Fatman, welcome to forum brother.... look forward to your posts here. You are fondly remembered by many, including me.

Can one of the members here tell us if the auto-translate option on the video are decent? If not, if one of the members here could translate to English the main salient points covered in the video, I would be much obliged.

In case folks assume HIP is same as mechanical conventional forges (hot or cold), they are actually pretty different. They utilize pressured gas (normally non-reactive Argon), normally in range of 50 - 200 MPa though I have seen some come to 300 MPa as well, all with a heating element as you...

Welcome to the forum, I think I remember working with you with the wargaming stuff at PDF. Lot of Indians coming over to this forum now, good to see. There is stability here, each country participating gets dedicated moderators, we try to be as consistent as possible. This has led to...

This thread is used for all the politics discussion/debate. We used to have separate one, but it always bled into this one anyway....so we just merged it.

Threads merged.

Daytime picture, I guess it is on visit to Japan:

The QC is in the end related to the pressure (in psi) the forge is able to develop. So for components in say propulsion, 15,000 ton would cover everything you need here. Outsized monolith parts in the airframe like bulkhead yeah if you want to get the advantage of forging (over say 3d print or...

Welcome to the forum! Given international nature of the forum, it is English-only for all threads (except specific home threads like Coffee house in Indian one). So the videos and content you post has to be in English or have English subtitles as far as possible (you can provide them too as...

MF-STAR on INS Vikrant installed recently. INS Anvesh (BMD + Missile instrumentation ship) can be seen in the background. There also seems to be fitting out of the Barak 8 VLS cells on the carrier too.

Its a pledge, a "MOU". Means little, there is no supra-authority above nationstate govts to enforce these things. These 3 also want to balance relations with Russia (including with ongoing and future nuclear energy technology) and are wary about any signalling and the joint working groups...

Its a complicated emerging field since about the 1970s (DS oxide composites). You could technically use non-eutectic oxides and make DS. One would save cost and QC needs in the early production stage but severely increase them in the later stage (along with performance loss, I am unsure of the...

They don't think in such useful ways. That's the whole root problem in a great many messes in India. There isn't actual rational effective thinking when someone has come into some role of power and responsibility, the squandering we see in more visible apex continue in the less visible layers...

They are an anti-intellectual regime and doubling down on it. Story of Abdus Salam is just one example though a notable one. It has metastasized to all kind of things now, while their peon keyboardwarrior equivalents spend millions of man hours typing up a storm attacking India in whichever...

That's like saying India should abandon the path of becoming more like South Korea and Japan (and the US/West), just because North Korea GDP PPP "is getting better" in some very nominal way past the sanctions and their own regime foolhardiness. More economic sanction pain commensurately grows...

Yeah its essentially ATAGS v2.0 (a lighter ATAGS variant, <15 tons) or barring that the Israeli ATHOS (or variant) likely will be licence produced under some JV since it already is less than 15 tons. IA is firm about this weight requirement. Have to wait for details of this TGS program to shake...
