Discover Current Job Opportunities Furthermore, our high school and college interns not only receive this experience but also gain an hourly wage – letting you earn income while learning about the manufacturing industry first-hand. Discover Apprentice & Internships Meet our people. Discover our spirit. View this video to learn about our unique culture. 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.

- WHY FORGING (List) | Scot Forge
With over 120 years of forging and metal forming experience, we have developed the knowledge to compile helpful resources for our customers. WHY FORGING? Meeting Needs & Exceeding Expectations Forging produces predictable and uniform grain size and flow characteristics, translating into superior metallurgical and mechanical qualities, delivering increased directional toughness in the final part. Forging also eliminates internal voids and gas pockets for predictable structural integrity, which reduces part inspection requirements, simplifies heat treating and machining, and ensures optimum part performance under field-load conditions. As a result, these high-strength properties can reduce sectional thickness and overall weight without compromising final part integrity. If your needs are a bit more complex, we welcome a challenge. Our industry specialists and technically trained sales, many of whom have engineering degrees or experience on the shop floor, are experts equipped to provide you with on-the-spot forging information.

WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED! FORGING SUCCESS STORIES Forge Industry Terms A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A Alloy Steel Steel that, in addition to carbon, contains one or more elements in sufficient amounts to appreciably alter properties compared with those of carbon steel. Materials are alloyed to enhance physical and mechanical properties such as strength, ductility, and hardenability. Annealing A heat treating operation wherein metal is heated to a temperature above its critical range, held at that temperature long enough to allow full recrystallization, then slowly cooled through the critical range. Annealing removes working strains, reduces hardness, and increases ductility. Austenitic Steels Steels containing such proportion of an alloying element or elements that the austenitic structure is retained at room temperature. B Billet Also often called a bloom. A semifinished product of square, rectangular, or even round cross-section, hot rolled or forged. Producing billets or blooms from ingots by forging is called cogging, while by rolling it is called blooming. Blank A disc-type forging is produced by upsetting and rounding starting stock. Boring Machining a hole or enlarging an existing one with the objective of producing a more accurate hole than by drilling. Bottom Poured Ingot An ingot is produced by pouring molten steel into a vertical trumpet where the steel flows down the trumpet, through runners, and then enters the ingot mold from the bottom. This method provides substantially improved surface quality and internal soundness, as well as ingot yield advantages, over top-poured ingots. Brinell Hardness A measurement of a metal hardness (or ability to resist penetration). A steel ball is forced into the surface of the material tested under a specific load. The diameter of the depression is measured, and the hardness is the ratio of load to spherical area of the impression. C Camel Back A rectangular step-down bar that has the high point near the center. Carbon Steel Steel that owes its properties chiefly to various percentages of carbon with only residual amounts of alloying elements (except those added for composition control such as silicon and manganese). Casting Process of pouring molten metal into a prepared mold cavity of a desired shape and allowing the metal to solidify. Centrifugal Casting Casting process that consists of pouring molten metal into the cavity of a rotating mold, which can be made of various materials. Charpy Impact Test An impact test in which a specially V-notched specimen is broken by the impact of a falling pendulum. The energy absorbed in fracture is a measure of the impact strength or notch toughness of the sample. Closed-Die Forging Also called Impression Die Forging. A forging that is formed to the required shape and size by machined impressions in specially prepared dies that exert three-dimensional control on the workpiece. Cogging The reducing operation in working the ingots into a billet or bloom by the use of forging hammer or a forging press. Concentric Objects or part features having a common center. Contour Torch Cutting Torch cutting or flame cutting a part to achieve a specific shape or contour.

