Custom Alloys
Custom Melted Alloy Forged Parts
All Metals & Forge Group can provide material from any standard specification chemistry or customer modified chemistry for forgings and seamless rolled rings. Custom melting uses the chemistry stated in the specification to create an ingot or billet for further metalworking. It is often used when a material alloy is no longer commercially smelted, or the lead time for ingots or billets is unusually long due to market demand. Long lead times are often seen with nickel alloys, although stainless steel availability can become impaired, as well.
AMFG can provide custom melted material in carbon, alloy, tool, and stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, nickel, and super alloys. Minimum melt requirements vary by metal alloy, and range from 300 pounds to 30,000 pounds. Ingot or billet chemistry and quality are controlled to meet industry standard specifications. A mill test report is produced to document the material chemistry. Custom melt alloys can be produced in about 30 days for open die forgings and seamless rolled rings.
Forged shapes from custom melt alloys are the same as for any material and include forged blocks, round and square bars, discs, cylinders, flanges, seamless rolled rings, shafts, step shafts, and complex forged shapes. Lead times for forgings and seamless rolled rings from custom melt alloys can be as soon as 10-14 weeks after receipt of order (ARO) depending on alloy, part complexity, and piece quantity.
All Metals & Forge Group can produce forgings in volumes from 1 piece to several hundred units for production delivery needs or annual usage requirements. See the forging capabilities chart under Capabilities for more information on material shapes and metal alloys available.
All Metals & Forge Group takes great pride in maintaining one of the most stringent ISO9001, AS9100 quality systems in the open die forging and seamless rolled ring industry. It begins with taking a customer’s end use, required forged surface condition, mechanical properties of the specified alloy, forged shape, heat treatment, delivery need, and competitive price. All this is coupled with forging soundness proven by ultrasonic testing, and care in packing goods to arrive in pristine condition at the customer’s desired location. Every step is monitored by the quality system at AMFG and continuously improved.
AMFG performs rough machining to within 3mm of finished dimensions to reduce the CNC cost at the customer’s machine shop for all the forged shapes the company produces. The rough machined surface condition is 250 RMS so that proper quality testing can be performed on each part – the AMFG standard.
AMFG can perform finish machining to within .001 of an inch for final tolerance and 64 or 32 RMS surface finish. This level of quality and precision is unique in an industry where other suppliers’ parts are often delivered black, as forged, or with a rough machined surface of 500 RMS, without the internal or external steps and dimensions to reduce machining costs.
From inquiry to invoice, All Metals & Forge Group quality is managed and not assumed. Whether the need is for one part, an entire project, or a production run, AMFG delivers.
