Comparison of processes involved in conventional quenched-tempered steels and in directly air-cooled MA-steels [1]. At high temperatures, the ductility is excellent and the flow stress is 10-20% of the room-temperature yield strength (Figure 3). Co-author Dr. Chet Van Tyne is FIERF Professor, Department of Metallurgical Engineering, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colo. Hot Forging – This is the most common process for steels. While looking at hot forging the important aspect that comes to notice is that the bar is reheated, typically in an induction furnace, to a temperature of ~1200°C, and then taken through the forging press. Alloy Steel is steel that is alloyed with a variety of elements in total amounts between 1.0% and 50% by weight to improve its mechanical properties.Alloy steels are broken down into two groups: low-alloy steels and high-alloy steels.. High-Alloy Steel. Conventional tubes with a thin or medium thick wall are produced according to the following steps. Inhomogeneous plastic flow affects residual stress patterns, elastic springback, and the possibility of opening up crack-like defects on exit from forming operations, during subsequent processing, or in service. Stainless Steel & High-Temperature Alloy Materials Stainless steels contain a minimum of 10.5% chromium by mass. A macro-etched cross-section of one segment is shown in Fig. The initial, Forging of metals and alloys for biomedical applications, Archives of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Journal of Materials Processing Technology. Inter-relation between endurance limit (σw) and tensile strength (TS) for microalloyed steels and carbon steels [1]. Furthermore, the calculation of the workpiece temperature field is the basis for the design of a heat treatment out of the forging heat. During most cold-forming processes, lubricants are applied to the workpiece in the form of a coating. The tooling for warm forming is generally more expensive because it is designed to withstand much higher stress levels. Copyright ©2021. Schematic of a closed-die forging shape and test specimens for property evaluations in high-strength aluminum alloys (Wanhill, 1994); approximate forging size L=355 mm, B=215 mm, H=125 mm. An example used for several high-strength 7XXX forgings in the 1970s and 1980s is schematically illustrated in Figure 7.9, showing the variety of properties that may be evaluated (Wanhill, 1994). This chapter would therefore focus primarily on the hot forging of steels. As annealing steps are necessary to reduce the section, leftover lubricant traces can become intergranular corrosion. In general, most wrought implant materials such as alloys of titanium (Ti) and nickel (Ni) are forged in the range of 925 to 1260 °C. Variation in blank mass causes thickness variation. 14.22 shows an as-forged and a machined prototype weld neck flange produced at Maass Flange Corporation, Houston, Texas, from a 102-kg, 375-mm-long billet cut from 200-mm-diameter bar of 740H. ASTM A350 LF2 Flange for Low Temperature ASTM A350 (ASME SA350) is the standard specification for carbon steel and low alloy steel forged flanges and flanged fittings for low temperature services. In the production of near-net shape forging parts, the surface-to-volume ratio is higher than for conventional forgings. With the exception of the machinable grades, the behavior of steel during forging is excellent. The next article in this series will continue the discussion about plain-carbon and low-alloy steels. The process can be classified as hot die forging when the temperature of the die is closer to the forging temperature and isothermal forging when the die is maintained at the same temperature as that of work-piece. Warm forging of steel: Forging temperatures are still above the recrystallization temperature: between 750°C and 950°C. With excellent strength, toughness, stiffness and fatigue resistance at a reasonable cost, steel is the dominant material in transportation. These results might be considered discouraging since the ductility would be expected to be highest in the longitudinal direction. Hardness and strength are normally controlled by the steel composition selected and the heat treatments. and fatigue strength. Additionally, with the concern for a reduced carbon footprint, the weight needs to be reduced without sacrificing any of the properties mentioned. Warm forging can also produce better microstructures so that the forged component may not require subsequent heat treatment. In order to obtain a well-designed high quality product through hot forging, it is important to predict material properties of the product. Forged components such as camshafts, pinions, gears, and rocker arms can develop a range of properties based on a variety of microstructures acquired through heat treatment.

