Made in 1946 and much of this process technology was superceded during thr 1970's. Dirth and dusty Open Hearths were largely replaced by Basic Oxygen Steelmaking and the slooow process of pouring of ingots, removal from moulds, reheating for rolling into slabs etc. was all replaced by the continuous casting process. Steels were made a lot purer to give them greater purpose with the addition of processes such as controllled Argon bubbling, Vacuum Degassing etc. The average Joe Blow does not know this but it led to higher strength sheet steel in cars that were much less prone to rusting. So much change to the processes since this movie was made. Blast furnaces are much more high technoligy also.

Yeah, it's amazing that anyone could think that the decline of the American steel industry is the fault of anyone BUT the US steel makers! The fact is, when the rest of the world re-built their iron and steel plants following WWII, they used the newest and most efficient available technology; America kept-on with the tried & true tech, which cost them dearly when customers started switching from bulk, mild steel orders to small-scale, specialty steel orders; large plants in the US couldn't economically produce small batches of products made from fancier steel grades; but the new 'mini-mills' OUTSIDE the US could!

One of the best documentaries ever.

what most amaze me the most are the machine that produce those steel . how did they design , how did they made that . those machinery were amazing

crazy how much infrastructure is needed for this and that they had all this over a century ago.

Absolutely LOVE the dramatization of ancient men making steel (I mean, Yabba-Dabba Do!, let’s get some brontoburgers after this!)

I believe that the basic oxygen process has replaced the open hearth in most places. It can refine the same charge ( say 250 tons) in less than one half hour as opposed to the 8 to 10 hours required for the open hearth.

Back when people had patience for a 60 second intros.

That is Most definitely Paul Harvey. The great story teller.

very good document for steel

It is interesting how the checking of tinned sheet is very similar to the checking of bank notes for quality: the human eye.

Thanks! Now i understand how it works - i needed it for study

I thought the title was witty modern title but it’s actually called the drama of steel

To think that all you see here no longer exists.The US steel industry,though not as completely dead and destroyed as the UK one,is almost entirely gone.Creating what the US calls it's "Rust belt" of derelict steel mills,factories and other such plant.All such industries taken to Asia,a sad and sick state of affairs where profit is all that matters.They are quite happy to see their country suffer and collapse,as long as their profits aren't affected.

Amazing fewer than 50,000 people have watched this. USS put out a book (many editions) titled " The Making of Steel" that is like an encyclopedia. I'm nerdy enough to keep it as a bedside book.

I'm looking for a copy of that book also. I love to read books and work with steel.

Searched, "Open Hearth Process," and got 76 videos from India and Pakistan...and this. Random.

Any clues on the music? It had its virtues.

That has got to be Paul Harvey.

Portuguese Apos ver o modelo da pinça.... que é o modelo africano ....acho que tenho uma curiosidade importante e(que pode ter inflenciado a Marvel).O 1 lugar do mundo que se faria ferro era q África que esteve 1000 anos no futuro na questão metalúrgica exatamente como wakanda ...e TALVEZ muitos dos problemas atuais dela e do oriente medio veio da inesperiencia em impacto ambiental nesse processo industrial e em outros. Translator Google After seeing the model of the tweezers.... which is the African model.... I think I have an important curiosity (which may have influenced Marvel). years in the future in the metallurgical issue exactly like Wakanda...and MAYBE many of its current problems and those in the Middle East came from inexperience in environmental impact in this industrial process and others.

Why does that sound like Paul Harvey?

I believe Paul Harvey is the narrator.

16:58 Six [or is it seven?] guys with shovels move in a circle picking up alloying materials & tossing same into the open-hearth furnace. Narrator: " ...because of the demand for tailor-made steels in large quantities which can be produced with this flexible & efficient method...". LOL

Isn't that the truth! Also both countries industries are now rusting skeletons of what they once were.Russia still has a little left but more close each week,America has one or two and the UK has none.

I miss that manner of speech.

@@bigmedgethe “free market” types are to blame for downfall of American industry more than anyone. Boomers killed this country for cheap tax cuts and items from Asia. Now wealthy spend huge sums in politics on both sides, buy up entire neighborhoods to jack rent prices sky high, and have money left over to support vulture funds like Paul Singer who buys off American companies and strips them wholesale. Reagan policies need to be reversed, starting with ending vulture funds, stock buybacks, and taxing the wealthy at 70% effective rates just like the 1950s.
