QUAD 7™ carbide-tipped band-saw blades are suited for demanding production cutting operations such as those found in steel service centers and foundries.
Of all hardfacing applications, tool-and-die repairs are one of the most metallurgically challenging. What makes it so challenging is the metallurgy of the base materials and their compatibility with the hardfacing products, as well as the post-weld heat treatments required.
As an advanced manufacturing industry, forging can benefit from the development of advanced alloys used in its products and in the dies it uses to forge them.
In large-scale and mass production, the technology of cross-wedge rolling (CWR) of axisymmetric parts made of ductile metals and alloys is virtually unequaled in its economic efficiency.
Additive manufacturing techniques are no longer in their infancy. They are quickly emerging into serious options for the production of metallic parts. Forge shops should keep a watchful eye on this unfolding technology, both as a competitor and as an opportunity.
Titanium
is the main constituent in titanium alloys, of course, but they can contain a
significant amount of other elements, which are added for a variety of
metallurgical reasons. The strength of titanium alloys can often be comparable
to steel, but they have the advantage of having only about 60% of the weight.
