Everyone's An Owner Scot Forge is a 100% ESOP company where each employee, after meeting certain criteria, actually becomes an owner. Having a stake in the profitability of the company fosters a sense of responsibility to get every order correct, handle equipment properly and fully satisfy each customer. It also creates a progressive atmosphere where new and creative ideas for performing job functions are encouraged, as improvements in any area increase the value of the company and each person's share in it. An All-Salaried Workforce Scot Forge operates as an all-salaried workforce, meaning that all full-time employees (exempt and non-exempt) are afforded a 40-hour paycheck based on normal business and economic conditions. This policy has greatly contributed to a "team spirit of equality" among all employee-owners. A Culture Of Continuous Improvement Scot Forge is a real practitioner of the "continuous improvement process." There is an actual "CIP Leader" whose job is to train employee-owners in how to work on problem solving teams and to understand how valuable and important each of their contributions are to the success of the company. Earn While You Learn CNC Machine Operator Internship - Just one of the development opportunities offered at Scot Forge! Recognizing & Rewarding Service For every five years of service, employee-owners are publicly recognized at an awards dinner and, depending on the length of service, receive jeweled Highlander pins, pens, watches or cash. Additionally, in honor of ESOP founder and Chairman of the Board Peter Georgeson, our Peter I. Georgeson Awards recognize fellow workers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty for the past year. At the annual awards dinner, winners from six categories are recognized and publicly awarded a bronzed Scottish drum major statue and a bronze medallion to put on their hard hats or have framed. Consider, now, a seamless hollow-core Scot Forge forging that is forged at elevated temperatures with dynamic recrystallization (the immediate formation of stress-free grains upon deformation). The stresses introduced during forging to produce the cylindrical shape are immediately removed through the recrystallization of the crystal structure, resulting in an essentially stress-free forging. Consequently, a rolled and welded assembly possesses significantly higher residual stress than a forged seamless cylinder (hollow-core). Furthermore, no thermal stresses from welding are introduced during formation of the cylinder as a seamless forged hollow-core, unlike the rolled and welded plate method. To summarize, the Scot Forge seamless hollow-core forging is far more stable and possesses a higher degree of structural integrity (no welds!) than a rolled and welded cylinder assembly for an often lower overall cost. Proudly Plaid In 1977, the company's name was changed from Atlas Forgings to Scot Forge, and a Scottish highlander became part of the corporate logo. Not only did the new name reflect then-owner Pete Georgeson's cultural roots, it brought a friendlier, more personal image to mind. Along with the new name came a unique sales promotional tool—the wearing of tartan jackets, ties, kilts, scarves and other clothing by the employees. Today, Scot Forge employees are recognized in a crowd with their trademark plaids, and it has brought a certain pride to the employee-owners to be recognized as a member of the "Scot Forge family." Showing Our True Colors An in-house "store" carries casual clothing for men, women, children - and even babies - with the Scot Forge logo embroidered or silk-screened on virtually everything from sweatshirts to "kilt liner" shorts. In addition to the traditional tartan jackets and kilts worn for company functions, employee-owners and their families often display their company pride by wearing this casual Scot Forge logo-wear after working hours. Working Together, Playing Together Scot Forge builds camaraderie among its employee-owners with a variety of social events including annual picnics, golf outings, bowling competitions, canoe trips, and Christmas parties. Opportunities To Learn & Grow Tuition reimbursement and educational incentive programs allow employees the opportunity for advanced skills and knowledge through education and training. Scot Forge reimburses employee-owners classes taken and awards $250 for completing 40 hours of education in a calendar year. These programs give employee-owners incentive to improve oneself and put them in a better position for advancement. The programs promote the importance of education to the individual as well as the organization. Taken together, these and many other corporate programs and policies foster an environment where the employee-owners naturally want to work towards the common Scot Forge goal of providing total customer satisfaction. It is often said that people make the difference and that is especially so at Scot Forge. The combined creativity, enthusiasm, talent and team spirit shown by the employee-owners forms the basis for Scot Forge's success and leadership in the forging industry. Committed To Safety Because We Care Our employee-owners take pride in delivering quality products, on-time, without compromising safety or adversely affecting the environment. By combining teamwork with continuous improvement, we have created a culture focused on sending each employee home uninjured every day. Year after year, Scot Forge is recognized by OSHA and the Forging Industry Association for our outstanding safety performance because each year we purposefully strive to be safer and better than we have ever been before. In 2019, we were recognized by EHS Today Magazine as one of America's Safest Companies. Our company originally won the award in 2014 becoming the very first forging facility in the United States to receive this safety recognition. Read our Safe Start Success Story.

