The Discovery team followed along as the Triple-E construction team welded together the giant 'megablocks' that made the hull of the first Triple-E.

that abrupt ending on such an interesting topic.
Typical Discovery Channel, just as it gets good and dangerously educational it ends or goes to commercial ...The Discovery Channel used to be one of my favorites, later it became one of the reasons I dropped cable altogether.
I came here because I was wondering how they welded thick steels, and wanted to know how many passes it took.
I am not sure about the part where they mention rivets being unreliable. They were used to build iron and steel ships for over 100 years, and I never really read about there being a reliability issue with rivets due to "popping". In addition to that, there are many thousands of structures, bridges,etc, around the world which are held together by rivets, not to mention, airplanes.
I think a proper welded joint is stronger than a riveted one, but I think the main reasons they started using welded steel for hulls is because it saved time, weight, and produced a bit less drag in the water.
they just said 1 pass both sides
I'm with you on the rivets. Welding is easier and no doubt faster , not having to drill all those holes, that's all.
Rivets are fine...the Forth Bridge is rivetted and is still standing 100 years later, and the great ocean liners were rivetted. Welds can crack, but rivets will give a little. The stresses with 'hogging and sagging' must be phenomenal in these massive ships
I guess that for these new huge cargo ships the welding is much more resistant.
Welding is the strongest way to join 2 similar metals, the whole premise behind welding is to greate a joint that's as strong or stronger than the base metals. Rivets create weak points whereas welding does not
Amazing
"Erection Joint" Beavis and Butthead would have a field day with that
Kaos there's also butt and open butt welds haha me and my classmates loved working on those!
Thats ah good welding
amazing older videos of ordinary Men and Women on the Ships of Maersk today are all founded by the Society of Maersk As a jewel in the Museums For Us In Their Difficult but Very Beautiful Profession
You all please do more videos for ship welding
It takes 5,000 welds to make a ship all of them have to be prefect. If there is a crack the ship will flood and that compartment will sink so it is important they get all of them right the first time they fire up their torches.
now you can just use flex tape
Not an accurate description of automated welding
*Thanks for using METRIC measurement. No fucking IMPERIAL (US) Inches, Miles, Feet, Bushels, Stones, Pounds LBS (Lots of Bull Shit) or the obsolete the Helmut von Fahrenheit. Bangkok-Johnnie, again*
Not smart enough to know your 12 times table??? America was a vast untamed wilderness. Did not need the foreign jibberish to get to where we are. The europeans adapted to Imperial when they got here. If you like metriq so much move to europe.