Steel is an iron-based alloy with small additions of carbon and other elements that impart improvements in various properties. Conventional tubing process (Forecreu, France). Hot material in contact with the die too long will cause excessive wear, softening and breakage. The initial temperature before forging is 1200 °C; the temperature distribution of the gear shows a maximum temperature of 1210 °C in the center of the gear and a strong cooling in the teeth of about 400 °C (Figure 13). Excellent crack-free surface and corner fill was obtained. The different phases indicate differences in crystal structure. It is known that bars of the common forging grades of steel (e.g., 37 C 15; 40 Cr3 B and so on), when heated to ~1200°C, would show large austenite grain size and that the transformation products from such austenite would show low ductility. The typical production rates are very low in order to permit proper die filling at the low forging pressures. They are made to specified dimensions, or to dimensional standards, such as the ASME and API Specifications referenced in Section 2. Typical temperature ranges for the forging of steel and use of steel forgings, Figure 3. Scanning electron micrograph of a 4140 quenched-and-tempered steel. At the press, it may go through a multistage forging before being subjected to trimming. Cold forming is virtually always performed at room temperature because the benefits from heating a few hundred degrees are negligible, and the costs of heating are significant. The heat treatment, primarily quenching and tempering (Q+T), consumes considerable energy (and hence is expensive) and adversely affects productivity. With better road conditions, the demand for higher speed of automotive is constantly growing and with enhanced speed, the torque for transmission also increases, putting greater demand on many of the above properties. The preheating of steel billets for hot and warm forging is most commonly performed in gas (or other) furnaces for large parts, small quantities, upsetting, open die and job-shop-type operations. Conventionally, Ti and its alloys are hot forged as isothermal forging of these alloys requires special tooling materials, such as nickel-based super alloys and molybdenum alloys for dies, and lubricants that can perform adequately at these temperatures. Steels with higher carbon content or alloying elements have lower maximum allowable forging temperatures due to their lower melting temperature. The PRO-FAST Program is enabled by the dedicated team of professionals representing both the Department of Defense and industry. In terms of the volume of industrial forgings, hot forging is the preferred process since a wide range of steels and components are amenable to this route. Steel forgings are regularly specified where strength, resistance to shock and fatigue, reliability, and economy are vital considerations. Copper and nickel alloys can generally all be used at these temperatures. Small fittings such as flanges, nozzles, saddles, and weldolets are required for power plant construction. Carbon, microalloy and alloy steel forgings account for the greatest volume of forgings for a very wide range of applications. Steels are a very forgeable class of materials that are often chosen by forging customers. Table 14.6. It is not uncommon for a shop to forge product on tooling that is preheated to less than 300°F when forging a workpiece at 2350°F. Forging refers to a process that involves forming a metal using localized compressive forces, and it can be further divided into cold forging, warm forging, or hot forging based on temperature at which it is performed. It is the metal that has the highest strength per unit cost. John Walters, a frequent contributor to FORGE, is vice president of Scientific Forming Technologies Corporation, Columbus, Ohio. A somewhat lower forging temperature would be required to produce an average grain size of 2–3 that would provide the best balance of creep strength and impact toughness. *After hot working, the ASTM A182 low alloy steel forings shall be cooled to a temperature below 1000°F [538°C] prior to heat treatment. In the USA, there are patents to show the development of microalloyed medium carbon steels that can be used in forgings without heat treatment [5]. INCONEL® 601. However, the authors remained optimistic. The lower the finishing temperature from forging, the finer will be the grain size. This is basically possible only with very low carbon steels [4]. These steels require a temperature between 2200° F and 2300° F for hand forging, but it should be noted that the maximum workable temperature generally decreases with greater carbon content. Warm forging reduces energy costs for heating as well as the amount of scale and thermal contraction that occurs during post-process