reminds me of bucket's observation in Murphy that the rocking chair is the only thing that gets faster and faster and faster and then stops. tho more terrifying. something essential about it made me think 'oh god, life'.

Brutal. Why didn't they just cast it to that shape in the first place though?

yeah, like the anchor chain upthread it's a striking combination of sublime machinery and a surprising dependence on manual labour

Two thoughts. China spent decades as a low-capitalized nation with massive amounts of manpower and a full employment policy, and there are probably still many remnants of that economy left in the hinterlands. It is also possible that the tensile strength of the metal (steel?) may be much higher when it is beaten into shape rather than cast. But I am not a metallurgist.

ime forgings normally have less surface porosity, finer grain structure, higher tensile strength, better fatigue life/strength, and greater ductility than castings
