SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

From Testing To End-Use Specifications Can Make Or Break Your Forging
When it comes to material specifications, the best thing you can do is ask a lot of questions.
What is the application?
Are there drawings?
Is testing needed?
Will certifications be required?
Forging Experts
The title of the specification may not always be enough. It often helps to know the grade and the class within the specification that we must forge to. These details allow us to understand better the testing and heat treat requirements for your component to certify that your forging meets those requirements. Let us supplement your team to help forge and certify your components. Continue learning what else you need to know about your forging when requesting a quote in the links below.
As a custom forge shop with experts in each industry, we hardly ever see two forgings that are the same. Just a few checklist items to consider when purchasing a forging are:
Do you require heat treatment?
What special testing do you need?
Are you quoting as-forged, rough machined or finish machined?
To what specifications do you need to certify?
These are all great questions and really only scratch the surface of what you may need out of your forging. More often than not, if you're unfamiliar with the buying process or metal forming, this can be overwhelming.
Hardness Conversion & Alloy Charts
To help you find the approximate hardness of steel using Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers scales, we have put together a conversion chart. These conversions are meant to provide you with guidance only as each scales uses different methods of measuring hardness.
Material to help you discover more about forging from brochures and whitepapers to case studies, we are to provide you with the tool for success.
It's not as simple as you may think! When working with large quantities, it helps to have a dedicated account manager who understands the cadence required to keep your shop or projects running smoothly. Our technically trained team can help you save time and money by appropriately batching work either for material or thermal treatment purposes.