cooling. For webinar sponsorship information, visit www.bnpevents.com/webinars or email webinars@bnpmedia.com. Typical grain structures are shown in Figures 4 and 5. Figure 2 shows the range of temperatures in which steel is typically forged and components used. The primary advantages are closer forging tolerances, resulting in reduced machining and material costs, a reduction in the number of pre-forming and blocking operations, resulting in reduced processing and tooling costs, and the use of slow ram speeds, resulting in lower forging pressures and the use of smaller machines. AISI/SAE 4130 grade is a versatile alloy with good atmospheric corrosion resistance and reasonable strength. In the early 1970s, the use of medium carbon microalloyed steels for air-cooled hot forgings started in Europe, as well as the USA, in order to avoid quenching and tempering heat treatment and the concurrent problems. The forging process creates components that have superior properties relative to those created by other manufacturing operations, such as casting and machining. In the next article on steel’s metallurgical issues, post-forging operations and typical physical properties of various forged materials will be discussed. While forged steel generally has superior fatigue and toughness properties, it must be noted that forging has only minor effects on the final hardness and strength of the component. Included are anges, ttings, valves, and similar parts to speci ed The scale-loss is lower at the work-piece surface and the tolerance is narrower compared to hot forging. The majority of hot-forged steel forgings are made using plain carbon or low alloy steels with a carbon content selected to yield an acceptable combination of strength, toughness, and forgeability. CanForge supplies forged products in the following types of nickel alloy: INCONEL® 600. Hot forging is conducted in the austenite phase field, and cold forging is done in the ferrite phase field. A.G. Atkins, in Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology, 2001. Key team members include: R&D Enterprise Team (DLA J339), Logistics Research and Development Branch (DLS-DSCP) and the Forging Industry Association (FIA). Again, in the broad area of hot forging, the present chapter will be concentrating on closed-die forging (rather than on drop forging) which is used for producing finished products with close dimensional tolerance. A high-temperature metal. Tensile properties shown in Table 14.6 meet ASME code requirements. A needle inserted from the ram to the nose of the billet creates a tube hollow as the material flows between the needle and the die. The system is applied to a hot forging process of ferritic stainless steel SUS430F, and the results show good agreements with experimental results. Behrens, ... D. Odening, in Comprehensive Materials Processing, 2014. Warm forged parts are most common in high-volume mechanical-press applications, such as those used in automotive drivetrain components. Difference Between Low-Alloy Steel & High-Alloy Steel. One experiences limited formability and higher forming forces than in hot forging, but lower forming forces than in cold forming. Similar center-cavities are found in cross-rolling, helical rolling, and cross-wedge rolling and are used in rotary piercing, and the start up of seamless tube production by the Mannesmann process. ASTM A105 carbon steel can be forged at temperatures in the range of 2200 to 1700 F followed by quenching and tempering or normalizing. Several approaches have been employed; one attractive strategy is to use a chemistry that makes the resulting strength properties independent of cooling rates. J.J. deBarbadillo, in Materials for Ultra-Supercritical and Advanced Ultra-Supercritical Power Plants, 2017. A good account of these developments has been given by Hulka et al. A carbon content below 0.1 wt.% is found to be safe and easy to weld. Tool (die) temperatures are rarely critical in the production of a steel forging. Resistance heating is possible but fairly rare. Heavy tanks contain more than 550 separate forgings; armored personnel carriers employ more than 250. It shows good overall combinations of strength, toughness. (a) Macro-etched cross-section, (b) ASTM grain size, (c) Rockwell C hardness. It is common to see an operator using high-pressure air to break scale off of large forgings during the process. Forging Stainless and High Alloy Tool Steels At hot forging temperatures, the strain rate or speed influences how resistant the steel is to deformation. Optimized Cooling Rates of Microalloyed Steels (Part I), Grain Flow in Forgings VI – Preforms and Open-Die Forging, Grain Flow in Forgings V – Modifying Grain Flow and Use of Simulation, Grain Flow in Forgings IV – Various Processes and Influence of Machining, Grain Flow in Forgings