What is the sound of an alloy🤔?

Nerdy vacation visiting Luleå and the UNESCO protected town “Gammelstad” and the Church village. In the Church I was amazed by the organ pipes and I just needed to understand How they are made, which alloys and why.
Check out in the video below what I learned🤗

The mission of Everyday Metallurgy is to show where metallurgy plays a role in our Daily lifes and to encourage young students to follow a path within materials science and metallurgy.
Below is a small video showing an example from our Daily life. The grill was worn out, but as the lid is made of casted aluminium it deserves a second life. We call it recycling or urban mining, but you could also call it sustainable, as the level of recycled aluminium in Europe is above 60%. Compare this number with plastic or electronic products and you will be chocked.
Join our Channel on YouTube to learn a lot more about metals, how they are made and how they Can be recycled🙏

Please share if you support our mission🤗🙏

Making diamonds is extremely demanding as pressure and temperatures are above human understanding.

Therefore, we are extremely proud to share this episode on the podcast where we are invited into the machine room of a diamond manufacturing press.

This episode is for all with
- Metallurgical background
- Technology interest
- Likes to learn about extreme machines
- Tool makers and designers

We hope that you will share it in your network. Especially if you are Danish and would like to showoff to your international friends that we have some cool technology here.

Enjoy the show😄

The Marvel movies have the alloys Vibranium - known from Walanka and Black Panther - and Adamantium known from the skeleton of Wolverine.
But on Everyday Metallurgy we have Almazium - a self-healing aluminium alloy that in fact exists in the real world.

We’re excited to drop the latest episode of "Everyday Metallurgy"—and this one’s special: it’s our very first episode with a serious focus on editing. (Yes, we finally found the “cut” button. The outtakes? Maybe for another time…)��In this episode, I sit down with Jim Shipley from Quintus Technologies to dive deep into the world of Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP). We cover:
What HIP actually is (spoiler: it’s not a dance move).
The fascinating history and Swedish roots of HIP.
How HIP is revolutionizing everything from aerospace to your next hip replacement.
The science behind densification, powder metallurgy, and why 2,000°C is just another day at the office.
Real-world applications you probably use every day, without even knowing it.
The future of HIP, additive manufacturing, and why the next big thing might weigh 70 tons.
The usage of HIP to density parts and build plates.
But here’s the twist: we also reveal what happens when things don’t go as planned inside a HIP (hint: it’s not just a hot mess).��Curious how a process that started with synthetic diamonds is now shaping the future of rockets, cars, and even your kitchen? Tune in to find out—and don’t miss the cliffhanger at the end: What everyday object in your home has secretly been through a HIP?��Listen now and subscribe to the YouTube Channel if you like this way of learning 🎧��
