@The Joker Cold steel rebounds because the energy has nowhere to go, the steel is too solid to be misshapen by the hammer so the only way for energy to be released from the system is through sound and air resistance. Hot steel, on the other hand, is just malleable enough that it can absorb the energy from the hammer, so energy leaves the system by being used to move around (a tiny amount) the hotter steel, shaping it.

Great simple demo Ben - sometimes less is more

That's kinetic energy absorption for you.

I see why Blacksmiths will hit the cold anvil while hitting hot metal; keeps the rhythm going while also giving the arm a break. Really cool!

The inertia disappears into the hot steel to change its shape. The cold steel doesn't change shape from impact, so the inertia rebounds.

Great demonstration of how heat changes the elasticity of metal, that plastic deformation takes a lot of the kinetic energy

Mr. Blacksmith, I'm just here to turn in this Raw Iron gathering quest...

That's why experienced blacksmiths use rhythms with the rings using that rebound to get better effects from their hits.

it's so cool to see inelastic and elastic collisions in a demonstration like this. when two very stiff materials (two pieces of cold steal) hit eachother neither one deforms very much so very little energy is lost meaning the energy you put in (swinging the hammer) is for the most part you get back (the hammer swings up). in an inelastic collision some energy is "lost" meaning you don't get it back. by heating the metal you make it relatively very soft and it will deform when you hit it and the deformations you are causing is a result of the energy you put in. the lost energy (or lack of rebound) is because the metal is moving out of the way of the hammer and moving things takes energy. okay enough autism, I loved your video thank you for sharing.

Bro really said: "Sentry goin' up"

The physics at work here is pretty interesting, the momentum from the hammer is rebounding back from the cold steel into the hammer, lifting it back up, but the hot steel absorbs that same force which is what cause it to deform and get shaped by the blow, but you now have to put more energy into the hammer by lifting it up again for the next strike. You are creating potential energy in the hammer, and letting gravity translate that into the kinetic force that shapes the workpiece. Just playin' a funny little game of catch with Mother Earth to shape metal by hand... sick.

I’m no scientist in the slightest, didn’t even take any science past Biology, but It’s because the cold object’s atoms are more closely packed together and behave like a single unit. Heat does the opposite. I’m also willing to bet it has something to do with the sheer size of what he’s striking too. One also being on top of the other and not striking one single object. But like I said before I’m no scientist.

@@cbreezy nah, I'm pretty sure it's because the whole point of heating metal is to make it soft. If you punch a steel plate, the force redirects back into your hand and breaks your wrist in accordance with Newtons 3rd. If you punch a blob of play doh with the same amount of force, the equal and opposite reaction is the deformation of the play doh, rather than your hand. If you use a hammer instead of your hand on cold steel, the hammer doesn't break under those same forces, it just bounces back, and the softer, hot steel still deforms like the play doh.

Energy and motion truly is amazing...

I always think of tony stark whenever I see a blacksmith hammering something or when the sound of a hammer hitting steel is heard

He is cool and its even cooler how he looks like the blacksmith from avengers

I like how the hammer builds higher and higher on the rebound, instead of having to deadlift thors hammer for each strike.

Amazing "dont tell, show"!

I watched one of your videos through my feed and when this video popped up I instantly subbed, don’t do it often, I need a good blacksmith channel for when I get back into it man. Good stuff

This is the one I saw a while ago. I would love to see an anvil hit, then hot steal hit repeating like that. I kind of remember you saying you don't like rhythm like that, and that's why you use lighter hammer but will still be cool to see

this is the physics teacher in me speaking but man this could be a great example of elastic vs inelastic collisions!!! cool video :)

You just demonstrated kinetic energy.

Now I understand why you see a blacksmith not hitting the workpiece every time! I mean I figured it had something to do with keeping a rhythm while hammering, but this rounds out that theory for me.

this guy is filled with the most useful information I will never need. thank you

Dude is a great actor. He almost had me believing that lifting the hammer was hard after hitting that hot steel.

