Many of our clients try to find out whether they should forge or cast parts. There are unique differences to each method. Each process also has advantages and disadvantages over the other. The Difference Between Casting and Forging Casting a product is when the material is heated and then poured into a mold. A forged product is created from solid …
When you are looking for a forging manufacturer, you want to be sure you choose someone who provides industry standard reliability. Forging takes metal, heats it, and shapes it into the parts needed to meet a project’s requirements. Forging is a premier way to produce products over casting because of its strength and durability. Depending on the product, there are …
In a recent Gear Solutions article, Scott Forge listed the advantages of using the forged metal working process to produce essential metal parts for maximum quality, cost effectiveness, and specialized performance. To produce forged steel rings, rolling mills are used to accomplish a process known as ring rolling. The mills are of various sizes and are capable of constructing rings …
Applications involving high pressure and the need for a hub that is long and tapered are what weld neck flanges are most often used for. Specifying the schedule of pipe that it will be utilized for is of utmost importance when ordering. This type of flange is excellent for use in environments involving extreme temperature fluctuations and excessive handling and …
The tolerance standards from the ASME recognize the problematic variances of seamless rolled rings in any process. These tolerances allow for slight differentiation in the products made by a forged rings manufacturer. In the seamless rolled ring forging process, there is a higher rate of precision that consistently puts finished products well within the accepted tolerance standards. How Rolled Ring …
In long weld neck nozzle forging, better materials create a longer lasting stronger ready-to-install product that will be more effective, more resilient and more cost effective. The tendency for the long weld neck flanges to be a lighter structure calls for metals that will endure and have continue strength. Alloys are especially helpful in the long weld neck nozzle forging …
Pipe flanges mechanically connect equipment, pipe sections, and inline components to each other. During the dismantling process, flanges carry out the dismantling and joining of pipes without welding or cutting, thus reducing the chances of problems. However, flanges that do not meet specific guidelines pose a danger of opening up a breakable joint that may result in a pathway in …
A process called ring rolling forms seamless forged rings. The ring rolling method is carried out on machines referred to as rolling mills. These mills will generate rings that have an outer diameter varying from just a couple of inches up to 300 inches. The weight of these rings will also vary from approximately 1-lb all the way up to …
