Many pressure vessels are in use worldwide, but the three most common are storage vessels, heat exchangers and process vessels. Process Vessels Process vessels work to accomplish a task such as separation, heating, cooling, purification, blending and more. These versatile pressure vessels are often part of a production process line, where different tanks are used together to process a product. Types of Pressure Vessels Cylindrical Pressure Vessels Spherical Pressure Vessels Horizontal Pressure Vessels Vertical Pressure Vessels Heat Exchangers Heat exchangers enable the exchange of energy through heat without direct contact. For example, heat exchangers are often used to salvage heat from waste gases in waste processing facilities. Generally, this system contains a series of metal tubes, where one product flows through these tubes while a second product flows around the tubes, transferring heat from one product to another. Storage Vessels Many products require pressure to be stored appropriately, including propane, ammonia, butane, chlorine and LPG and storage pressure vessels are uniquely designed to accommodate each specific product type and temperature.

  • Quoting Specifications | Scot Forge

    SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS From Testing To End-Use Specifications Can Make Or Break Your Forging When it comes to material specifications, the best thing you can do is ask a lot of questions. What is the application? Are there drawings? Is testing needed? Will certifications be required? Forging Experts The title of the specification may not always be enough. It often helps to know the grade and the class within the specification that we must forge to. These details allow us to understand better the testing and heat treat requirements for your component to certify that your forging meets those requirements. Let us supplement your team to help forge and certify your components. Continue learning what else you need to know about your forging when requesting a quote in the links below. As a custom forge shop with experts in each industry, we hardly ever see two forgings that are the same. Just a few checklist items to consider when purchasing a forging are: Do you require heat treatment? What special testing do you need? Are you quoting as-forged, rough machined or finish machined? To what specifications do you need to certify? These are all great questions and really only scratch the surface of what you may need out of your forging. More often than not, if you're unfamiliar with the buying process or metal forming, this can be overwhelming. MECHANICAL & NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING HEAT TREATMENT REQUIREMENTS Hardness Conversion & Alloy Charts To help you find the approximate hardness of steel using Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers scales, we have put together a conversion chart.

  • Metallurgical FAQs | Scot Forge

    METALLURGY FAQs We Asked The Experts Ordering a forging is not always an easy task. In fact, what is a forging? How do you kill steel? Metal has different properties? We asked our experts to explain these questions and more to empower you and your team to effectively procure a forging. WHY FORGING? FORGE ENGINEERING & DESIGN CONSULTATION Forging & Other Processes What is a forging? How does it differ from a casting? What is "grain flow"? What are the benefits of a seamless hollow-core forging? What is the optimum reduction needed for a forging? Materials What does fully killed steel mean? What grades of steel cannot be heat treated to achieve properties? What effect does lowering the temper temperature have on common alloy grades of steel? General Metallurgy Where can I find a chart to convert Rockwell HRC to Brinell HB hardness? Q: What is a forging? How does it differ from a casting? A: A forging is metal that has been heated in order to soften it then pressed, hammered, or otherwise formed into a shape. All forgings begin as cast starting stock. Forgings benefit from the forming operation which enhances their overall toughness and fatigue resistance. Back to top Q: What is "grain flow"? I've heard "grain flow" mentioned on several occasions when discussing forgings. What exactly is "grain flow" and what does it do (or not do) for me? A: Forgings are produced using the open die forging process through the controlled application of compressive stresses while the metal is heated in the plastic regime. The metal, once subjected to the compressive stress, will flow in any unconstrained direction. The expanding metal will stretch the existing grains and, if the temperature is within the forging temperature region, will recrystallize and form new strain-free grains. This results in even better resistance to fatigue and stress corrosion than a forging that does not contour the component. Other contributors to grain flow are the expansion of microsegregated regions and/or inclusions in the direction of the metal flow. The effect of the elongated microsegregated regions and/or inclusions can be controlled through the use of high-quality material and due attention to the forging technique. Back to top Q: What are the benefits of a seamless hollow-core forging? What are the benefits, with respect to residual stresses, of a seamless hollow-core forging over rolled and welded plate that is subsequently processed (machining, heat treating, etc.)? A: In general, distortion of a component will occur when the stress states of either the individual components or the assembly as a whole shift from one state of equilibrium to a new equilibrium state. The presence of residual stresses in the components act as a source of potential energy similar in nature to a spring fixed in a compressed state. If the fixture holding the spring remains intact, the spring does not expand. However, once the fixture is removed, the spring expands until it reaches a new state of equilibrium—either another fixed point or a point where the potential energy of the spring is expended—and the spring is extended. So, too, will the potential energy in a component due to residual stress remain unchanged until the equilibrium state is altered—either through mechanical means (metal removal or cold/warm straightening, etc.) or thermal means (welding, heat treatment, etc.). Using this model, it is apparent that the key to minimizing distortion is to select a fabrication process that (1) uses input material with little or no residual stress and (2) will permit a subsequent processing path that introduces as little residual stress as possible. To form a plate into a cylinder, in most cases, it will require stretching the metal beyond its yield point to both hold the cylindrical shape and allow for the subsequent spring-back. If it is assumed that the starting plate is essentially free of residual stress due to processing at elevated temperatures (a large assumption, indeed), the equilibrium state of the plate is subsequently changed during rolling through the introduction of tensile and compressive stresses that shift the equilibrium state to that of a cylindrical shape (requiring a weld to hold it in place because of the tendency to spring back, in particular with materials having a high yield strength). Understanding the proportional relationship between stress and strain (elastic modulus), it can be intuitively understood that the stretching will spring back to a new state that now has residual stress present. In addition, the introduction of the longitudinal weldment to complete the cylindrical shape further disrupts the system through the introduction of thermal energy. The severity of the residual stress will increase with increases in either, or all, of the yield strength of the base metal, circumference of the tube and plate thickness. Once the desired shape is achieved, it will remain in that shape as long as no subsequent processing or service conditions that alters the stress state is performed (machining or welding, for example). When the part does distort, additional mechanical work is required to revive the desired shape, resulting in an often "circular" manufacturing path. These costs are often not considered when selecting a rolled and welded cylinder. 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. Back to top Q: What is the optimum reduction needed for forging? A: Forging reduction should be sufficient to consolidate the defects inherent to the casting process such as porosity and other voids while achieving a general wrought structure by breaking down the cast structure. A 3-to-1 reduction, using the open die process, is usually sufficient to achieve these results (with strict control of the process, less than 3-to-1 can be sufficient). Depending on the alloy and customer requirements, higher reduction may be necessary to achieve certain additional mechanical or physical requirements. Back to top Q: What does fully killed steel mean? I see that a specification required by my customer is that the steel shall be fully killed. What does that mean, and why would they need that? A: Killed steel is steel that has been treated with a strong deoxidizing agent during the melting process. The elements typically used are aluminum and/or silicon. Both have a strong tendency to form oxides which are floated out during the melting process, which reduces the overall oxygen content in the steel. If oxygen remains in the steel in large amounts, the steel is much more susceptible to defect formation during the forging process. The excess oxygen can also form oxide particles in conjunction with iron and manganese, which reduce the notch toughness and impact resistance of the steel. This can adversely affect the life of the finished part. Back to top Q: What grades of steel cannot be heat treated to achieve properties? A: Non-heat treatable grades of steel are those which cannot have their mechanical properties modified due to heat treating. They achieve their mechanical properties through a combination of chemistry selection and forging method. Back to top Q: What effect does lowering the temper temperature have on common alloy grades of steel? A: In general, tempering temperatures are inversely related to strength and hardness and directly related to ductility and toughness. Back to top Q: Where can I find a chart to convert Rockwell HRC to Brinell HB hardness? Can you direct me to an engineering materials resource that provides charts for steels that display Tensile/Yield Strength vs. hardness? A: We faced the very same question when compiling the data for one of our charts on our website. The hardness conversion among HB, HRC, HV and many others can be found in ASTM E140. We're sure you noticed, as did we, that the specification does not contain a conversion to an equivalent tensile strength. We therefore found the correlation in the ASM reference book as noted at the bottom of the chart. We are not aware of such a correlation for aluminum.

