Forging Materials: Microalloyed Forging Steels

C.J. Van Tyne John Walters
November 4, 2011
One Comment
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.

Optimizing H-13 for Forge Tooling

Steve Englet
January 8, 2010
One Comment
The microstructural analysis of tool steels yields important information on how forging dies will perform in service. It is particularly important to keep retained austenite in the tool below 4%. Through a series of controlled tests on tool-steel slugs, it was found that cryogenic or oil quenching can help minimize retained austenite in the tool steel and enhance tool-steel performance.

Controlled Cooling Improves Forging Quality, Throughput and Cost

B. Lynn Ferguson Jeffrey D. Franklin Andrew L. Banka
October 31, 2007
No Comments
The controlled cooling of a hot forging has several advantages over the antiquated practice of piling the forgings into a bin until the bin is full, then repeating the same uncontrolled filling of another bin until the forging run is completed. Repeatable cooling for each forging produces a consistent microstructure, hardness and residual-stress state in the parts as well as consistent dimensions at ambient temperature.