Can't get over how he looks like a dwarf from norse mythology

The dampening of hot steel is crazy vs the rebound when cold . I worked in a forge and made my own tools for parts we made and learned a lot about this from the old guys .

It isn't just the heat, but also the piece is unstationary, unlike the massive anvil.

That's why a BlackSmith will appear to be double tapping between hits; to let the anvil help lift the hammer...

When you can feel the weight through his grunts.

I can hear the Skyrim level up sound as I watch these

A strong anvil never fears a hammer

Correct! You are 100% correct my friend! The difference in effort between both situations is absurdly ridiculous. I'm not a professional in this business, but I've tried it several times for fun with friends who are full-time professionals, and my God, nobody gets to use a monster like this day after day. And it would be almost impossible to have control over all impacts. And it will deform the piece for sure! I'm new to your channel but I'm enjoying it. Have an excellent job.

Rebound is not the whole of it either. It rebounds because it's putting all the energy back into the hammer... the hot steel is absorbing the energy and reforming from the hammer blow instead of rebounding the hammer and keeping it's shape like the anvil.

Great explanation of hammering cold vs hot steel.

Dude’s a tank if he’s one handing that 12 pounder so effortlessly

Bro I love seeing people and their craft.

IIRC, thats also why blacksmiths hit the anvil inbetween hitting their forgepece, to keep the rythm and help the hammer bounce up.

That's because the energy that a cold anvil will provide in rebound fighting gravity is INSTEAD devoted to deforming the hot steel. All that energy that WOULD let the hammer fly up, is instead dumped into the hot steel, squishing it! Same amount of energy, different directions it goes!

Ur totally right the hard cold steel molecules are very tight when cold so they don’t spread easy meaning they won’t absorb the shock. When hot those molecules are less compacted and ready to be moved.

This is an interesting channel. I feel like if we lose these skills we lose our humanity in a way.

I love that ting sound when the hammer strikes the metal ❤

That anvil is an absolute monster.

"Well hello adventurer, I need ye help, I need ore from the mountain to complete the kings order before sun down..."

Awesome simple video explaining good info.

I remember I made a comment about a 10lb hammer being possible to forge with and you showing the rebound proved my point

Damn, that was really interesting!

That’s why old blacksmiths were so jacked, it was a workout, and also why mass production forges like for kitchen knives or those comicon swords use machines because it’s far quicker

Wow! That made me flinch! 😆

So thats why they have the side tap, to build momentum. Cool. Ive always loved the art of smithy.

The classic minecraft getting hit sound

This is why blacksmiths alternate between hitting the material and the anvil, the rebound powers the lift.😊

That's amazing ... It's like priming the material to take in the energy

Homie is beast throwing that 12 around

This dude is strong. Looks like a blast. No pun intended but I’m not sorry either 😂

Prithee be careful, I don't wanna see m'work squandered. Heheh

It's crazy how you can feel the lack of rebound by watching it, even without the grunts.

Awesome demonstration

The steel anvil while its cold has a lot of elasticity due to the firmness of its crystaline structure. This elasticity means that the energy of the hammer is returned back to it. When you heat steel, the bonds of the crystaline structure weaken significantly, which reduces its elasticity. This is also what allows the metal to deform easier, i.e. allows it to be forged. Smithing is so cool and has a lot more science in it than you'd think.

Now I’ve never blacksmithed or anything like that, but once when I was smashing some rocks (where I had cut notches with an angle grinder to easen the work) with a small hammer, as the rock had to be cleared away, I used a technique where I first took a hard stroke against the rock to break it, then took a small rebound hit, and used that rebound to set me up for a new hard hit against the rock. This technique allowed me to work for longer without using as much energy, and this video reminded me of that incident. In fact, I think I would probably use that technique if I were to blacksmith, and had to spend lots of time hitting steel with a heavy hammer.

And that's why some smiths alternate the hammer strikes between the steel and the anvil

plot twist: he was using 0.01% of his power when hitting the hot steel, and then using 1% when hittin the cold steel.

He looked like Mario jumping when he swung the hammer from the anvil
