At the heart of the operation is our custom-designed, computer-controlled GFM single-stand planishing mill. Through a series of reversing passes, the planishing mill rolls the bar to a smooth surface in less than five minutes. While still hot, the bar moves down the GFM mill to the Braun abrasive saw station for trimming. A 16’ round can be cut in less than half a minute. To complete the process, the bar is end-stamped for traceability by an automated programmable marking system. The bar is then slowly rotated down an automatic uniform cooling bed to maintain straightness. Since the bars can be produced so efficiently in the planishing mill, delivery times are reduced. Unlike traditional hot-rolled bars, which can only be manufactured in large runs, forged Tartan Round Bars can be purchased in quantities as small as the product of one ingot.

Finish rolling (or planishing) begins as the forged bar goes through one of the four hyperbolic grooves of the custom-engineered GFM bar mill. The desired final dimension is reached after a series of bar rotations and reversing passes through the grooves, taking less than 3 minutes to complete. While still hot, bars are cut to size by a Braun abrasive saw. A 16" round can be cut in less than half a minute. Bars are end-stamped for traceability by an automated programmable marking system. Bars are slowly rotated down an automatic uniform cooling bed to maintain straightness. A 50,000 gallon quench tank and nine tip up furnaces have been custom-designed to efficiently handle any bar requirement. Process options include normalize, anneal, solution anneal, quench and temper, and stress relieve. A custom-built Hetran bar peeler provides fast, centerless machining to extremely smooth surfaces. This peeling process takes less than one-fourth the time of conventional turning operations. Carbon, alloy, stainless steel, copper-based, and other ferrous and non-ferrous high-quality starting material are heated to forging temperature in car tip up/box furnace.

Manufacturing is a great field for a variety of reasons. Learn more about what you can earn and save by choosing a career in manufacturing! Why Manufacturing? Thinking About A Career In Manufacturing? Manufacturers represent the backbone of the innovation economy and do most of the nation's Research and Development. They employ many skilled workers, from engineers and programmers to technicians and logistics managers. They are a major source of employment. FACTS ABOUT MANUFACTURING WHY CHOOSE MANUFACTURING Useful Education Manufacturing-Focused Skills Math for technicians Safety Hand tools Electrical systems Blueprint reading Power tools Lean manufacturing Measurement and quality control Pneumatics Hydraulics Sensor technology Robotics Material handling Computer integrated manufacturing Millions of Future Jobs According to a study by Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute, over the next decade, nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will likely be needed and two million are expected to go unfilled due to the gap between the talent manufacturers’ need to keep growing their businesses and the talent they can actually find. A Better, Safer Work Environment A large cause of the gap is a lack of knowledge and understanding about what a career in manufacturing actually looks like. The stereotype over the years has been that work is monotonous and factories are dark, dirty and dangerous places. The truth is that manufacturing plants are very technologically advanced places and a lot of the work that is manufactured is highly mechanized. Lucrative Careers, Not Just Jobs Unlike many other industries that only provide jobs, manufacturing provides careers. Educators, administrators and staff need to realize not all students are bound for college and a four-year degree. Instead, they need to understand alternatives where people can earn a good living wage without straddling themselves with debt. Many intelligent individuals struggle with traditional high school learning and test-taking. These students are more visual learners and tend to be mechanically inclined. Careers such as a machinist, a tool and die maker or a welder are critical jobs that can be very lucrative due to their high demand, and students have the ability to earn a great wage and start their career right out of high school. Avoid Crippling Debt Research conducted by the Idaho Department of Labor found that the average bachelor’s degree in the United States costs $127,000! Additionally, nearly 70 percent of students take out loans to help pay for school. According to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), the average 2016 college graduate has over $37,000 in student loan debt and an average monthly student loan repayment of over $350. Manufacturing can provide students with a bright future filled with opportunity and success. It can enhance a student’s potential to specialize in lucrative career fields, provide a clean and technical work environment, help advance the U.S. economy and offer paths to additional industry credentials. Working with high-technology equipment, being a part of an important industry and entering into a field with opportunity instead of debt are a few benefits of choosing a career in manufacturing. Emphasis On Career Readiness Educators shoulder the responsibility to prepare college-bound students to be “college-ready;” however, they also need to emphasize “career ready” equally. Schools need to reinforce and be comfortable with the statement: “It’s OK to not get a traditional 4-year degree.” After graduation, students need to learn about their options; schools should be driven to provide students with the resources necessary to develop them into productive members of the workforce and society. Manufacturing Careers In High Demand Careers in manufacturing are expected to increase at a rate of 10 percent over the next seven years according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Those careers range from assembly and fabrication to computer programming, sales and more. Some manufacturing jobs require certifications and some require degrees, and all are equally important. Whether an individual wants a hands-on job in manufacturing or is interested in behind-the-scenes logistics, there are vast opportunities within the manufacturing sectors —specific industry knowledge can help them pursue many possibilities. Many of the skills learned are applicable to other jobs in the broad manufacturing field. This can make it easier to find jobs and provides more opportunities for career advancement. Earn While You Learn Manufacturing, a highly technical trade, provides higher-than-average wages and benefits for employees. At Scot Forge, we offer our employees up to $5,000 a year to cover all costs of pre-approved undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate degree level programs if they wish to pursue a higher-education degree. We also pay for any pre-approved courses and non-degree certificate programs in any field related to an employee’s career. As a continuously improving company, we encourage all employees to improve their skills on a regular basis. So, we offer enriching employment opportunities through a variety of formal internship and student learner programs, registered apprenticeships and job shadowing. Additionally, we bring in professors from local colleges to make learning more convenient. On top of that, we feel it’s important to reward our employees for their time commitment with an added bonus for those who complete 40 hours or more of educational study per year.

Discover the Future Alloy Study & Testing (FAST) Center’s automated alloy testing, materials characterization and high-throughput services supporting DOW research and industry innovation. Future Alloy Study & Testing (FAST) Center The Future Alloy Study & Testing (FAST) Center is an advanced materials characterization lab that provides high-throughput alloy testing and automated mechanical property testing services to support the U.S. industrial base and Department of War (DOW) research goals. Our facility accelerates material innovation with state-of-the-art velocity testing and discrete characterization for new alloys and thermal processing methods. The FAST Center, commissioned by the Department of War (DOW), is a partnership between Scot Forge and the Innovation Capability and Modernization (ICAM) office that manages and executes the Department’s Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program element. The FAST Center is a highly automated characterization lab that supports the IBAS goals of improving the readiness and competitiveness of the U.S. industrial base by expediting the testing and reporting of new alloys and process methods. FAST Request Form Automated Alloy Testing to Accelerate Materials Innovation The goal of the FAST Center is to support the DOW and the warfighter by dramatically increasing the pace of material innovation and development. This state-of-the-art, fully automated characterization lab will help expedite the certification of new materials or thermal processes by conducting thousands of tests in a matter of weeks with the ability to deliver on multiple concurrent projects. Fast Center Operational Paths: 1. VELOCITY TESTING is High Volume Testing for Property Bounding This path is designed and equipped to conduct rapid turnaround of very high volumes of the most common tests for property bounding. Velocity testing capabilities are designed to maximize the data available for the scientific community and are useful for rapid chemistry and heat treat iteration testing. 2. DISCRETE TESTING is Low Volume Testing for Property Refinement This path is highly customized. Upon agreement of the appropriate chemistries or heat treatments, samples will proceed to the discrete testing path for the remainder of the characterization requirements. Given the nature of the tests, the duration of the discrete tests will be highly dependent on the alloy system and testing requirements.
