T-slot bolts are a type of fastener used to secure objects to a T-slot table, also known as a T-slot bed or T-slot plate. What are Forged T-slot Bolts? Forged T-slot bolts, as the name suggests, are T-slot bolts that are produced through the process of forging. Forging is a manufacturing process in which a […]
Wing nuts are one of the most commonly used types of fasteners in various industries. They are versatile and easy to use, making them a popular choice for securing equipment, machinery, and structures. Among the different types of wing nuts available, cold forged stainless steel wing nuts stand out as an excellent choice for those […]
Stainless steel offers excellent resistance to corrosion and high temperatures because it contains low levels of carbon and chromium. When the fasteners are exposed to a corrosive environment, there is nothing better than stainless steel fasteners. They are non-magnetic and offer low thermal and electrical conductivity. When forming a new shape from raw stainless steel, its initial integral […]
What are the basic differences between forging and casting? What makes forged steel components a lot better than cast steel parts and what are its most common applications? Here are some things you definitely need to know. Steel Forging Vs. Steel Casting – Understanding the Difference While steel casting involves the heating of the steel […]
Forged steel fittings are the fittings made by forged steel. The process of manufacturing forged steel fittings include: cutting and heating billets, put pressure on heated billets under dies into desired shape, trimming and shot blasting. Then machine forged blank fittings for net shape and dimensions. According to the applications of forged steel fittings, they […]
Closed die steel forging-sometimes referred to as “near-net-shape” or “impression die” steel forging – offers numerous technical advantages, saves on material usage, and carries an upfront tooling investment that’s not nearly as expensive as some people think. Improved Strength to Weight Ratio In the closed die forging process, metal bar or billet is heated before […]
AISI 8620 is a type of alloy steel, which composed of iron, carbon, silicon, molybdenum, manganese, nickel, chromium, sulphur and phosphorus. These ingredient elements must be within certain weight percentages to create the 8620 alloy. It takes advantages of good strength and toughness properties, and has a higher core strength than grades 8615 and 8617. […]
About Hot Forging Forging is the metal working manufacturing process in which the useful shape of metal component is obtained in solid state by compressive forces through the use of dies and tools. Traditionally, forging was performed by a smith using hammer and anvil. Using hammer and anvil is a crude form of forging. The smithy […]
A 105 is an ASTM steel forging specification mainly used for carbon steel forged piping components. This type of carbon steel forging alloy involved is a low carbon, manganese and silicon containing steel similar to AISI 1330, but with lower manganese content. Chemical Composition of ASTM A105 Carbon: ≤0.35 Manganese: 0.60-1.05 Phosphorus: ≤0.35 Sulfur: ≤0.40 […]
AISI 1045, medium carbon steel, has a tensile strength of 570 – 700 MPa and Brinell hardness ranging between 170 and 210. AISI 1045 carbon steel can give the advantages of good weldability, good machinability, and high strength and impact properties in either the normalized or hot forged condition. Chemical Composition: Carbon: 0.43-0.50 Manganese: 0.60-0.90 Phosphorous: ≤0.040 […]
