Custom Steel Forgings

CUSTOM STEEL FORGINGS

 

Steel forgings are used in a large number of different industries where forged iron can’t deliver a comparable level of high strength and extended wear. These are generally industries that make use of components that need to be able to withstand heavy daily use, such as military, marine, naval, chemical, shipping, petrochemical, food processing, power generation, construction, automotive, and general engineering.

 

STEEL FORGING PROCESS

Steel is forged by applying high levels of mechanical and thermal energy directly to steel bars and ingots. The process begins by heating the metal in a furnace or oven at high temperatures in order to make it ductile and malleable. This process produces gradual changes in the shape of the billets.

Next, the manufacturer applies intense pressure to reform the steel permanently without permitting cracks to appear. This transformation produces a subtle modification in the conformation of the metal crystals, causing grain refinements. As a result, forged steel is strengthened and displays an enhanced ability to withstand impacts. The increase of strength occurs on three levels, namely on the level of tensile strength, compressive strength, and sheer strength. All of these qualities contribute to the ability of forged steel components to withstand heavy wear and tear:

Tensile strength: The ability to pull apart without rupturing under tension.

Compressive strength: The ability to compress together without breaking.

Shear strength: The ability to turn or deviate without breaking when a shearing force causes a rupture in some part of the material. This feature contributes to greater resilience.

Steel forging offers significant mechanical advantages, but because the nature of the forging process doesn’t allow the production of fine surface details, steel forgings usually have a simpler profile. They might also require secondary operations such as machining and the application of spray coatings to protect the surface of the metal from corrosion.

 

BENEFITS OF USING FORGED STEEL PARTS

Forged steel components offer four key benefits: high strength, precision engineering, improved failure resistance, and uniformity.

High strength

Because of the subtle changes in the grain structure of steel, forged steel components display greater strength, tolerances, and reliability than cast or machined steel parts. Alteration of grain structure occurs as a result of the application of intense pressure and heat during the forging process. This helps to refine and densify steel so that metal displays better tensile strength, and also an enhanced resistance to impacts and scrapes.

Precision engineering

Steel forged parts adhere to very close tolerances. For this reason, they often comprise parts of mechanical assemblies.

Improved failure resistance

The process of creating forged steel helps strengthen the metal, causing forged steel components to display an enhanced ability to withstand sudden metal fatigue and weight-bearing load failures. The heating process during production helps remove internal gas pockets, bubbles and other cooling defects, enabling forged steel components to perform well in high stress or heavy load capacity situations.

Uniformity

A single batch of heated steel often permits the production of a large run of components, which is why forged steel parts often display a high level of uniformity with very limited variations in mechanical properties.