A technical white paper outlining forging capacity, metallurgy, deformation ratios and inspection benchmarks for large open-die and rolled ring forgings used in critical applications. Forging Capacity, Metallurgy and Quality Benchmarks for Large Forgings What Buyers Should Evaluate When Sourcing Large Forgings Large open-die and rolled-ring forgings are used in some of the most demanding industrial, energy and nuclear applications. While many forging suppliers advertise similar capabilities, meaningful differences exist in ingot sourcing, deformation control, heat-treatment capacity and inspection depth. This white paper defines the technical benchmarks buyers should evaluate when sourcing large forgings for critical service. Download White Paper Download White Paper Play Video Play Video What This White Paper Covers Heat treatment limitations at large cross sections Application-specific requirements for regulated industries Non-destructive and destructive testing benchmarks Ingot procurement and metallurgical control Deformation ratios and grain flow refinement This technical paper addresses the factors that determine forging performance and reliability, including: Scot Forge on-staff, in-house metallurgists and quality inspectors implement testing methods that support production, quality control and research and development for our customers. Our expertise includes: What This White Paper Covers Nondestructive examination Destructive testing Metallurgy review and support Failure analysis This technical paper addresses the factors that determine forging performance and reliability, including: Heat treatment limitations at large cross sections Application-specific requirements for regulated industries Non-destructive and destructive testing benchmarks Ingot procurement and metallurgical control Deformation ratios and grain flow refinement Forgings Requiring Nadcap Nondestructive Testing Scot Forge’s Nadcap Nondestructive Testing (NDT) certification is not automatically applied to all orders which require NDT. If Nadcap NDT is required, it must be specified on the purchase order. Why Forging Capacity Claims Are Often Misleading Press tonnage, maximum diameter and part weight alone do not determine forging quality. Without sufficient deformation, proper ingot selection and controlled heat treatment, large forgings may fail to meet mechanical and inspection requirements. This paper explains why buyers should evaluate process capability rather than nominal size limits. Ingot Sourcing & Metallurgical Control Ingot quality directly impacts forging integrity. Variability in melt practice, chemistry and ingot size selection can introduce defects that cannot be corrected later in the process. The white paper outlines: Chemistry control considerations How ingot sourcing impacts deformation efficiency Ingot size selection relative to final geometry Heat Treatment & Inspection at Scale Heat treatment and inspection capability must scale with part size. This paper reviews: Furnace uniformity considerations Cooling and quench limitations The value of in-house destructive testing Ultrasonic testing depth and sensitivity Deformation Ratios & Grain Refinement Effective deformation, also called reduction, improves grain-flow continuity and refines the microstructure. This section explains: Why deformation ratios matter more than press tonnage How reduction sequencing affects mechanical properties Limitations of under-deformed large forgings Applications & Industries Served The benchmarks in this paper apply to forgings used in: Nuclear energy Power Generation Defense & National Security Heavy Industrial Download the White Paper Get the full technical analysis, buyer checklist and benchmarking framework.

Consider casting conversions for stronger, more sound and technically superior components and a better supply-chain solution. Advantages of Converting Casting to Forgings Why Forging Over Other Methods? Everyday economic and competitive threats, along with part failures, warranty issues and reputational impact drive manufacturing decision magkers to seek metalworking alternatives. SCOT FORGE EVALUATES CONVERSIONS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. We consider various factors, including the ability to redesign a product as well as the design requirements for the end-use application. Often, this requires engineers to challenge traditional methods and consider new technological advances. CASTING CONVERSIONS CAN FREQUENTLY LOWER TOTAL COSTS. Forgings usually target a lower total cost when compared to a casting or fabrication. When we evaluate cost factors, such as product life-cycle costs from procurement, lead time and rework, as well as costs of scrap, downtime and further quality issues and opportunity costs, the long-term benefits of forgings can far outweigh the short-term cost-savings of castings or fabrications. FORGING FOR COST REDUCTIONS QUALITY ASSURANCE Reducing manufacturing costs. Improving part performance.

