This is a very low volume process. Transporting a small ladle of molten aluminum with a fork lift is slow and allows atmospheric gasses to contaminate the metal. Most aluminum foundries keep molten aluminum covered in a shielded gas tank. It is seldom poured open to the air. Typically, it is injected into the molds either by gravity or pressurized nitrogen.

How many pounds per inch of pressure would the press need to form the sand castings? Also, shouldn't they blast the the casting with a torch to harden the sand and leave a coat of soot? I was told that this makes it easier to separate the mold. For example, Fiat and Ferrari always have a worker run a torch over the sand before the metal is poured. That's why their molds are black on top.
@largol33t17 жыл бұрын

05tech I guess it doesn't really matter if someone accidentally pours liquid metal over you if you wear safety gloves. With that in mind they're only a hindrance to sanity and good controll of your hands.

That's assessed based on the type of work they do, that's the only thing I can think of. For example, if in the procedure, you are not required at any point to get near the hot metal or have to touch it for any reason, you don't need to use gloves. Also, workers' safety training plays an important role in this. Probably the same job in China would've ended up with two deaths a day. By the way, aluminum requires much less heat to melt and cools down really fast, that could also be one of the multiple reasons why things are being done they way they are.

No safety....
Хорошие слова говоришь, вроде
No euro techno reason for thumbs up
It is amazing not only to behold the process but also to consider that the machines you see in action must've been one-offs that were designed and built just for this factory. It is all so precise and complex that it you'd think once they get the line up and running, they'd make the same model for 25 years.
Obviously, it's the same for every factory
I've worked in manufacturing for 8 years and its still neat to watch how things are made.
This is where they forge the indestructible Check Engine Light 💡
Not forge but foundry
Hahaha

Why a whip?

zach I’m guessing most Germans pay for that now.
That was not only extremely interesting, but really pleasant, beautifully filmed and edited and with no music - really well produced audio. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This looks like a pre production or prototype plant, no way it could keep up with a production line. Still great to see, no complaints here.
I love how badass the guys who take out the hot metal parts are. Has a piece of metal that a couple hundred degrees dangling in front of him, casually maneuvers it while dressed in a regular shirt.
More like 1,221*F
with all this technology you think they would put turn signals in their cars
your profile picture says it all.
I like the robotized mallet to knock the sand from the casting it was so life like.
Thanks, producer, for no LAME MUSIC over the top of an interesting vid.
Yes use nose cancelling bread phones
I didn't expect the metal pouring the sound so satisfying
1.25.17. Reminds me of Flir Infrared Camera training at Saginaw Metal Casting (Grey Iron) Plant. We checked out the aluminum 4.2L inline 6 cylinder block. If I remember correctly, it weighed 80lbs. Nice video! 👍🏽
The way the fork lift operator drove the vehicle in reverse and when he lift and poured the liquid aluminium into the kiln .... He earned my respect.
I found this oddly relaxing to watch
MrShakenbake007 it makes my mandibles froth
I know right!
Later they added an imperfection that would cost thousands in repairs to the consumer.
They don't need to add it, it comes with it.... Especially the aluminum melt is not from virgin aluminum stock. Especially for this kind of sand casting with complex shape. It is very picky on the raw material.
What imperfection you are talkin about?
Yea, sure. Go back to scotty kilmer. These engine blocks handle 3 times the power they come out of the factory with.
That's why people like you just need to stick with Civics and Camry's.
What imperfections?
Absolutely awesome video! I am surprised how little protective gear the workers use. And everything is too slow, and too clean. As someone commented, it's probably a prototype workshop.
ye mass production is in china
"too slow, and too clean" No, that's how a workshop SHOULD be. You're just used to how Chinese plants endanger workers and cut costs.
@@ProfessorJayTee This is absolutely NOT serial production. Still a great video.
@Stoyan Stoyanov @Kass Komvaak Lol this is BMW's mass production in Germany, for their high end models at least. "too slow" is the right amount of time needed for impeccable QC expected when you're paying that kind of money. This level craftmanship is NOT intended for "poors" who can't afford machinery made outside of china.
@@Max_808 There are a few wide-angle shots showing no movement in the background... What kind of a mass production does that? Well, if the video was shot on a Sunday...
I love these factory videos.
Me too!
It's amazing how they turn raw materials into scrap.
Lolllllllllllll
Clueless
Beat me 2 it haha
😂😂😂
Excuse me...it's over engineered, over priced scrap.
It’s always amazing to see a hot molten liquid end up to be an engine part.
5:30 is some of the coolest robotic movement I have ever seen.
Yes, however, if you look closely, the piece the robots are working on is not only rocking/bobbing about like crazy, but it also gets shifted to the left a bit.
I program robots like these. Most likely the tolerances required for this step aren't very tight to begin with. Castings tend to be more material, and then they're milled down to spec
Wow. Didn't know BMW used metal in their engines. Thought it was all plastic...
Understandable. Based on their reliability its not hard to think their engine blocks are made of plastic.

