Forging aligns internal metallic grains to boost strength
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Repeatedly whacking glowing hot metal with an impossibly heavy hammer aligns its internal crystalline structure into pure brute strength. Unlike pouring liquid metal into a mold which creates weak random crystals, physically crushing the metal forces the grain flow to perfectly match the final shape, vastly improving durability.
One discovery leads to another.