Forging Conversion Profit Improvement: Construction equipment manufacturer A customer’s product had a long history of issues due to poor casting quality. Working with Scot Forge, they were able to transition the casting to a forging which removed all re-work and weld repair from their process and allowed them to provide a better component to their customer. This saved an average of seven (7) processing hours per piece. Defense contractor Scot Forge collaborated with a customer to convert a 22 piece fabrication into a two (2) piece forging design, saving over 500 hours in welding costs per unit. Mining equipment manufacturer Our customer’s casting supplier was not able to meet their production demand due to significant weld repair issues, resulting in a potential loss of a significant amount business. Scot Forge was able to provide a solution that met the customer’s demand and delivery requirements at a lower total cost than the casting, saving money and defending business. Forging Conversion Part Improvement: Product/application Rotor arm Material Alloy Steel Previous processing problems The previous process was a casting. The cast part, because of its lack of directional grain flow, did not have the required strength for the demanding application. Due to the lack of strength, part failures were occurring in the field, and the part had a short life span. Costly repairs and maintenance were necessary because of the frequent failures. Forging as the solution Today the part is forged as a one-piece forging. Forging provides a continuous grain flow which ensures high strength, integrity, and longevity. The improved strength has minimized part failures, as well as the need for repair and maintenance. Product/\application Centrifuge bowl Material Stainless Steel Previous processing problems The part was previously centrifugally cast. The customer required a stronger, more resilient centrifuge able to withstand heavy wear and tear, so production could be increased. To manufacture a stronger centrifuge as a centrifugal casting, the RPMs would have to be increased, and the higher loading would have exceeded the attainable properties of the material. The centrifugal casting tooling charge and process costs were expensive, and a stronger centrifuge required a more costly material. Forging as the solution Today the part is manufactured as a near net forging. Forging permitted the design change to a stronger centrifuge, while maintaining the customer's original alloy choice. The ability to handle increased service requirements due to a stronger centrifuge allowed the customer to increase production by 15% The forging cost for the improved centrifuge was 24% lower than the original centrifugal casting. Product/application Hub for a steel mill rolling application Material Alloy Steel Previous processing problems The part was originally a casting Casting failed to meet critical surface requirements, resulting in scrapped parts. At times, inclusions were not found until after extensive finish machining. Forging as the solution Today the part is produced by forging. The hub is now produced by forging and torch cutting. The part has higher strength and structural integrity due to forging's continuous grain flow. The use of cleaner, forging-quality material eliminated surface quality problems and rejections. Ensuring longevity Reducing cost Meeting surface requirements Make Scot Forge Your Forging Partner The knowledge and experience of our engineers, metallurgists and forging experts work in collaboration with your team, helping you to achieve long-term success.

Forging Cost Reductions Improve Your Parts Forging can often create economic advantages over other metalworking methods that save time and materials, as well as improve production efficiencies. Scot Forge employee-owners collaborate with you to discover the most viable solutions for your project. Our highly trained account managers, forge engineers, process engineers and metallurgists add decades of knowledge and experience to your team. CONVERTING HISTORIC DESIGN TO A FORGING QUALITY ASSURANCE CLICK THE TOPICS BELOW AND DISCOVER: Material Optimization Forging can measurably reduce material costs since it requires less starting stock to produce many part shapes and can achieve near-net shapes, saving on scrap costs. Part Design & Component Reduction By minimizing the number of components in a fabricated part and enhancing design, Scot Forge can produce parts with increased quality while reducing overall cost and production time. PRODUCTION EFFICIENCIES Scot Forge has many different sizes of starting ingots and billets on hand, providing a wide variety of ready-to-forge inventoried grades. Using the forging process, the same part can be produced from many different sizes of starting ingots or billets, allowing for a wider variety of inventoried grades. This flexibility means that forged parts of virtually any grade can be manufactured more quickly and economically. Machining Economies Forging also can yield advantages in machining, lead time and tool life. Savings come from forging to a closer-to-finish, or near-net, size than what is capable by alternative metal sources such as torch cutting plate or boring bar. Therefore, less machining is needed to finish the part, with the added benefits of shorter lead times and reduced wear and