- ABS Certified Forging Facility | Scot Forge
Working in the marine and offshore industries or supplying products for marine applications often requires ABS certification. Learn more about the ABS requirement flow down through the supply chain of a component and how to minimize you risks and costs. American Bureau of Shipping: ABS Certified Forging Facility Forgings For ABS: Cost & Risk Minimization Working in the marine and offshore industries or supplying products for marine applications often requires ABS certification. Understanding where in the manufacturing or construction process the certification is required and working with your suppliers can help you minimize costs and production delays while ensuring that your products obtain the certifications needed. ABS certification costs time and money. Certification inspectors are on-site at your facility during manufacturing, construction, or fabrication to verify that your processes meet the standards - and you pay for the time they are on-site. So, it’s important that you understand the Rule requirements for your product to identify the stages in your supply chain where inspection and certification should occur. By doing so, you’ll save your company time and money, and minimize the risk of your products not being certified. Some simple steps can provide you with cost and time savings. SHIPBUILDING FORGINGS ABS & MARINE FORGING ADVISEMENT The Scot Forge Advantage At Scot Forge, we are uniquely qualified to provide you with ABS-certified products and materials.

Maritime Forgings: Joe's Success Story Forging a quicker solution to expedite ship repairs and avoid costly dry dock time Improved the efficiency of production Reduced the costs of certifying products Delivered on time to avoid excess dry dock time WHAT IS ABS? The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) was chartered in 1862 to certify ship captains. Since then, it has been involved in developing and setting safety and quality standards for ships and offshore structures. ABS standards are recognized globally and are used to ensure that the materials, parts and components, and construction of vessels and marine equipment meet established safety standards. ABS works with the marine industry worldwide as they develop new technologies for constructing marine vessels and offshore structures, revising and updating its certifications to meet the changing industry needs. The Rules and Grades established by ABS for certification are written to provide standards for the design, construction, and periodic survey of marine vessels and offshore structures to promote their safe design and assembly. Materials, parts, and components used in the manufacture of marine vessels and structures must meet the set standards for the vessel or structure in which they will be used. Certifications are specified by the Rules, such as Steel Vessel Rules part 2-3-7/1, or MODU (mobile offshore drilling unit) Rules, or the material grade, such as Grade 2, or Grade 4C. The end use of the component determines the inspections and certifications required, as well as any requirements for inspections during manufacturing: Certain components used in the construction of the vessel or structure must be certified Some of those components must be certified (inspected) as they are being constructed or fabricated to verify that the construction meets ABS standards Some materials must be certified during manufacturing; this will minimize the need for additional certification during construction or fabrication Information about ABS certifications can be found at www.eagle.org .

- PNUEMATIC FORGING HAMMERS
4b5ede0a-1d0d-4925-a988-02229f8f9ec1 PNUEMATIC FORGING HAMMERS What Is A Pneumatic Forging Hammer? With more than 10,000 tools the hammers at Scot Forge can create small to medium size forgings quickly and cost-effectively, saving you time and money on manufacturing tools to forge your components. Pneumatic hammers consist of a frame, an anvil and a reciprocating ram holding a hammerhead or die. The billet is placed on the lower anvil or die, and the head or upper die strikes the workpiece until the desired shape is achieved. Tools are used to create shaped pieces like hubs or rings. A typical pneumatic hammer works by storing potential energy in an arrangement of mechanical linkages and springs, in compressed air, or steam, which it will use to manipulate a billet. The stored potential energy provides a more forceful stroke than merely allowing the weight to fall. Take a look at our hammers in action! In Franklin Park, IL, we forge both ferrous and non-ferrous forgings are produced on six open die pneumatic forging hammers in part weights from 1 lb. to 3,000 lbs. and in quantities as low as a single piece. Lower Costs & Lead Times Torch cutting to near-net shape saves material and machining costs, and by combining torch cutting with the forging operation, you also get the integrity of forging without the cost and long lead time often associated with other metal working processes. Torch Process Highlights Our torches can cut through carbon and alloy forgings with pre and post-heating operations that minimize thermal shock and protect forging integrity.

- Quoting Testing | Scot Forge
Mechanical & Nondestructive Testing SCOT FORGE TESTING CAPABILITIES Ensuring Forgings Meets Order & Specification Requirements Nondestructive testing processes are examinations that don't destroy the part nor compromise its soundness, making it a cost-effective testing option for forgings. From time-to-time, however, more information is needed, requiring destructive testing. These tests do destroy a piece of the forging but provide more data and yield details that are easier to interpret. FORGING EXPERTS Let us supplement your team and help you determine what the best way to go about testing your forging. Our technically trained sales team can help you find ways to incorporate your test pieces into the original forging saving you material costs.

- A.O.F.F.P Rolled Ring Forging | Scot Forge
Seamless Rolled Ring Forging Process Forging Efficient Seamless Rolled Rings The production of seamless forged rings is often performed by a process called ring rolling on rolling mills. These mills vary in size to produce forged rings with outside diameters of just a few inches to over 300 inches and in weights from a single pound up to over 300,000 pounds. What is Rolled Ring Forging? The ring rolling process starts with a circular preform of metal that has been previously upset and pierced (using the open die forging process ) to form a hollow “doughnut.” This doughnut is heated above the recrystallization temperature and placed over the idler or mandrel roll. This idler roll then moves under pressure toward a drive roll that continuously rotates to reduce the wall thickness, thereby increasing the diameters (I.D. and O.D.) of the resulting ring. Seamless rolled rings can be produced in configurations ranging from flat, washer-like parts to tall, cylindrical shapes, with heights ranging from less than an inch to more than 9 feet. Wall thickness to height ratios of rings typically range from 1:16 up to 16:1, although greater proportions can be achieved with special processing. The simplest and most commonly used shape is a rectangular cross-section ring, but shaped tooling can be used to produce seamless rolled rings in complex, custom shapes with contours on the inside and/or outside diameters. Producing a ring "preform" by the open die forging process: 1. STARTING STOCK FIRST ROUNDED, THEN UPSET Starting stock cut to size by weight is first rounded, then upset to achieve structural integrity and directional grain flow. 2. WORKPIECE IS PUNCHED, THEN PIERCED Workpiece is punched, then pierced to achieve starting “doughnut” shape needed for ring rolling process. 3. READY FOR PLACEMENT ON RING MILL FOR ROLLING Completed preform is ready for placement on ring mill for rolling. Rolled ring forging process: 4. RING ROLLING PROCESS BEGINS WITH THE IDLER ROLL Ring rolling process begins with the idler roll applying pressure to the preform against the drive roll. 5. RING DIAMETERS ARE INCREASED Ring diameters are increased as the continuous pressure reduces the wall thickness. The axial rolls control the height of the ring as it is being rolled. 6. DESIRED SIZE IS ACHIEVED The process continues until the desired size is achieved. Scot Forge Difference At Scot Forge, we know the importance of getting your parts on-time, as expected.
