Cerox fired refractory shapes offer resistance to chemical attack from acids, slags and gases to produce a clean, contaminant-free metal for end users in aerospace and automotive steel foundries.
AirForge 4027 is a newly developed protective lubricant for the hot forging of steel and alloys. It delivers outstanding results when metal protection against oxidation, gas diffusion and heat is required.
Forging is not only an enduring industry, but it is also an advanced industry. Despite Western society’s disdain for old and improperly labeled “archaic” metalworking industries (such as foundry or forging), the U.S. forging industry is anything but archaic.
I’ve had some really good days in nearly 25 years as a forging tool and die welder. The die is hot enough, the radio is playing loudly, and the boss is on vacation.
In the first two parts of this series, we examined the basic definition of grain flow and described the anisotropic properties in metals because of it.
Graphite die lubricants had dominated forging applications for centuries. Changing industry needs and the drive toward safer, cleaner shops drove the development of synthetic lubricants.
In this series, we will examine the concepts and features of forging grain flow. This article will cover the basics of grain flow that occur during metalworking processes.
This article introduces a practical technique that enables the reduction of burning loss or mill scale and increases yield in most kinds of steels. The technique is most successfully adopted in open-die hot forging and hot rolling of stainless and other expensive alloy steels.