tear on your equipment. REDUCED REJECTION RATES Often discovering a defect in a cast part doesn’t happen until a part has been on a machine for hours, which can be a headache. But, when this happens to multiple parts it can be a nightmare. It takes time and money to replace parts, puts hours on the machine and increases labor costs, not to mention the lost opportunity cost. Because forging has a 3:1 minimum reduction, porosity and piping are eliminated yielding improved structural integrity. Coupled with a weld-free design, forging can dramatically reduce part rejection. Real Examples of Forging Reducing Cost MATERIAL OPTIMIZATION For example, torch cutting a ring from plate (A), all corner stock and the full center slug are lost, as a result you pay for the excess material. With a forging (B), the part is shaped to a near-net size with minimal waste and optimized use of starting stock. Hubs Torch Cut Parts Hollows Rings Spindles Open die forging and torch cutting allows for a surprisingly large range of sizes and shapes Torch cutting to near net shape saves on machining times without incurring custom die costs. Problem Castings are not always economical and can extend deliveries. Machining from a large block or plate can result in excessive machine times. The need to manufacture dies for specifically shaped castings often result in extended deliveries Castings produce enlarged grain structure, which lowers mechanical properties Excessive costs for small quantity casting runs are incurred due to expensive molds and set-up times When forging to near net is not an option, machining excessive amounts of material from plate is inefficient SOLUTIOn Our forging and torch cutting capabilities allow for intricate jobs to be manufactured economically and with shortened lead times. Our forgings can often be manufactured without the need for custom dies, and our CNC torches can be individually programmed for specialty shapes Forgings produce improved integrity in the finished part for better product reliability Material and labor cost savings through the combination of custom forging near net finished sized with subsequent contour torch cutting. Compared to traditional machining, torch cutting is more efficient, which results in quick turnaround Complete torch cutting capability including pre- and post-heating processes to aid cutting accuracy and relieving stresses for over one hundred different grades of carbon and alloy steels Our forging process allows for high-quality hollows Unlike rolled and welled plate, our hollows are forged seamlessly and utilize in-house tooling to create near net and low cost options. Problem Centrifugal castings are not always economical and can extend deliveries. Heavy wall centrifugal castings often fail to meet critical I.D. surface requirements and require welding and re-machining. The need to manufacture dies for specially shaped centrifugals often results in extended deliveries. Excessive costs for small-quantity runs are incurred due to expensive molds and setup times. Centrifugal castings produce enlarged grain structure, which lowers mechanical properties. SOLUTIOn Custom hollow forgings offer consistently high quality, often at lower costs and with quicker turnaround times. Hollow forgings are uniformly forged with guaranteed soundness regardless of section size. Our extensive in-house tooling enables us to forge a large variety of hollows without added costs or extended lead times. Setup time is nonexistent for hollow forgings, keeping costs and lead time to a minimum whether the quantity is one or one hundred. Our forging process produces a seamless cross section and continuous grain flow which yields the optimum combination of fatigue strength and toughness. The hollow forging process offers a greater variety of O.D. as well as I.D. configurations thus reducing machining time and cost. Using our custom engineered, in-house tooling, we are able to provide thick walled hollows with multiple steps on both the O.D. and I.D. Forging Process Rejection - 0% Continuous grain flow shown on a stepped O.D. and I.D. in the as-forged condition. Centrifugal Casting Process Rejection - 10% The same part shown with columnar grain flow in the as-cast condition. Note extra stock on the O.D. and I.D. required for centrifugal casting vs. forging Forged rings are able to be individually customized for near net shape In material cost, versatility and quality, forged ring solutions deliver superior outcomes compared to flame cutting rings from plate. Problem Flame cutting a ring from plate is not always viable when meeting material requirements, or economical. Material costs are increased due to removal of excess corner stock and center slug. As desired thickness of the ring increases, availability of plate sizes and grades drastically decreases. Uni-directional grain flow of plate increases susceptibility of ring to fatigue failure. SOLUTIOn A custom-forged ring allows greater versatility and improved quality while reducing material cost. The forging process moves and shapes material to ordered ring size with minimal material waste. Required ring thickness has no effect on the virtually limitless combinations of sizes and grades available. Contoured grain flow within forged ring yields optimum combination of strength, toughness and fatigue resistance. The porosity