Fatigue Resistance The ability of a metal to withstand repeated and varying loads without weakening. Ferrous Metals that contain iron as the major alloying element. Flat Bar A forged bar with a rectangular cross-section and the four corners are at right angles (90°). Flat Head Spindle A spindle with a rectangular head(s). Forging Process of working metal to the desired shape by impact or pressure from hammers, presses or forging machines. The metal object so produced is termed a forging. Flanged (hollow) A hollow forging with one or more protruding ribs or flanges on the outside diameter. G Gear Weldment A semi-finished gear fabrication including the outer ring, inner hub, and torch-cut stiffening plates. Grain Size The average size of the crystals or grains in a metal as measured against an accepted standard. H Hammer Forging The mechanical forming of metal by means of a hammer. The action of the hammer is that of an instantaneous application of pressure in the form of a sudden blow. Hardness The ability of a metal to resist penetration, is defined in terms of the measurement (Brinell, Rockwell, etc.). Hardness Test A test used to determine the relative resistance to indentation or displacement of metals by pressure, or by resistance to abrasion. Common methods of testing include Brinell, Rockwell, and Vickers tests. Head Largest point of a forging. Heat Treatment An operation or combination of operations involving the heating and cooling of a metal or alloy in the solid state to attain certain desired microstructure or properties. Hollow Forging The process of producing circular hollow, tube-like parts by expanding or lengthening the hot workpiece over a mandrel. Hub Part that has been upset forged using loose tools. This process produces a shape with a smaller diameter projection from either one or both sides of the major diameter of the part. I Ingot A casting suitable for working or remelting; the basic starting stock for the forging process. Intergranular Corrosion Corrosion of a metal along its grain boundaries. ISO 9001 An international family of specifications and standards for quality assurance management systems involving a third party for inspection and registration.

Milling The process of producing machined surfaces by progressively removing a predetermined amount of material from the work piece which is fed to a rotating milling cutter. N Neck Transition point when going from one size to another in a forging. Necking Refers to the operation of cutting a groove of predetermined depth in a work piece. Nondestructive Testing Any type of testing performed on an object that leaves it unchanged. Non-ferrous Metals that do not contain iron as the major alloying element. Normalizing Commonly used heat treatment that decreases pearlite interlamellar spacing and refines grain size. The process consists of heating steels above the transformation temperature range, holding at temperature, and then cooling in air. O Open Die Forging The mechanical forming of metals between flat or shaped dies, where flow of the metal is not completely restricted. Open Die Press, Hydraulic A forging press with a hydraulically operated ram. P Peeled Bar A round bar that has been centerless machined to remove its outer surface. The peeling process takes less than one-fourth the time of conventional lathe-turning operations. Planishing A finishing operation used to obtain closer tolerances and a smoother surface on a round workpiece. Planishing Mill, Bar A custom-designed, computer controlled GFM single-stand bar mill. After an initial forging process, bars are sent through a series of reversing passes on the planishing mill where they are rolled to a smooth surface in less than five minutes. Pneumatic Hammer A forging hammer that uses compressed air both to drive the hammer down for a working blow to the workpiece and reposition it for the next blow. Press Forging Mechanical forming of metals by means of a press. The action is that of kneading the metal by relatively slow application of force as compared with the action of hammering. Profiled Rolled Ring A forged rolled ring with a contoured or profiled cross section achieved during the rolling process. Q Quenching Rapid cooling of a heated metal, generally by immersion in liquids, to increase strength and hardness. Quenching is always followed by a temper to increase ductility. R Ring Mill Equipment used to produce forged rolled rings. A metal ring preform is rolled between two rolls that move toward each other to form a continuously reducing gap. Ring Preform Material that has been upset and pierced to form a hollow "donut." This is the starting stock needed to produce a rolled ring. Rolled Ring A forged seamless ring produced on a ring mill. Rough Machining A machining operation that allows stock for subsequent finish machining. S Saw Cutting Metalworking process used to cut starting ingot or billet stock to length in preparation for the forging process and also to trim forged parts to size. Scale Oxidation that forms on the outside of hot metal and forms a crust. The appearance and amount of scale is depended on the grade of steel and the time it is in the furnace before processing. Secondary Processing As used in this reference, all metalworking processes that follow the forging process. Typical secondary processes are heat treating, rough machining, trimming, torch cutting, and testing. Shot Blasting A metal cleaning or finishing process in which a fluid blast blows abrasive steel balls against the surface.

A longitudinal bar-type product with more than one diameter or cross section size. Stock Stock is the amount of additional material above the rough turn print sizes. The more stock, the greater the chance the work piece will still be acceptable even with surface defects in present. T Tartan Bars® Round bars 6" to 16" diameter with a forged center and rolled bar surface produced only by Scot Forge. Thermocouple A device consisting of two different conductors (usually metal alloys, termed “bi-metallic”) that produce a voltage proportional to a temperature difference, between either end of the two conductors. Thermocouples are a widely used type of temperature sensor for measurement and control. Temper Heat treat process performed after quenching or normalizing. The forging is heated to a temperature below the critical temperatures and cooled at a suitable rate. Tempering steel after hardening to relieve quenching stresses ensures dimensional stability and obtains specified mechanical properties. Tensile Strength The maximum load per unit of initial cross-sectional area obtained before rupture in a tension test. Tensile Test A tension-testing machine mechanically or hydraulically applies a tensile load to a specimen. The test establishes ultimate strength, yield strength, and ductility (elongation and reduction of area). Torch Cutting The cutting or parting of steel objects with a torch using a flame with excess oxygen to completely oxidize or "burn" the steel directly in the path of the flame; flame cutting. Toughness Testing Test used to assess the resistance of metals to brittle fracture propagation (spreading) in the presence of stress raisers.

