It's a knockout
Engineers find a new way to punch holes through steel
Electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) are usually associated with
warfare. The idea is to use a blast of energy to fry the enemy’s
computers and telecommunications gear. One common way proposed to do this is with an atomic bomb. In a less extreme fashion, however, EMPs have peaceful uses. They are already employed industrially to shape soft and light metals, such as aluminium and copper. Now a group of researchers has found a
way to use an EMP device to shape and punch holes through industry’s metallic

heavyweight - steel. This could transform manufacturing by doing away with the need to use large, heavy presses to make goods ranging from cars to washing machines. Verena Kräusel and her colleagues performed their trick by beefing up an existing electromagnetic-forming machine. Such machines use a bank of capacitors to discharge a current rapidly through a coil. The coil converts the current into a powerful magnetic field. When the component to be worked is placed next to such a machine, the coil induces in it a corresponding field. Like poles repel, and the repulsion between the two fields is strong enough to make the metal distort. Dr Kräusel and her colleagues boosted the power of their machine by strengthening its coil and speeding up the rate at which the capacitors dump their charge. The result is an extremely strong field - one that delivers enough pressure when it hits the steel to punch out the material next to it, leaving a hole behind. The impact pressure on the steel is about 3,500 atmospheres. That is the weight of three small cars pressing on an area only a centimetre or so square. The result is that the machine is able to punch holes 30 mm in diameter through the type of sheet steel used to build car bodies, which is usually around 1mm thick. The group have also used their machine to punch holes in hardened steel, including stainless steel. And, besides punching holes in steel, such a machine could also be used to form shapes out of the metal without the need to use a mould or a die. The Economist
4. Read the article carefully and choose the best answer for each question.
a. If you describe someone or something as a knockout, you think that they
are: a. extremely attractive or impressive; c. rude and aggressive;
b. strong and powerful; d. weak and dependent.
b. The word warfare is closest in meaning to: a. competition; b. natural
disaster; c. peace; d. military action.
c. What is true about EMPs?
Researchers have failed to work out any ways of using them in industry.
6
They have nothing to do with violent struggle. They have found a new application in industry. Their uses for peaceful purposes are limited.
d. If you do away with something, you:
go away from something. put an end to it. find a new way of using it. use a remote control to do something.
e. If you beef up something, you:
increase, strengthen, or improve it. cook a meal using beef. fight with it. abandon an attempt to get something.
f. Like poles are: a. similar; b. different; c. good; d. the ones you like. g. The group increased the power of their machine by:
changing its design completely. making its coils stronger. eliminating the capacitor. increasing the number of its coils.
h. What is not true about the pilot electromagnetic-forming machine?
It is able to make holes through stainless steel. It is impossible to use it for making holes in hardened steels. There is no need in using any supplementary equipment while shaping steel. Automakers will benefit from using this machine.

Blacksmithing forges ahead
Blacksmithing conjures up images of hot, heavy work carried out by burly bearded Britons ages ago; not much to do with today’s world you might say. But take a closer look around
you, and you’ll be amazed at the amount of ironwork you can
see – the hinges holding open the door, the hook hanging up your coat, the ornate railings you pass by every day. You may not know it, but blacksmiths created the very nails that hold the modern world together. In its purest form, the craft consists of shaping metal using heat, a hammer and
anvil. “You’re basically mucking around with its atomic structure,” says Aaron
Petersen, a blacksmith, sculptor and university lecturer. On a hot Saturday in an even hotter forge in west Wales, he is teaching me the right way to pound the hell out of a piece of steel. “When the metal is heated, the molecules loosen so it’s easier to bend; a bit like cooking,” says Petersen. But this is no ordinary kitchen: the Petersen family forge is like something from another age, with its intense fire, hundreds of hammers
and tongs adorning the walls and weighty anvils which look as though they haven’t
moved an inch in centuries. An iron bottom clasped by an iron hand completes the scene. This morning we are cooking up mild steel to fashion into a decorative
candlestick, which will hopefully take pride of place on the family mantelpiece. “The
temperature should be from 1,000C-1,300C and a good welding heat is a yellow
one,” says Petersen, which means steel-capped boots and goggles are a must for this line of work. And then the clanging begins: we begin by “drawing down” the steel
9
rods, pounding it with a hammer to “upset” or reduce the thickness of the metal, and “drawing it to a point”. “It’s an antidote to our computer-bound lives,” says Petersen. It’s incredibly hot and dirty work too. “The great thing is that it’s an immediate process,” he says. “The metal shapes quickly in smithing, as opposed to something like pottery which involves several stages of firing and drying before you see the result.”
Students on his weekend course, which is geared towards mastering basic smithing skills, have ranged from artists to stressed-out executives. “A lot of wives send their husbands. Some are spurred to take it up professionally – not everyone is
cut out to be a hedge fund manager,” says Petersen. Everyone comes away with their
own finished pieces, be they bespoke tools, nails, decorative artwork or doorknockers. Others renovating their homes come to work on specific items.