III – Effects of Forging on Grain Flow, Forging Materials: Plain-Carbon and Low-Alloy Steels (Part II), Forging Materials: Microalloyed Forging Steels. A billet (Fig. Warm Forging – This typically occurs in the 1500-1800°F temperature range and is used to shape many different steel grades. A straightening operation followed by stress relieving annealing is therefore required to minimize the tensile residual stresses. This alloy should ideally not be forged below 1650 º F (900 º C) and should be slow cooled after forging. The forging temperature that can be used primarily depends on the steel’s carbon content. Table 2. Pipelines, railroads, agricultural equipment, ships and landing gear for aircraft are produced from steel. Residual stresses can be significant. High strength forgings conventionally contain carbon levels of about 0.2–0.5 weight percent, which allows forgings to be heat treated to the required strength following the forging operation. Swift, J.D. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon containing less than 2% carbon and 1% manganese and small amounts of silicon, phosphorus, sulphur and oxygen. Wheel spindles, kingpins, axle beams and shafts, torsion bars, ball studs, idler arms, pitman arms, steering arms, and linkages for passenger cars, buses, and trucks exemplify applications requiring extreme conditions of strength and toughness. They are also specified when specific properties such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, heat resistance and special low temperature impact properties are required. Check out the December 2020 issue of FORGE, featuring "Automated Bin-Picking Basics: Some Mistakes to Avoid", "Making the Best of COVID-19", and much more. Cars and trucks may contain more than 250 forgings, most of which are produced from carbon or alloy steel. The strain/pass (1), strain rate (10 s−1), interpass time (1 s), and temperature range (1200–900 °C) are comparable to hot-rolling operations, but because of their relatively complex shapes, the strain varies widely across the section of forged components. The most common lubricant is graphite. The controlling parameters invariably are of two sorts, (i) material-dependent (e.g., metallurgical “cleanliness,” segregation, prior heat treatment, annealing/normalizing cycles, grain size, texture, and anisotropy) and (ii) process-dependent (e.g., geometry of deformation, tool and die design, interface friction, rate of deformation, and temperature). The actual hot forging temperatures in closed die forging process will be decided by a number of factors, such as complexity of the forged part. This article is featured in FORGE's 10th Anniversary: 10-Top Forging Industry Articles. Open literature information on Al–Li alloy forgings is mostly limited to results for simple shapes of the second-generation AA 8090 and AA 8091 alloys (Lewis et al., 1987; Pitcher, 1988a,b; Terlinde et al., 1992). Figure 1. Some alloy steels are formulated for special treatments such as carburizing or carbo-nitriding. The results for the second-generation alloys were discouraging, since the forgings had low short-transverse fracture toughness and ductility. One of the first nickel alloys; this type of nickel alloy forging combines nickel, chromium, and iron into a high strength product. Another property that was not considered as critical earlier in the forging industry, but is increasingly being taken into consideration in modern designs, is weldability. The cooler areas closer to the die surfaces undergo less plastic flow than in the hotter core areas, so that plastic flow is not uniform. Forged materials also offer the desired degree of high or low temperature performance, ductility, hardness, and machinability. Used at temperatures up to 1800 F under low stress and to 1250 F under high-stress. Higher quantities of small- to medium-diameter forging stock (less than 10 inches) are frequently heated in horizontal induction units to provide fast heat-up time, improved process control and significantly less scale. Fig. If only a few parts are needed, they can be machined from forged bar, but for commercial production, they would be more economically be made by forging. Steel is among the most useful of metals. Sulfur-containing steels are more difficult to forge. Forged steel components are found in numerous applications ranging from aerospace products to automotive products, off-road vehicles, hand tools, etc. 13.2, at the same tensile strength level, control rolled microalloyed (MA) steels demonstrate higher fatigue resistance. He may be reached at 614-451-8330 or jwalters@deform.com. Any of these may be convenient for forging simple shapes. Die chilling can also be reduced or eliminated by heating the dies nearer to the actual forging temperature or maintaining the die at the same temperature as