If you’re at all like me, you wonder which articles get the most attention on our website. Every year we publish around 25 feature articles, and at the end of the year we gather statistics to see which ones get the most page views. So, without further ado, here are the five most-viewed articles on www.forgemag.com based on page views. This ranking applies only to articles published in 2020.
Traditional ways of work simply aren't sustainable and effective because the still-ongoing technological revolution is reshaping all products and services that have been made before, creating new products/services, concepts and work titles.
Ring-rolling simulations have matured into a necessary tool for the efficient production of defect-free rings. Most defects encountered in production can now reliably be detected in a simulation, and solutions for the defects can be quickly implemented and verified. The optimized ring-rolling technology-chain simulation virtually ensures a defect-free product, and the information from the successful simulation can be used to set the operating parameters of your rolling mill.
Anyone that has designed processes to manufacture seamless rolled rings knows how challenging it is to produce them defect-free and with the required properties.
Demanding environments in forges require engineered floor systems to accommodate heavy handling equipment in high-traffic areas and impact loading. They also must have thermal resistance to high-temperature workpieces. Various flooring options are available in today’s market, and the selection of appropriate flooring materials is critical to long-term facility goals.
The selection of an appropriate flooring system contributes to increased productivity and profitability by decreasing outages related to floor repairs and replacement, reducing expensive equipment repairs related to inconsistencies in the flooring and decreasing the risk of operator safety concerns and fatigue.
For the third consecutive time, Cleveland played host to the biennial Forge Fair, which was held on the shores of Lake Erie May 21-23, 2019. Nearly 2,000 attendees and 169 exhibitors made Forge Fair 2019 the largest ever.
This fourth article about Germany’s Lightweight Forging Initiative (now with international industry support) focuses on potential weight savings through innovative material selection and forging part and process design. This continuation of the article from June examines additional specific lightweighting opportunities on a hybrid car and a heavy-duty truck.
A review of some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the commercial testing of forgings can help you learn about the types of destructive and nondestructive tests and which ones are necessary for your products. Some tips are offered on what to look for in selecting a testing service provider.
We have noticed an uptick in the number of blacksmithing stories over the past few years. Here’s an opportunity to find out what the buzz is all about.
This third article in a series about Germany’s Lightweight Forging Initiative (begun April 2016) focuses on potential weight savings through innovative material selection and forging part and process design. In this segment, potential weight savings on a hybrid vehicle and heavy-duty truck are considered.
