There are years of experience behind that team! The guy operating the pincers, and the boss, especially! Anyone know what those pincers are called?

Вот ведь, а начиналось все с железного мякиша.

Forged is stronger than cast, better crystal structure in the metal

@@KibblesNbytes crystal structure depends on post-cast or post-forge heat treatment

Crystal structure is indeed effected by post heat treatment, but the grain direction is manipulated by hot forging producing a far stronger product. The only exception to this is single crystal casting which is extremely expensive and difficult to do, so it is limited to small specialised applications like high pressure turbine blades for gas turbine engines, etc. Don’t you think they would be using a far cheaper / easier casting instead of this complex slow process if it only relies on final heat treatment?

@@rachels209 all I know is that no matter method of manufacture heat treatment can give literally different products with completely different crystal structures and characteristics. When steel is red-hot and hammered every which way there is exactly zero focus on any future crystal structures.

Cast too brittle
