The rolling and thermal treatment of forged rings sometimes leaves residual stresses that cause dimensional distortion. Corrective measures in industry are often based on trial-and-error techniques. Ongoing research seeks to base corrective actions on the laws of physics.

The North American steel industry recognizes the value of environmental, social and economic advances and is committed to providing sustainable developments in manufacturing products that meet society’s needs. One example of such achievements is the development of forged-steel automotive parts that have proven to do all of these things.

Normalizing is a thermal process often associated with forgings. Why do we normalize? The following article answers just that question.

Damaged forging machinery or dies don’t always require an investment in new equipment. Weld Mold offers the option of flood welding to repair and refurbish dies, rams and other parts necessary to the forging industry.
