  • Open Die Forging Advantages | Scot Forge

    Advantages Of Open Die Forging Process What Is Open Die Forging? Open die forging involves the shaping of heated metal parts between a top die attached to a ram and a bottom die attached to a hammer, anvil or bolster. Metal parts are worked at their appropriate temperatures, ranging from 500°F to 2400°F, and gradually shaped into the desired configuration through the skillful hammering or pressing of the workpiece. Difference between open die forging and closed die forging While impression or closed die forging confines the metal in dies, open die forging is distinguished by the fact that the metal is never completely confined or restrained in the dies. Most open die forgings are produced on flat dies. However, round swaging dies, V-dies, mandrels, pins and loose tools are also used depending on the desired part configuration and its size. Although the open die forging process is often associated with larger, simpler-shaped parts such as bars, blanks, rings, hollows or spindles, in fact it can be considered the ultimate option in "custom-designed" metal components. High-strength, long-life parts optimized in terms of both mechanical properties and structural integrity are today produced in sizes that range from a few pounds to hundreds of tons in weight. In addition, advanced forge shops now offer shapes that were never before thought capable of being produced by the open die forging process. spindle-shaped part open die forging process: 1. Starting stock cut to size by weight is first rounded, then upset to achieve structural integrity and directional grain flow. 2. A "fuller" tool marks the starting "step" locations on the fully rounded workpiece. 3. Forging or "drawing" down the first step to size. The second step is drawn down to size. 4. Note how the part elongates with each process step as the material is being displaced. 5. "Planishing" the rough forging for a smoother surface finish and to keep stock allowance to a minimum.

  • Our History | Scot Forge

    Starting as a Chicago small forge shop in 1893, today Scot Forge can forge parts weighing up to 300,000 lbs. and roll seamless rings up to 252 in diameter. Scot Forge History From Humble Beginnings Scot Forge started from humble beginnings with four brothers, looking for a better future, who traveled from the Shetland Islands in Scotland to America. They found their success in the steel industry and opened a small, six-man hammer forge shop in Chicago in 1893, under the name A. Kropp Forge. The Chicago area was booming in the 1890s, but by mid-decade a financial panic overtook the nation and in 1914, the company was bought by a group of Ryerson employees and renamed Kruse Forgings. Then, two years later, the name was changed to Atlas Forge partly as a marketing endeavor so the company would be first in the phonebook - listing are alphabetical – and by 1919, Atlas Forge moved to Cicero, Illinois. More than 60 years later a new greenfield manufacturing plant was built in Clinton, Wisconsin. This unusual plant location was due to the Cicero plant growth being hindered by a stationary noise law in Illinois. At this point, in 1977, the company name would change again to Scot Forge and a Scottish highlander became part of the corporate logo. Along with the new name came a unique sales promotional tool – the wearing of tartan apparel by the personnel. Continued growth created a need for a third manufacturing plant to be built in Spring Grove, Illinois, which became the permanent headquarters for Scot Forge. Additionally, in 1978 the owning family decided to sell the company to the Scot Forge employees starting the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The company continued to grow from 1985 to 1997. The Cicero plant moved to Franklin Park, Illinois, and Scot Forge formed two partnerships that turned into join ventures – Ringmasters and North American Forgemasters (NAF). Today, Scot Forge operates with more than 1.3 million sq.ft. of manufacturing space between the five plants and we ship more than 250 million lbs. of forgings annually. We are proud to be a 100% employee-owned manufacturer of custom, open die forgings and seamless rolled rings. In 1893, The A. Kropp Forge Company was little more than a blacksmith shop, where workers performed all tasks by hand. The Chicago area was booming in the 1890s, but by mid-decade a financial panic overtook the nation. Business did not recover until the outbreak of World War II. Demand continued after the war and into the Korean War in the early 1950s. This photo shows one of the large hammers placed into service. Prior to the use of modern, mobile manipulators and hydraulic presses, forging work was done by hand, with spider-like manual manipulating tools. This picture taken of Scot Forge employees in the Cicero Plant, shows that workers had to be strong, hardy and filled with stamina to handle the demands of the physical labor. The addition of this 8,000 lb. hammer with the innovative rotator allowed Scot Forge to enter the forged round bar market with the steel service centers. Plant and office staff pose for this 1948 photo. A. Kropp and Company had been incorporated as the Kruse Forgings company in 1914 and the name was changed to Atlas Forging Company in 1916. It wouldn't be known as Scot Forge Company until 1978, coinciding with the institution of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Why Plaid? Well, as it turns out, Pete “Spike” Georgeson ordered one tartan jacket to help him get noticed at a luncheon… and it worked! So well in fact, that he decided he needed to order a couple more jackets, so he asked for a swatch of every tartan to decide what to order. Somewhere along the line, the tailor thought he said one jacket in every tartan. Rather than returning all of the jackets Pete decided to give them to his sales team and the rest is history.

  • 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 .