5:24 I like how proud these robots look after they finish their job
“and this is where we install the guaranteed failure points and intermittent electrical problems”
If they just slightly modernized the m54 and fixed the DISA/VANOS issues they would be so popular
Be nice now! BMW has the foresight to assign part numbers to their electrical faults for easy location and repairs. They also sell a smoke refill kit for the wiring harness in case you have a leak.
Red Scorpion 6 haha! My favorite feature is having 17 different grounding points on the aluminum block so that they each get a turn at corrosion and intermittent failure. Who doesn’t love chasing intermittent problems?
@@jwilsonhandmadeknives2760 Sure, if one grounding point is good, then 17 is better! In fact, why not have each circuit have it's own dedicated ground? It will give the electrical tech something to do all day.
Red Scorpion 6 you’re right. I used to think that the goal of auto engineering was reliability. Owning a BMW opened my eyes. BMW taught me that I was just being lazy!
Quietness at this work space is awesome 🤫
I served my Engineering Apprentiship way back in the 1960's for a company who produced aluminium-Brass and Zinc castings - High Pressure (where I became a highly skilled Toolsetter) - Low Pressure - Gravity - Brass - Zinc - and Sand Foundry.
1.50 - they are pouring molten aluminum above their heads and workers are just walking around under there. Love the safety :)
Just imagine receiving a SINGLE DROP from this forget the whole thing. You would be so badly burnt you wish u were dead
Not true, the drop solidifies before reach your skin and fall to floor.
They weren't really directly under it. They were quite a ways to the side and you can see some clear shielding, there, looks safe to me.
people who think they know it better... austria and germany have the best safety when it come to workplaces :)
@@TheEternalHermit let w little moisture get in that molten aluminum and it wouldn't be a good day for those ppl walking around it with no ppe. I work in a plant that melts aluminum and when their casting or even have the melter door open you can't be within a 100 ft of the area without all the protective clothing
This is a very low volume process. Transporting a small ladle of molten aluminum with a fork lift is slow and allows atmospheric gasses to contaminate the metal. Most aluminum foundries keep molten aluminum covered in a shielded gas tank. It is seldom poured open to the air. Typically, it is injected into the molds either by gravity or pressurized nitrogen.
VW also transports its alumnium alloys this way, just magnesium is allways covered ;)
Daniel Neumann You're right and Magnesium is covered for obvious reasons..
George Pretnick Nissan transport from the charging furnaces to the casting furnaces by forklift as well.
dispatcher7007 so you're saying the engine block in my 70k dollar bmw is not high end
Would have loved to see the patterns and mold making up close, as well as the milling operations after.
The iron womb. Where all those beautiful works are born.
Great camera angles for a manufacturing process tour. Thank you for no music.
Nose cancelling headphones recommended
Any one else think of the ant hill videos while watching this? For those who don’t know, there are people who melt aluminum scrap, the find massive ant hills and pour it in the holes. Then dig up the whole ant farm in one casting. Followed by a pressure washing. Once it’s done, it’s very interesting. One of a kind art work of u ask me. This video reminds me of it.
It's kind of the same thing- the molds are made of sand!
0:09 what my mom sees when she enters my room
One of the reasons why there are still not enough EVs on the market: so much manpower, infrastructure and pride invested in good old fashioned ICE car manufacturing
That dude handled that forklift like a champ. What an awesome talent and with such little space to maneuver with molten metal LOL wow!
It's amazing this same process is basically unchanged after thousands of years of casting. The difference is precision.
This is how I make coffee every morning
Those machines are poetry in motion
Claudi M. So is your mouth
I work in a grey iron foundry that makes alot of aftermarket blocks of various sizes. An aluminum process like this is way different where we still pour from large ladles into enclosed molds and after traveling down a cooling line, they fall onto a shake-out line to get the sand off and continue to cool.
"People of doers not of talkers" they transform raw materials into meaninful, useful & beautiful things. I like this video.
Goodness the machine is beautiful.

