We wanted to find out which metal is the hardest for our 60,000 PSI waterjet to cut. We tried brass, aluminum, steel, titanium, and tungsten. This was an epic cutting test.

Are you or anyone you know going through a divorce? If so, i'm sorry to hear about it, but we'd love to help divide the assets.

Don’t steal our videos, if you’d like to use our video for something please contact us via email.
We also clearly see that waterjet can easily cut through permanent marker ink. Glad to learn that
I guess it's not so permanent
@@TheMalignantMind 😂😂
I will try this next time I need to wash it off my hands thank you
@@GrowingDownUnder let me be the first one to high five you if you have any success
@@erhanhuz1548 I see what you did there lol
Get in touch with Adam Savage. He was having a hard time cutting an aluminum foil ball in half. He was giddy about seeing a cross section of it.
Coming soon 👀👀
@@7-ten - I've found your manners.... in the bin. Do you want them back!?
@@hotaru25189 yes, but he got bored and made a new one out of a nearly full roll of industrial foil
Pretty sure they did this years ago... right?
@@WaterjetChannel I have a sample of PCD and one of CBN,would you try to cut it if I set it to you?
0:28 That close-up of Mitchell's face with the helicopter audio clip like he's having a 'nam flashback 🤣
I love the Project Farm style spark tests. The commentary was spot on there.
i mean is not stupid, it doesnt measures anything relevant, but i'm sure it's at least collecting data
The height of the nozzle tip to the material or the stand-off makes a difference in the quality of the cut as well!!
I love how the water jet sparks with titanium. Awesome.
This is the video I didn't know I needed. Thank you.
It's not tungsten it's cemented tungsten carbide. So it's more like reinforced cobalt.
Yeah it's only 90% TUNGSTEN, pretty much cobalt
Big difference between tungsten carbide and pure tungsten. This certainly was not pure tungsten.
Sparkling test, with proper testing voice, was awesome!
I basically watch this channel for Mitchell's personality lol
What's with the Nate cardboard cutout in the background? 😆
I hope it means they are going to collab on something, I had suggested a unique knife pattern on Nates channel.
They operate in close proximity to eachother. They may have worked together in the past
Cardboard cutout? No I just like to hang out and hold really still.
@@NFTI do it! just for 2 or 3 quick panning shots with zero emphasis, it's a really inside joke but it would still be funny
@@NFTI Skillz!
5:55 that scream 🤣🤣
"NeXt Is MiLd SteEl... ThOsE ArE SpArKs." Hot dang, I'm glad you had an expert there, I wouldn't have known that xD
Love your videos! Would you guys ever think about opening the PO Box again?!
My whole life I had no idea titanium wasn't as hard as treated steel. I guess it's just used over it in military/avionic applications for the sake of better weight to hardness ratio?
High strength, low weight. Very good properties for aviation or implants.
You've heard of its use in the construction of airplanes because of its high melting point. When travelling at supersonic speeds the nose of the plane will reach temperatures that would melt steel. The light weight is a bonus. They actually had to sneak the titanium for the blackbird out of the soviet union covertly as Ukraine has most of the worlds supply, I believe.
you guys make my day to this day
Hi. What improvements can i make to my waterjet bed so that the small perts dont fall through
Do big blocks of these metals next time.
Always liked the brilliance of titanium sparks
i love the full sized cutout of Nate from the internet in the background. bring him on for some content with you guys.
👀
Bro u are so recognizable, I have not seen u in years then this video popped up and I was wondering why u look so familiar lol
I dont understand much of the metal or cutting things but i stick around to watch most of the videos just to take in the surreal close ups and weird filming techniques. Reminds me of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Good Job.
@Waterjet Channel The hardness scale your mentioning, is not by chance "Mohs" hardness you are referring to?
Have you checked to see how fast you can get a ceramic bearing to spin?
Subbed. Cool content.
everyone involved in this went to the moon before recording
i love the energy of you two got that wholesomeness and questionable taste test
This is what I imagine happens in a machine shop when the boss has a doctors appointment for the afternoon.
I haven't seen yous in a while but the thumbnail caught my eye
Are you sure that rod is pure tungsten? Looks like it was some kind of turning tool. Those are usually made out of tungstencarbide and cobalt or something like that.
Was that an Emo Phillips impression for the spark test?
I dont know why, but that stare from mitchell with the helicopter noise made me laugh
Very nice.
The circles of metal aren't the same thickness. The titanium was considerably thinner than the others. Wouldn't that effect the cut?
no he was just testing each of the metals to see how far down they would cut so if you look at the depth of the cut it'll tell you how strong the metal is to The cutting test okay okay by the way that pea sized thing up rolling around in your head is your brain, USE IT! 💯
@@nunyafockler5650 Right.......there's a lot to digest here. Firstly, you're insinuating that I'm stupid at the end of a BARELY comprehensible sentence. You're grammar is shit and your punctuation is worse. You also missed the fact that I ASKED a question. I didn't make a statement that needed to be corrected. I was wondering if the difference in thicknesses between the bits of metal could throw off the accuracy. This is where my "pea brain" kicks in. Is it possible that when the material you are cutting is thicker, the material being cut has a stronger "bracing" effect. For example: would a bullet travel deeper through a tree that was 1 foot in diameter than it would a tree that was 3 feet in diameter? There is more material in front of the bullet (the cutting tool) that is working against its progress through the tree. Could a thicker piece of the same metal yield a different cutting result due to there being more material working against the water jet? If yes, than the test results would not be accurate. As not all of the pieces of metal were the same thickness. I think it's a relevant question. What do you think keyboard warrior?
