Forging Materials: Microalloyed Forging Steels Like all steels,
microalloyed steels are iron-based metal alloys. Normally, they are plain
carbon or low-alloy steel with small additions of one of
three special elements. These steels were developed in the 1960s and used for
plate and pipeline applications. It was not until the 1980s, however, that
forgers began to produce microalloyed steel components in significant
quantities.

Desolation Row Do you remember a time
when a member of Congress was someone you could actually look up to? Do you
remember when the art of compromise by politicians was recognized as a
leadership quality? Do you remember when elected officials actually put the
good of the country and its people before the good of their party? If you
answered “yes” to any of these questions, you are probably a Baby Boomer headed
toward retirement.
