  • 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.

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.

Improving Lead Times Lowering Part Costs Reducing Marking Costs Product specification type Thermal Treatment Previous problems Past practices on a customer part called for normalizing, quenching and double tempering. These practices ran up costs and production times. Previous requirements on a customer application called for meeting both a minimum tempering temperature and a hardness range on certain parts. This often resulted in a requenching operation, which lengthened lead times. Modified solution By eliminating the normalizing and second tempering operations which were unnecessary, the customer saved over 7¢ per pound, as well as one to two weeks' lead time. Through temperature modification, not only was Scot Forge able to meet the specification the first time, but also shorten the lead time. Product specification type Material Grade PREVIOUS PROBLEMS A customer was looking for cost reduction assistance with a gear application which needed to meet Brinell requirements and was formerly specified as 4340 material. The customer was previously specifying Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) material for a pinion shaft. Lead times were unacceptably long, and the material costs were extremely high. MODIFIED SOLUTION The substitution of 4150 for 4340 lowered part costs by 10%, while still meeting minimum Brinell requirements. By switching from VAR material to air melt, lead times were reduced by months, and base material costs were reduced by over 45% without sacrificing product quality. Product specification type Marking/Stamping Previous problems Previous requirements on a customer application called for meeting both a minimum tempering temperature and a hardness range on certain parts. This often resulted in a requenching operation, which lengthened lead times. Modified solution Now a simple purchase order and heat number identify each part, saving time and excess marking costs.

  • 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!

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 .

FORGED PRODUCTS FORGE CONSULTATION SERVICES FORGED PRODUCTS FORGE CONSULTATION SERVICES Closed-Die Alternative Case study Hybrid Forging Compared To Castings & Fabrications Forging delivers significant economic, manufacturing and quality advantages, such as directional strength, structural strength and impact strength compared to alternative metalworking processes. Directional Strength Forging produces predictable and uniform grain size and flow characteristics by mechanically deforming the heated metal under tightly controlled conditions. Forging stock is also typically pre-worked to refine the dendritic structure of the ingot and remove porosity. These qualities translate into superior metallurgical and mechanical qualities and deliver increased directional toughness in the final part. Structural Strength Forging also provides a degree of structural integrity unmatched by other metalworking processes. Forging eliminates internal voids and gas pockets that can weaken metal parts. By dispersing segregation of alloys or non-metallic, forging provides superior chemical uniformity. Simulation & Modeling Reduce Risk, Time & Costs Collaborating closely with customers, the team runs sophisticated simulation and modeling software to tailor a forging process that optimizes time/cost savings. This software also allows for process validation prior to actual manufacturing, reducing risk and ensuring the success of each project.

  • A.O.F.F.P Forging Economic Advantages | Scot Forge

    Forging Economic Advantages Near-Net Shape Saves You Time & Money Unmatched knowledge equals unmatched forgings. Every member of our sales team receives rigorous training on forging and forging capabilities. Some have first-hand experience in the shop, which, coupled with our product and forge engineers' expertise, allows Scot Forge to create forgings that save you material costs and machining hours. Cost reduction 1. MATERIAL SAVINGS Forging can measurably reduce material costs since it requires less starting metal to produce many part shapes. For example, with a torch cut part (A), all corner stock and the full center slug are lost, even though you pay for the excess material. With a forging (B), the part is shaped to size with minimal waste. 2. MACHINING ECONOMIES Forging can also yield machining, lead time and tool life advantages. Savings come from forging to a closer-to-finish size than is capable by alternative metal sources such as plate or bar. Less machining is therefore needed to finish the part, with the added benefits of shorter lead time and reduced wear and tear on equipment. 3. REDUCED REJECTION RATES By providing weld-free parts produced with cleaner, forging-quality material and yielding improved structural integrity, forging can virtually eliminate rejections. 4. PRODUCTION EFFECIENCIES Using the forging process, the same part can be produced from many different sizes of starting ingots or billets, allowing for a wider variety of inventoried grades. This flexibility means that forged parts of virtually any grade can be manufactured more quickly and economically.