Love the videos guys!!!! Keep em coming!!!! Maybe multiple videos a week!!?? 4K would be awesome as well!!! Cheers!!!
good timing
1:22 This is gonna become a meme one day. I swear it will.
the spark test makes me wonder how different magnesium and titanium sparks are, I know titanium is a super bright white but I believe magnesium is used in flash bangs and fireworks so I'm unsure.
Almost the same, they are white and bright too, maybe a little brughter
It’s 2am but I need to know this
As the hydraulic press channel would say: "toongstone"
Wow. Tungsten told your waterjet to go take a hike.
And that's why titanium is used to color fireworks, those clean white sparks.
I have a pretty nice size chunk of quartz I think and I've wanted to get it cut into a cube
Love the videos keep up the great work
I cracked up on the spark test
Last channel where I would expect to hear about multiple sclerosis
Its crazy to think that water can cut thru metal.
Wow that skate board wheel!
I sent this basicly an abrasion test noting to do with shear resistance type cut.
If Bobcat Goldthwait owned a waterjet
The helicopter flashbacks edit sent me 😂
This is science done right.
We wanna test how hard these things are Because we do
"Or just set it to a slower speed" "Oh" xD
I waer a blackened tungsten ring, and did some maintenance on some equipment today, i noticed a scratch on it after. but it rubbed off, so the ring was not scratched, something else scratched off on my ring. thats why i can wear it without worry of damaging it :-)
What was the debit in Liter per second?
Is that a Nate (from TKOR) lifesize poster in the background?
That spark test was like a scene straight out of rick n morty
As a man who has MS, that multiple sclerosis thing, I laughed out loud and woke my wife. It was very humorous, if you meant it or not. Made my day. MS also mild steel.... re watch it.... LOL. Thanks, now I have to go sleep on the couch in the living room.
Why no spark-tasting?
Powerful
That scale of hardness made me snicker
1:26 Him: how hard are we Me: 🤣🤣🤣
Is that a turbo powering the waterjet?
SO COOL
I want that Tungsten rod. For ... reasons...
"all we do is cut circles here" roasted lmao
Try Depleted Uranium and Polonium-210
We are witnessing their slow descent into Insanity one episode at a time
Siiiiiiick! Love the new stuff guys! 👌
DO you use abrasive or water without abrasive?
You all are wild. I do not know why, but I cannot turn it off.
Hello, Moh's scale? Hi I'm looking for Al, Uminium.
“ Polycrystalline diamonds… “ .woah.” 😂
I wanna work with these guys.
when the camera pans to the guy in the red he always looks like he's staring right into the abyss
When these guys were talking about their hardness. Like how hard are you. Half hard. LOL
Do Lead, I know it will cut it But i'm wondering if it will deform it same with gold
00:41 haha Nate in the back
Can you do Tantalum?
craziest thing I have cut on a flow waterjet is silicone carbide armor tiles. 3/16" thick, cutting speed of 20 minutes per inch.
Why does the the titanium spark?
Wow that titanium sure sparks alots
I called Molybdenum Molly-beee-denim way before you guys were born, so I win? Great video!
Hmm, do I win or am I just old? LOL
Titanium is quite reactive. Thats why most of it is in the white paint - titanium oxide - titanium white. Thats why it flashes so much
So is there a singular sclerosis?
I love Moly B. Denim
I hardness tested tungsten and got 5.5 on mohs (same as cobalt and molybdenum and hafnium same hardness as obsidian)
Nice Tommy boy reference btw
6:08 You guys accidently made Termite there. May be.
So what causes sparks for certain metals when they are put to a grinding belt?
Background: Most metals oxidize with the oxygen in air. Think iron rusting, copper turning green, bronze turning dark, etc. The rate of oxidation is determined by the temperature and surface area exposed to air, with higher temp and more surface increasing the rate. Also, oxidation reactions themselves produce heat. When a particle is super small, it has a very large ratio between it's surface area and volume. Even though the surface area is pretty low in absolute terms, the volume and thus amount of metal is even lower, so the oxidation rapidly heats it up. Heating up only increases the rate of oxidation more, and you get a runaway reaction that results in the metal particles getting white-hot and glowing like anything hot does, and ends once the metal is entirely oxidized and begins to cool down. The metals that do not spark are the ones that oxidize slowly enough, or produce little enough heat while oxidizing, that they lose heat faster to the air than the oxidation adds heat, and thus don't get a runaway reaction. Basically, iron and titanium are both very reactive with oxygen, while brass and the others are not. Edit: Aluminum is actually even more reactive, but it's oxide is very good at preventing the unreacted aluminum under the surface from reacting, so it doesn't really spark either. Aluminum is thought of as quite corrosion resistant, but it actually gets it's corrosion resistance from the super thin layer of aluminum oxide (aka corundum or sapphire) that forms nearly instantly on any surface exposed to air.
@@markjacobson4248 Thank you very much!!! This was very easy to understand and I appreciate the amount of detail you put into your comment.
Get on with it !!!!!
The people who think the aluminum planes couldn’t cut through steal beams of the twins towers should watch this
Tungsten is pretty hard, but chromium and boron are much harder, being the third and second hardest elements, respectively, after carbon in the form of diamonds. Tungsten is also not the densest material. That honor goes to osmium. Tungsten’s standout trait is that it has the highest melting point of any metal. However, it should be noted that carbon, while not a metal, does have a higher melting point.
The Egyptians must’ve used this but found out a way to do it at an epic proportion, with some powerful energy source? They could’ve been a lot more tech advanced than we think
Bobcat Goldthwait???
holy windowlicking Batman!!!
Not sure if you've done it already but ur carbide tip are very brittle and they shatter when you drop em, put one in a hardening oven and see what happens!!
Now you guys are gonna have to get a chunk of molly be denim to cut spirals in
Dem sparks. 5:30 F***ing hell titanium. 5:54
