My favorite part is when they just dump the tumbler out. No tray, or tarp, or anything else to catch all the poo poo. Just shove it out of the way to sort through off the floor.

Why do they pour milk on the steel?

One of two reasons, without knowing more I can't tell for certain.

Anyway, it's likely that first step is pickling, where the steel is bathed in, hydrochloric acid to dissolve any poo poo on the surface, mainly rust. This is why it comes out looking relatively clean.

The white stuff is probably some kind of alkali solution (likely sodium hydroxide in water, or maybe something like a bicarbonate solution) that they chuck over it to neutralise the acid to stop it wrecking their ""tooling"" and burning the operators any further.

However, it could also be a water/oil emulsion (suds) to lubricate the steel as it goes through the various production steps. This seems less likely though as they have a dry lubricant powder (likely some kind of graphite or dry molybdenum disulphide powder or maybe even talc? Or something?) they're using later when they're drawing the bar through a die plate to size the bar to a specific size.

If they're pickled it won't be anything good - High alloy steels don't tolerate acid baths very well since it causes hydrogen embrittlement. These also look like they are cold forged so I didn't see a de-embrittlement step, which makes me think it's some junk mild steel.

They have a hex head, but a conical face on the bottom. This makes me think they are either sealing bolts (for use with a copper washer, the conical face forming a seal with it) for blanking stuff off or lugnuts for a car or truck - the conical surface acts as a locking taper and stops them coming undone. I didn't get a good look at the markings but I think it's just branding which lends towards lug nuts in my opinion.
