From Scrap Steel to 45 Billion Drill Bits - How It's Made China. Manufacturing Processes Documentary

Step inside a nonstop industrial mega-compilation where raw scrap and molten metal become high-performance parts with extreme precision. Watch electric arc furnaces melt mixed scrap into clean steel, then continuous casting forms billets and slabs for downstream rolling. Next, heavy machines produce high-strength bolts, nuts, and Morse taper drills through forging, turning, grinding, heat treatment, and nitriding. Follow a full screw compressor rebuild with micron-level alignment, then see tapered roller bearings made under Industry 4.0 monitoring. We also visit a waste-to-energy facility, a high-speed pickling line and tandem cold mill, axle and wheelset production, aluminum die casting, giant press braking, and an EV motor stator automation line.