and laminations sometimes encountered in plate is eliminated with a custom-forged ring. Our forged stepped spindles allow endless flexibility in size and variation Reduce material waste, machine times, and freight costs with forged stepdown solutions instead of machining solid bars. Problem Machining a solid bar to form a step-down causes wasteful use of material, labor and time. When machining the step-down, all excess material, as shown here, is lost. Machining time, tool life and freight costs are excessive. Grain flow within the bar is exposed when machined, thus making the material more susceptible to fatigue failure. SOLUTIOn Custom-forging the bar to form a step-down lowers the cost for a value-added part. Forging requires less starting material than a straight round bar machined to shape. Less machining saves money, time and tool life while producing a closer-to-finish shape. Freight and handling costs are lowered because a forged stepdown weighs less than a bar. Contoured grain flow within a forged stepdown yields greater impact and directional strength. Forging allows custom sizes and material savings Our extensive inventory of in-house tooling allows for many custom sizes with quick turnaround for low quantity jobs. Also, for unique applications, we can design specialized tooling. Problem When hub shapes are achieved through machining solid bar stock or flame cutting plate, waste is an inescapable part of the process. When machining a shape from solid bar or flame cutting plate, all excess material—material paid for—is lost. Machining or flame cutting means costly machine time, lowered tool life and increased freight costs for material. Most importantly, the uni-directional grain flow of both bar and plate increases the likelihood of failure due to fatigue. SOLUTIOn Custom forging of hub shapes improves quality, lowers material costs, and offers maximum flexibility. Forgings save on both material and freight costs because it requires less starting stock. Our forgings are produced to a nearer net shape, reducing machine time and labor costs. The optimum combination of strength, toughness and fatigue resistance in the hub is achieved by the continuous grain flow which comes through forging. When machining a shape from a solid bar or flame cutting a plate, all byproduct is wasted at the expense of the customer. Part Design & Component Reduction PART DESIGN Rolled and welded or cut rings from plate are susceptible to fatigue, and carry excess material and processing costs. In the cases below, these common problems were solved by switching to the forging process. Achieving Structural Integrity Optimizing Toughness Enabling Size Versatility Product/application Corrosion-resistant profiled ring, 200" O.D. and 42" face Material Nickel Aluminum Bronze Previous processing problems Three different metalworking processes were attempted to make one ring: a forging, a casting, and a rolled and welded plate. The cast ring failed sonic requirements and had inclusion problems which required excessive machining and weld repair. Extensive welding on the fabricated ring reduced part integrity, jeopardized corrosion resistance and caused distortion of the ring's shape. Forging as the solution Today a forged, profiled seamless rolled ring produces unsurpassed structural integrity. Overall strength is increased through forging's directional grain flow. With the absence of welding, part integrity, corrosion resistance and shape are maintained. Product/application Large gear Material Alloy Steel PREVIOUS PROCESSING PROBLEMS The part was previously produced as a cast ring, with high maintenance and repair costs. The absence of grain flow and directional strength caused part integrity problems. Gears were breaking in the field due to fatigue failure, shortening the service life of the product. Forging as the solution Today the part is made as a contoured forged ring Forging yields improved mechanical properties, reducing the risk of part fatigue and breakage. The continuous grain flow, provided by the forging process, optimizes part integrity and impact toughness. Product/application Bearing application component Material Alloy Steel Ring Size 95-7/8" O.D. X 40-5/8" I.D. X 8-5/8" Thick Previous processing problems The past production process involved torch cutting a heavy wall ring from plate. Excess waste was substantial, since all corner stock and the full center slug of the plate were lost. Desired plate sizes and grades were sometimes difficult to obtain due to ring thickness. Parts were rejected due to inclusions found on the polished surface of the plate. Forging as the solution Today a custom-forged rolled ring allows greater size versatility while oftentimes reducing waste and material costs. Porosity, laminations and inclusions sometimes found in plate are eliminated through the refined grain flow inherent in a forging. COMPONENT REDUCTION When Scot Forge evaluates prints or specifications, we look for ways to eliminate unnecessary steps and expenses while making a superior part. For example we could forge a single component instead of welding multiple pieces together. Consistent Quality Eliminating Steps Reducing Rework Product/application Heat exchanger body Material 90/10 Copper Nickel Previous processing problems Part originally consisted of three components: one rolled and welded