The Workhorse Of The Stainless Family by Royce Lowe The stainless 300 series might be described as the workhorses of the greater family of stainless steels. As a group, they show better corrosion resistance, toughness, high-temperature strength, and low-temperature properties. They are based on what was called the 18/8 steel, or type 302,

Carbon: The Alloy Effect

The Importance of Carbon In Steel by Royce Low Carbon is very important in the context of hardness and strength. But in the broader context of steel metallurgy, hardenability is, overall, just as important, if not more so. This property may be defined, simply, as the ability of a steel to harden to

Grain Flow – Its Role In The Forging Process

Go With The Flow by Royce Lowe In processes such as open die forging and the production of seamless rolled rings, grain flow is important in that it beneficially affects the mechanical properties and the accompanying service life of the finished forged parts.  Grain flow may be defined as the creation of a

Quality – Everbody’s Business

Aim High In the final analysis, quality boils down to “what will do the job.” This applies to any size or shape or surface finish or hardness, etc. Which is why the end application of a part is of prime importance, and why it’s so necessary for the supplier to know the end

Forged Steels for Oil and Gas Exploration

Selecting The Right Steel For The Job The United States has always been one of the world leaders in the oil and gas business, but with the serious advent of fracking a couple of decades ago, it became the world’s number one producer of crude oil and gas. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is

Heat Treating Steel Forgings

A Closer Look At Heat Treating and Chemistry In Steel When a forging with around 0.8% carbon comes off the press and is cooled to ambient temperature, it has a microstructure of ferrite plus pearlite; over 0.8% carbon, one of pearlite plus cementite. Ferrite is effectively pure iron, pearlite is ferrite plus cementite. Under

Carbon: The Mighty Atom

Chemical symbol C, atomic weight 12, atomic number 6 We all know what carbon is, that it exists as charcoal, coal, coke, and after millions of years under extreme pressure, diamonds. But for the most part it’s a dirty, messy, shapeless mass that seems good for nothing apart from being burned or reducing

Machine Shops Profit from Near Net Shape Forgings

by Dell Williams  Originally published on Manufacturing.net Machine shops often need open die forged parts for a variety of applications, including large, custom parts, small quantity runs or when high strength and durability are required. When this is the case, machine shops often contract with forgers for “as forged” parts and then perform finish

One Alloy. Many Uses As we previously mentioned, the stainless steel that Harry Brearley discovered was what came to be known as type 420, or what we call a martensitic stainless steel. Or a hardenable stainless steel that may be hardened and tempered, as are normal carbon or alloy steels. There are also