Acting as an extension of your team, our metallurgists are well versed in material development, our forge engineers have decades of experience making the impossible possible, and our sales team is your advocate for getting parts on time, as promised. Whether you're working on one-off projects for energy storage R&D - including material design - or looking to get ahead by scheduling out your repeat components, you can rely on Scot Forge. RENEWABLE ENERGY FORGE CONSULTATION & CUSTOM ENGINEERING We want to be more than just a manufacturer meeting your needs. We want to be a partner in getting our world to net-zero emissions by helping you discover opportunities and overcome challenges that energy storage presents, which according to Sandia National Laboratories, include: Offsetting the need for additional peaking generation capacity and reducing equipment wear, fuel use and air emissions. Enabling effective, optimal integration of intermittent renewables and possibly baseload renewables. Providing secondary services, helping distribute the electrical follow and supply reserve capacity, which will probably become a crucial element of the Smart Grid, facilitating 'demand response' resources. Giving utility planners and engineers flexible, reliable, and possibly less-risky alternatives to investments in conventional energy. Addressing growing electric service power quality and electric service reliability challenges, possibly by enabling utilities to provide differentiated electric service with higher quality and/or reliability. Forging for Energy Storage Including: Pumped Hydroelectric Energy Storage. A popular form of energy storage, pumped-storage hydroelectricity is typically designed to store excess power from the grid. Using the excess electricity to pump water up to a reservoir can be stored then released when demand rises. Similar to hydropower, once released, the water flows down through a turbine to generate electricity. The turbine/generator is similar to typical hydroelectric power plants that do not incorporate storage. Compressed Air Energy Storage. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) involves using excess energy to compress air at up to 1,000 pounds per square inch, creating a high-pressure system in a series of large underground chambers. This energy storage method is coupled with wind energy. When the wind speeds slow or power demand surges, the pressurized air energy, typically mixed with a bit of natural gas, is released to spin turbines turning generators to create electricity. Flywheel Energy Storage. Flywheel electric energy storage systems include a shaft connected to a cylinder that spins rapidly within a vacuum-sealed enclosure attaining rotational speeds up to 60,000 revolutions per minute. Some flywheels use magnetic bearings to levitate the cylinder, thus limiting friction-related losses and wear. Excess electricity is used to accelerate a flywheel (a type of rotor) through which kinetic rotational energy is stored. When the electricity is needed, the stored energy is converted via slowing the flywheel's rotational speed through a shaft that turns a generator. Thermal Energy Storage. Electricity can be used to produce thermal energy. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, "coupling heating systems with thermal and seasonal storage offers important flexibility in demand in regions where winters are particularly harsh. For example, the Drake Landing Solar Community in Canada uses a long-term thermal energy storage system to store heat from solar collectors during summer for space heating during winter. In coupling the power and thermal sector, Siemens-Gamesa is testing a thermal energy storage system that uses wind power to produce heat stored in over 1,000 tons of rock. This system provides a thermal storage capacity of 130 megawatt-hours of electric energy at rated charging temperatures of 750°C. IRENA estimates that around 234-gigawatt hours of thermal energy storage are present, a crucial enabler of reliable, secure and flexible energy systems." Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage. A superconducting magnetic energy storage system (SMES ) stores electricity as a magnetic field in an environment cooled below the temperature needed for superconductivity. As long as this temperature is maintained, energy can be stored indefinitely because the current will not degrade. Additional SMES components include power conditioning equipment and a cryogenically cooled refrigeration system. Methane. Researchers have developed a way to take the products of biomass gasification to produce methane, which is then be burned to power turbines. Methane essentially serves as an energy storage medium and can be stored or easily piped/shipped using the existing natural gas infrastructure.