now if bmw could just figure out how to make rubber parts that don't disintegrate after 3 years...
They don’t make no rubber parts. That’s suppliers business. So they purchase bad rubber.
If it doesn’t brake you don’t have to buy a new one. That’s means no more money
Sounds like a job for dupond.
@@jeffreymuu5451 break*
tarui Rake*
Best keep these open for the future, we’re going to need them!
Manufacturing of mass production. Always impressive.
How many pounds per inch of pressure would the press need to form the sand castings? Also, shouldn't they blast the the casting with a torch to harden the sand and leave a coat of soot? I was told that this makes it easier to separate the mold. For example, Fiat and Ferrari always have a worker run a torch over the sand before the metal is poured. That's why their molds are black on top.
The sand mold broke too easily in this video....Although im not sure but i think they used alpha-set or furan resin. And mixed these resins with sand. This allows sand to be broken easily. Even with graphite powder (coat of soot), mould cannot be broken that easily....
It’s weird how it is both high tech and low tech at the same time
Very cool, can’t believe it’s still basically sand casting!!
absolutely amazing . Alchemy.
Can we please see the department that designs the special feature where only one brake light at a time works
I love how all the foundry experts gather here 😂
so true. also all car engineers from the mighty US and A believing a V8 architecture from the 1950s will save their arses.
@@BillyRillkratz Haha small block go brrrrrrt
Wow! Fantastic.....greetings from Brazil. 🇧🇷
My dad spent 30 years doing die cast setups for Johnson Outboard, I doubt the place was that clean when it was new.

6:08 Device that grabs the engine part waits for all the sides to separate. It could save time by positioning over the part ahead of time.
Very true
Just want to say *"amazing"!!!* Thanks for uploading. 👍👍👍
The thing is about foundry’s, they have not changed for hundreds of years, it always amazes me as an engineer when I go to visit them how archaic and dangerous they look but that is the nature of the beast, this foundry is amazingly sanitised compared to normal places.
great, somebody thats not criticising the supposed lack of cleanliness....today people are crazy and think everything needs to look like a hospital or a food industry plant..i also thought it was clean, quiet, and with pleasant lighting for a foundry...although i think the sound was massively edited.....also the workers seem confortable on their outfits and are not loaded with 100kg of protective gear that stops them from seeing well and moving freely. the brain is their safety equipment, i like that
that ended too soon.. it was really cool to watch that...
Robert Paul Guidry
cannot believe they do it like that, seems very handmade , rudimentary. I imagined something more automated, clean etc.
Its a foundry, not a 3d printing.
I'm guessing that the machining of the castings is a lot more automated and precise looking.
"all that glitters is gold, only shooting star break the mold", this song would be perfect for background music for this video 😁
I can’t believe how clean this factory is. I feel like American assembly plants look like something out of an apocalypse movie in comparison.
It's a bit like a cottage industry. You should see a Japanese production line. They're bangin out engine blocks in the same time these guys are fixing their mits.
And the Japanese engines are far, far more reliable. Thank you Dr Deming.
Definitely a prototype workshop.
Yeah the process was very slow for sure.
I don't know, but the vice was gripping the casting too perfectly for just a small batch. It looked custom built for that specific engine.
Incredibly clean and quiet
Ooooo sand casting! Didn't know a robot arm does that! Interesting!
This is ASMR for car guys)
Cool, when do we get to the part where they make a reliable engine?
I have a 1999 528i with 336k miles and runs perfectly with zero oil consumption. Its called an M52TU.. that's your reliable bmw motor..
You sound like an expert......... Not.
Good video , you make all scene being slow motion so we can learn something from this factory
Pretty sweet! I wish they showed a v12 casting.
even knowing my finger would melt i really want to touch melted aluminum
Play with Gallium - melts at skin temperature
thats what i thought about , for a while i though i want to touch that , then hello noo that will leave me with not finger at all , even the bone will melt xD
@@hamza-trabelsi If you do it quick enough, with a damp finger, you can actually touch it... you can even dip your entire hand in there...

ThePsiclone mine does, should’ve seen the price I paid tho 😰😰

Bmw indicators are made at the same facility as Volkswagen emissions control systems.
Any BMW owner can tell you: "We know they exist, and we know the car has them... But if we use them, then other people instantly cut you off and take your cleared spot indicated by your signals... Soooo, we stop using them" 💯🤷♂️
@@Karl_Kampfwagen "We're slow and take up too much space, so why bother indicating?"
You'd think with BMWs they'd just be casting the engines out of plastic these days.

What is wrong with that? It gets the job done, it insulates from heat, and it is light weight.
I own a car lmao. Unless you're talking to crazyhugs who I'm pretty sure is just trolling

I am sure they are working on it. They would use a plastic piston if they could get 80K out of it.
