About Hot Forging Forging is the metal working manufacturing process in which the useful shape of metal component is obtained in solid state by compressive forces through the use of dies and tools. Traditionally, forging was performed by a smith using hammer and anvil. Using hammer and anvil is a crude form of forging. The smithy […]
A 105 is an ASTM steel forging specification mainly used for carbon steel forged piping components. This type of carbon steel forging alloy involved is a low carbon, manganese and silicon containing steel similar to AISI 1330, but with lower manganese content. Chemical Composition of ASTM A105 Carbon: ≤0.35 Manganese: 0.60-1.05 Phosphorus: ≤0.35 Sulfur: ≤0.40 […]
AISI 1045, medium carbon steel, has a tensile strength of 570 – 700 MPa and Brinell hardness ranging between 170 and 210. AISI 1045 carbon steel can give the advantages of good weldability, good machinability, and high strength and impact properties in either the normalized or hot forged condition. Chemical Composition: Carbon: 0.43-0.50 Manganese: 0.60-0.90 Phosphorous: ≤0.040 […]
Carbon steel, with 0.12 to 2% carbon, is the material widely used in steel forging. This steel category gains hardness and strength with heat treatment when the percentage of carbon content increases but the ductility is reduced. AISI 1020 steel is a commonly used low carbon steel. It has a good combination of strength and […]
According to the forging temperature, forging can be classified into hot forging, cold forging and warm forging. Most metal components intended to be forged are performed under hot forging. Hot forging is the most widely used forging process. In hot forging process, forging is carried out at a temperature above the recrystallization temperature of the […]
The rigging hardwares are the metal stress tools for the moving of objects between lifting machinery equipmements and lifting objects, as well as the force to stabilize the space structure. Widely used in Ports, Power, Building, Metallurgy, Chemical Industry, Engineering Machinery, Bulk Transportation, Pipe Linings, and some other important industries. Its main components include: Wire rope clip, […]
Steel forging defects are not widely discussed because of a natural reluctance by forging company to draw attention to them. There are many imperfections that can be considered as being defects, ranging from those traceable to the starting materials to those caused by closed die forging process or by post forging operations. Defects can be […]
A skip (UK English), which is a large open-topped waste container, is designed for loading onto a special type of lorry (truck). Instead of being emptied into a garbage truck on site, as a wheelie bin is, a skip is removed, or replaced by an empty skip, and then tipped at a landfill site or […]
Clevis slip hooks are versatile because of their full, wide throat. Easily hooked up to shackles, eyes or chain tied loads. Often used in towing, pulling and securing applications. Slip and grab hooks with clevis end connections permit rapid attachment and removal from chain by using cotter pins that are easily removed from the hook. […]
Steel forging make it different from other production methods like casting. The properties of steel forging are quite unique when compared to steel casting. Let’s check some main properties of steel forging: The key point of steel forging is that the metal becomes stronger than equivalent cast or machined ones. Due to due to its strength, […]
