Custom Steel Forging Benefits• Custom steel forged parts from Queen City Forging offer a high degree of reliability and tolerance capabilities.• Custom steel forgings offer uniformity of composition and structure. With many forgings made from one "heat" of steel, steel forgings have minimum variation in machinability and mechanical properties. • Custom forged steel parts are stronger and more reliable than machined or cast parts due to the fact that the grain flow of the steel is altered, conforming to the part's shape. Grain flow strengthening in steel forgings is analogous to the cross grain strength of wood. • Queen City Forging's custom steel forgings are produced economically in a many sizes and quantities. The core of Queen City Forging's business is custom steel forging -- impression die hammer forgings up to 8 pounds, upset and open end die forgings up to 15 pounds and industrial blacksmithing of tools and special shapes up to 50 pounds. • Custom steel forged parts make possible designs that accommodate high loads and stresses. Forgings are free from internal gas pockets, voids, or cooling defects that can cause unexpected fatigue or impact load failure. Custom Steel forgings are used when quality cannot be questioned. • Steel forging is the application of thermal and mechanical energy to steel bars, billets, and ingots to cause the material to change shape while in the solid state. This is a different process than casting, where metal is melted and poured into a mold in the liquid or molten state. Custom Steel Forging Process• Steel, especially when heated to forging temperature, is ductile and malleable; able to be shaped by applying pressure. Forging with proper processing methods allows a billet of steel to be shaped permanently without cracking, due to its plasticity. • Custom steel forging requires a forge furnace or oven to heat the steel to sufficient temperature such that work hardening or strain hardening will not result from the deformation process. Metallurgical recrystallization and grain refinement result from the thermal cycle and the deformation process. This strengthens the resulting steel product, particularly in terms of impact toughness. |
