which was a maintenance electrician.
Working in a.steel mill from 19 to 38 in is a amazing job ! There no other job like it ! M/S & the 95% loss of mobility in my legs took me from my job there ! Miss those guys & loved that job ! 😢
I’m really sorry about ms taking away your passion do you still have contact with the guys you had when you were working Ms might of taken away your mobility but it hasn’t taken away the love for the job you adored
I’ve worked in every steel mill between Pittsburgh and Chicago as a union ironworker and I’ve never seen a steel mill that clean. Twenty- seven years in and out of every part of them, and I still wonder what mr. Bessemer was thinking when he saw the violent stuff going on and said, “ yes perfect, just what I was expecting!”
Probably because that's a newer European facility. Most of the mills around the 'Burgh were built in the early 1900's and are pretty damn filthy compared to what's shown in the video.
Thank you for breaking this down to such' simple terms!!! I write for a zombie apocalypse larp where, to make a long story short, I need to facilitate an encounter where players kill a horde of zombie by breaking into a smelting plant pouring molten metal on them. I have no idea how any of this works, but thankfully smart people like you guys are making plenty of videos for dummies like me! :)
This video is really dived into the steel making process, it's graph demo show clear how's casting detail. Although the chemical formula we already knows. thanks for the graphic demo explanation.
Steels in aircraft are primarily specialized aerospace grade 304 Stainless steels and Inconel stainless steel. These steels are what makes a jet engine or turboshaft engine. 304 stainless makes up almost 75% of a jet engine turbo core. Inconel makes up 25%and is used in the rear turbine of the jet engine. Inconel is monocrystaline high temperature steel that rivals titanium, and tungsten for dimensional and strength stability at extreme temperatures. Inconel is so good it's replacing tungsten for rocket engine parts. SpaceX is building the world's largest rocket called Starship and it's being made out of a proprietary grade of 304 stainless steel.
Very good and clear! So they cannot make pipes continuously like they make sheets, because the poker that pokes the hole must be fastened at one end, it can only pierce billets of finite length. Is that right?
Process of steel making very nice i have also doing as the post of stove attendar and mettarial charging systems in Tata steel old blast furnaces jamshed pur in India
Steel making methodology well explained, good graphics precise and to the point . Kudos! , we do offer low cost fuel for foundry by the way. Reduces the furnace costs to upto 40 percent
the sintering process is to make pellets out of that ore... in order to have the hot air flow thru that stuff, so that CO can reach that FeO and get the O in order to produce CO2 and FE2 so you can have your molten metal... otherwise you jsut have a layer of iron ore (FeO) and nothings gets thru. the oxygen is not removed coz it's hot in the blast furnace... pls explain it correct, or not at all
I'm wondering if the heat from the cooling of the finished product is used. It doesn't looks like it is here but it could be, hard to tell. But with some heat exchangers or even turbines, it could be a good way to gain energy efficiency. I'm sure many engineers already thought about it and made calculations on that. If it's worth it, it probably already exists.
TOTALLY INCOMPLETE EXPLANATIONS AND TOTALLY AND UTTERLY USELESS VIDEOS. The 1970s and 1960s educational videos are far more highly informative, highly explanatory, highly illustrous, and highly detailed on a step-by-step basis so as to raise interest among the young to encourage them to become metallugical engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, master machinists machine tool specialists, chemical engineers, mining engineers, geologists, civil engineers, "THE WORKS" and what have you!
Can I ask a question about coke making. When you heat the coal how come it doesn't burn to ash. Apologies if that's a dumb question but it's something that I'm curious about
Hi, the coal is heated in an air tight oven, so oxygen is excluded (a good comparison is to how charcoal is made) and thus the coal is heated but not burned, the volatile matter is driven off, leaving coke.
When coking coal is analysed in the laboratory (or it used to be) one of the analyses performed is for the ash content. So Volatile Matter and Ash are the two significant components of the final product. Ash can be analysed on a spectrometer to determine conformance as an end use product. Coke remains very brittle to compensate for the handling in the transfer to the BF where large lumps are desirable for fluidity of the raw materials.
Am I wrong in the realization that when I watch certain smelting videos where they are melting steel or aluminum ingots from scrap I see a lot of them using borax, but borax isn't the right ingredient if I understand now from this video, it's lime? or "Coke" that they should be using???
The oxygen in the hot blast combines with the carbon in the coke to form carbon monoxide . Carbon monoxide is the primary reduction agent in the blast furnace. The carbon monoxide combines with the oxygen in the ore to form high carbon iron or pig iron. The carbon monoxide and the carbon dioxide created in the furnace are recycled into the hot blast stoves as a fuel to heat the cold blast. ...so no.
Hydrogen can make steel brittle. Arc welding rod must be free of water and moisture because the electric arc generates hydrogen which will make the weld brittle.
@@frphxkaboom3008 BF molten Iron (hot metal) and Pig Iron are two different things. Pig Iron is a product of hot metal when the latter is cast in a Pig Mill. This can also be done by casting the HM into sand moulds but metal moulds are resuable and the Pigs are removed on cooling. It is covered partially in this very good video. As it states the majority of HM is used in the BOF but in bygone times when needed some HM could be transferred to a Pig Mill for processing. Beneficial for transportation and also for remelting in Foundaries. Think of the volume of CO2 that goes up the stack when 300 or so tonnes of HM at 4.0% C is reduced to steel with 0.10% C
@@flamingfrancis It's the exact same metal. and the words are used interchangeably. . I worked in a pig cast. and blast furnace and the bof and the caster and electrics.
Electric Arc Furnace steels are not suitable for structural steel. And in the last few months to a year, the UK can no longer make structural steel because we no longer have blast furnaces, only electric arc funaces.
It helps to ensure that the temperature doesn’t go too high during the process, I think it also help protect the refractory lining of the ladle when the iron is initially poured in
If you ever wanted to see hell on earth work in in a steel mill where they have electric arc furnaces in the steel making dept., it'll be the hottest,filthiest, and loudest place imaginable,with 3 running at a time ,did ten years in one right out of school and seen and heard of more men hurt ,burnt and crippled and killed then I care to remember. Back in the 70's safety and safety meetings were unheard of at Bethlehem Steel Steelton PA.
Your not wrong there mate I have worked in both types of plant in South Wales and both are horrible places.I’ve heard about people being killed but never been close when it’s happened thankfully. Unfortunately you can only imagine what it would be like working in plants that are in eastern countries where work force or the environment have little consideration we are supposed to be advanced countries and the conditions for us is bad enough but as always you get what you pay for and cheap steel comes at a price be it the payed by the people that work there the environment or both as with all work places I take the view you are in charge of your own safety and look after your self if you find the grim reaper is getting to close best go work elsewhere. Some of these places run out of people so they slowly increase wages to tempt people back and keep working but there’s no point being the richest man in the graveyard.stay safe there’s no second prize in this game
I don’t know what steel mill that was but I worked at a Steel mill and it didn’t look like that it was dirty and smelly and our control rooms were a lot different

Start with HSM , Go towards CRM , when you have enough profits , you can go for EAF /scrap route or BOF/blast furnace route if you have more money