plate and two forged rings welded to the ends. The two different metalworking processes made the welding difficult with inconsistent results. Inclusions were present in the plate, requiring extensive weld repair and reinspection. Weld areas required expensive X-ray testing. Forging as the solution Today the part is made as a single forged piece with integral flanges. Consistent quality is assured throughout the part, eliminating the instances of inclusions, making welding unnecessary. Without welding, X-ray testing is not needed. Product/application Cylinder rod for bucket Material Low-Alloy Steel Previous processing problems Previously the part was made from a cast head welded to a hot rolled bar. Casting proved too weak for the application, resulting in shortened product life. The need for welding lengthened process times. In the field, excessive loads on the cast head caused part failures and required subsequent repairs. Forging as the solution Today the part is made as a one-piece forging. Forging allowed the head and shaft to be produced as one part. The strength and structural integrity of the forged material met demanding application requirements. The elimination of welding has shortened part production process time. The forged head is able to withstand excessive loads without failure. Product/application Mixer shaft Material Stainless Steel Previous processing problems The former part was a rolled bar welded to a forged blank. Heating required during the welding process changed the hardness and tensile properties in the weld zone, making it necessary to re-heat treat the part. Cracking was occurring in the weld layer, rework was needed, and there were many failures in the field. Forging as the solution Today the part is made as a one-piece forging. No welding or heating is required, improving properties and eliminating non-value-added steps. Part strength has improved due to one-piece construction and continuous grain flow, resulting in less rework, fewer rejections and increased part life. Machining Economies Below are some examples of how forged hollow products have served as a customized solution for many of Scot Forge's customers—providing a stronger, high-quality product while eliminating excess time, cost and material waste. As you can see less machining is needed to finish the part, with the added benefits of shorter lead times and reduced wear and tear on your equipment. Cutting Waste Reducing Machining Improving Integrity Product/application Paper rollers Material Carbon Steel PREVIOUS PROCESSING PROBLEMS Off-the-shelf tubing was previously used to form this part. Limited available sizes often required excess machining. Frequent inclusions resulted in poor surface quality and low part strength, causing internal rework and high part rejections Forging as the solution Custom-tailored hollow forging has eliminated the need for excessive machining. The combination of using cleaner material and the forging process prevents inclusions, raising part strength and quality. This has solved former internal processing problems. Product/application Paper rollers Material Carbon Steel Previous processing problems Off-the-shelf tubing was previously used to form this part. Limited available sizes often required excess machining. Frequent inclusions resulted in poor surface quality and low part strength, causing internal rework and high part rejections. Forging as the solution Custom-tailored hollow forging has eliminated the need for excessive machining. The combination of using cleaner material and the forging process prevents inclusions, raising part strength and quality. This has solved former internal processing problems. Product/application Piston rod Material Low-Alloy Steel Previous processing problems Formerly, a solid steel bar was bored, machined, heat treated, and then finish machined with a tapered inside diameter. Bar size limitations, and the need to bore out the I.D. resulted in extensive material waste. Excessive machining caused high costs and shortened tool life. Since the I.D. was not tapered prior to heat treating, core hardness could not be achieved in that area. Forging as the solution Today, custom hollow forgings produce a near net shape, reducing material by 23%. Less machining saves time, cost and tool life. Tapered I.D. is achieved during the forging process, which allows core hardness requirements to be met during heat treating. Product/application Recoil cylinder Material Low-Alloy Steel Previous processing problems A centrifugal casting with a straight I.D. and single-step O.D. was formerly used. Failure to meet critical I.D. surface requirements often caused extensive welding and machining repair. High rejection rates were experienced due to poor casting integrity. Excessive reworking costs and failure to meet critical production deadlines were causing major problems. Forging as the solution Today, a hollow-stepped forging is produced with an integral-stepped I.D., delivering higher value with a stronger, near-net shape. Hollow forging the part with a double O.D. and I.D. produced a stronger, near-net shape at less cost. Forging produces a continuous grain flow, yielding the optimum combination of fatigue strength and toughness. The need for weld and machine repair is no longer required; the integrity of the forging eliminates part rejection.
