Scot Forge, a leader in open die forging, announces the availability of complete in-house heat treating capabilities for its forged ring, blank, bar, spindle, tooled, and hollow forging products. Scot Forge's ability to accommodate the critical heat treating needs of its customers, along with other secondary processes such as machining, makes it truly a "one stop shop" for forged parts.

>Scot Forge's in-house heat treating promotes high quality, reliable products, since the same company that manufactures the forging is also performing the heat treating. In addition, it promotes fast turnaround and eliminates the added costs associated with purchasing from multiple vendors.

The company maintains 28 car bottom, tip-up, and pit furnaces with capacities to 52' long or 20' in diameter. Quenching equipment includes 55,000, 50,000, 40,000, and two 6,000 gallon quench tanks, with both polymer and water quenching available for parts up to 50,000 lbs. The company recently designed and installed two new furnaces for heat treating rings with diameter capacities of 17' and 20', featuring a highly efficient and innovative burner configuration that promotes a circular convection action. In addition, a new Scot Forge-designed ring quench tank heat treats rings up to 20' diameter.

While Scot Forge's heat treating facilities are primarily maintained for use on in-house forged products, limited commercial services are also available.
