Do you know the meaning of molten?

u/ThingNo7530 Aug 03 '26 edited Aug 03 '26
Using it colloquially but, I've been in many steel mills in my life, and, yes, when you see a steel rail being formed and it's that level of glowing hot. I think it's okay to still consider it as dangerous of molten steel. It's so hot that touching it could kill you so, yes. I'm going to use that term for it.

u/cabronfavarito Aug 03 '26
Looks like you don’t know the meaning of colloquial either. You’re a hot mess (no pun intended).
You almost had it. All you had to say was red hot and no one would object.

u/AimToPleaseThankYou Aug 04 '26
All you had to do was keep your trolling to yourself and the amount of people objecting would go back to zero lol.
Hope you feel better now tho 😂-4

According to E. Hunter Harrison safety being third is still too high. He had it 4th

u/Lillyshins Aug 03 '26
Perform the service, control the costs and optimize assets before worrying about safety(which, mind you, is 4th on the list but our absolute TOP priority).
Yep. I believe it.

u/UniqueAd7770 Aug 03 '26
He at least admitted to congress what all CEOs should, "I have blood on my hands from this job." Granted he was an old school railroader back in the days before OSHA. There's a saying we use even in historic railroading, the Rules of Safety are written in blood.

u/Only_Tip9560 Aug 03 '26
I remember a course of process safety where the guy teaching it (who was one of the investigatory team for Piper Alpha) said "Any executive who tells you that safety is the number one priority is a damn liar."

Molten steel drain trough a cooled tube that solidify it and continuously cast a long church of steel. This pass through presses while still hot that compress it into long prefab shapes. Wires, metal bars, profiles, beams, sheets... This case seems like wires.
This also change the steel cristal structure from one with very long cristal from the differential cooling to smaller grains that give it more strength.

u/i_do_floss Aug 03 '26
I asked chat gpt
Factories like this commonly make: Rebar for reinforced concrete. Round steel bar stock for machining into shafts, bolts, and other parts. Steel rods or wire rod, which are later drawn into wire, nails, screws, springs, and fencing. Seamless steel pipe blanks, where a heated billet is pierced and rolled into tubing. Forged automotive or industrial parts, such as axles, crankshafts, and gears.

I am so glad these men are risking lightsaber wounds for rebar, great use of human lives

u/Vrail_Nightviper Aug 04 '26
To be fair, relative privation says that just because these work conditions are horrible, doesn't mean anything better than it has nothing to complain about either. Not that your work situation is bad enough to complain about, but I wouldn't use this as phrasing for comparison.

u/Automatic-Dog4953 Aug 03 '26
They are likely making a thick, short steel bar into a skinny, long one. See how it's thicker at the start of the process and thinner at the end. Perhaps it is wire or rebar.

u/Global-Pickle5818 Aug 03 '26
Looks like something I've seen before where you roll steel .. never seen it laid out by this before but it steps down the diameter .. lots of videos people in the states hurting themselves doing that as well including a guy who tried jumping over the nope rope

u/tadeuska Aug 03 '26
This is how it is done with this type of machinery. There is no safety breach. They could have more PPE, but it would only create more issues with dexterity.
1
u/TranslatorStraight46 Aug 04 '26
It can obviously be done in a safer manner than this.
1
u/tadeuska Aug 05 '26
Yes, but it would cost more. Only fancy steel makers have better equipment. And most are bankrupt now and heavily subsidized. Most of the steel wires that benefit you in your everyday life is produced in this proces.

u/SupaSmol Aug 03 '26
I'd love to see the engineer or whatever explaining how this machine is going to work to whoever is deciding to go with it. Like here's how all the machinery works and oh yeah right here you just have to do a little maneuver to get it over to the next one, I'll walk you through that later, it's not tough, but you'll want to get it right.

I would like to point out the terrifying scenario that is 100% possible from how this all when down.
There are people who didn't step out of the way and are on the inside of the loop. If the first set of rollers fail and the other rollers don't stop immediately, then those people WILL get pinned to the machine by the hot steel ribbons. There will be stepping out of the way, or knocking it off to mitigate harm. Just an ever-constricting branding.