Many grades of carbon steel are hardenable through heat treatment that includes quenching and tempering steps; however, the super high strength of stainless steels cannot be achieved with carbon steel. Alloy Steel Adding alloying elements - Manganese, chromium, nickel and molybdenum are some of the elements used for increased strength, toughness and wear resistance compared to carbon steel. Other desirable characteristics such as corrosion resistance, strength at elevated temperature and creep resistance are also achieved through alloying element additions. Tool Steel Major alloying elements in tool steel are chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten. These carbide formers allow tool steel to resist deformation and maintain a sharp cutting edge at high temperatures.

  • Sustainability Initiatives | Scot Forge

    Our commitment to the sustainability of our environment will serve generations of employee-owners to come. Sustainable Forgings OUR CULTURE Responsible Manufacturing - Stewards Of The Environment The state of the environment is the ultimate, global employee-ownership program. Our responsibility is to leave it better than we found it and preserving our world for future generations has been top-of-mind for Scot Forge for many years. As employee-owners of this planet, we have to leave the environment better than we found it. These are some of the ways we do today, and in the spirit of continuous improvement, we will In 2019, we purchased 175,557,236 lbs. of steel, all of which came from recycled steel and alloys. Additionally, in one form or another, we recycle any steel not sold to our customers. As a result, roughly 61.8 million lbs. of unused product, or scrap, were recycled this past year: from the scale formed during forging to the leftover material or turnings from the machining process. Furthermore, we recycle other consumables from our shop such as used or damaged machine inserts, saw blades, electronics, batteries, gloves, paper and other office materials. At Scot Forge, continuous improvement is key, so our teams are consistently looking for ways to make our assets more efficient. Here are just three examples. We designed our 16,500-ton press to have three times the tonnage of our 5,500-ton press while using less average power through our energy-saving tactics. We converted old air compressors to far more efficient compressors in our Franklin Park plant and changed the hammers from steam to compressed air. We have converted our presses to hydraulics to achieve minimal heat creation and energy use during production. To reduce our carbon footprint even further, we have converted lighting in our plants to LED light fixtures and have installed motion detection to conserve electricity. With an average house in the US using 10,972 kWh per year, the annual energy savings from moving our lighting to LED is more than the amount of power used by 450+ homes per year. We try to achieve energy savings wherever possible. Part of this initiative includes optimizing our forge furnaces through batching our parts to reduce the number of cycles we need to run, and by firing our burners in pairs. Our systems allow the burners to switch roles, which provides for systematic heat storage. The burner preheats the air used for combustion and saves approximately 43% of the natural gas-operated with a traditional combustion system. To heat up a typical 150-ton load, we save more than 150 MMBtu (million Btu). This savings is equivalent to the furnace running in more than 60 houses continuously for 24 hours. Finally, the foundations of our assets are built with a zero-leak structure to ensure we have no spillage into the ground that could potentially contaminate the groundwater. And, the water we use at our Spring Grove plant for various processes is recycled and returned to Nippersink Creek from which it came. The creek sees frequent recreational use. We take it upon ourselves to ensure the water we put into it is of the highest quality through a retention pond system to guarantee our water is cleaned before entering the Nippersink. This system comprises three different ponds, each of which allows the water to flow through filters that clean out any substances in the water. We can help you today!