that of the work-piece. F. Ory, J.L. Charpy V-notch impact toughness at these locations was very high. There are several reasons for this: (i) high ductility, (ii) low, Lewis et al., 1987; Pitcher, 1988a,b; Terlinde et al., 1992, Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology, There is a great deal of practical knowledge about how to avoid defect formation, such as correct, AN ANALYTICAL PREDICTION OF MATERIAL PROPERTY FOR HOT FORMING PROCESS, Advances in Engineering Plasticity and its Applications, Materials for Ultra-Supercritical and Advanced Ultra-Supercritical Power Plants, shows an as-forged and a machined prototype weld neck flange produced at Maass Flange Corporation, Houston, Texas, from a 102-kg, 375-mm-long billet cut from 200-mm-diameter bar of 740H. These are mainly quenched and tempered low alloy steels. Design, CMS, Hosting & Web Development :: ePublishing, This website stores data such as cookies to enable important site functionality including analytics, targeting, and personalization. This specification covers forged low alloy and stainless steel piping components for use in pressure systems. Figure 3 illustrates this point for hot forgings. It can be recycled over and over again without loss of property. Formability of a material concerns whether it is possible, given adequate machine capacity, to perform a given metal forming operation successfully without introducing defects. One other challenge has been bringing in a reasonable uniformity in strength properties at various depths of a large forging that would cool at varying rates. Special attention to the surrounding atmosphere is also important, such as the use of an inert gas or vacuum to protect both the dies and the work-piece from oxidation. Another residual metallic element that is increasing in content with the greater production of steel from scrap is copper. Specification for Alloy Steel Forgings for Pressure and High-Temperature Parts A350 A350/A350M-99 Specification for Carbon and Low-Alloy Steel Forgings, Requiring Notch Toughness Testing for Piping Components A369 A369/A369M-92 Specification for Carbon and Ferritic Alloy Steel Forged and Bored Pipe for High-Temperature Service A372 As this leads to a strong cooling in the thin-walled component regions, the temperature distribution has to be already taken into account in the design phase. This microstructure, however, leads to lowering of toughness and these steels suffer from poor weldability; therefore the use of such forgings was restricted to less critical components. The majority of hot-forged steel forgings are made using plain carbon or low alloy steels with a carbon content selected to yield an acceptable combination of strength, toughness, and forgeability. The schematic of both Q+T treated and air-cooled MA forgings are shown in Fig. 4. Die wear and mismatch may be significant. This is how cutting by pliers takes place and explains why, in other cases, nonuniform flow fields are dangerous for void and crack formation. It can be readily manufactured to flanges, fittings, valves, and other piping components in accordance with dimensional standards such as MSS, ASME, API, EN/BS, DIN, NOSOK specifications, etc. The limitations are the surface geometry from the sinking process and the potential risk of capturing lubricant with the carbide plug or hard-mandrel process. Steel changes color according to the temperature to which it is heated. The system is constructed with a material property prediction system, a phase transformation prediction system, a flow stress prediction system, and numerical analysis of the heat transfer FEM and the rigid plastic FEM. There are several reasons for this: (i) high ductility, (ii) low forging temperatures, typically 350–450°C for high-strength aerospace alloys, (iii) low forging pressures, and (iv) no scale development, so preheating furnace atmospheres are not important provided the furnace is initially dry (this prevents hydrogen pickup and blistering). On the other hand, a combination of C>0.15% with C.E.>0.6 is considered difficult to weld, is vulnerable to cracking, and requires preweld and/or postweld treatments. The parts were made by upsetting on a hydraulic press and then hammer forging the web in three sessions, and finally punching out the center. This process becomes difficult as the ID gets smaller and the wall thicker. They are made to specified dimensions, or to dimensional standards, such as the ASME and API Specifications referenced in … Alloy Steel Forgings for Pressure and High-Temperature Parts /45/ A 350/A 350M: 2007: Carbon and Low-Alloy Steel Forgings, Requiring Notch Toughness Testing for Piping Components /13/ A 369/A 369M: 2006: Carbon and Ferritic Alloy Steel Forged and Bored Pipe for High-Temperature Service /15/ A 372/A 372M: 2008 The V-anvil was introduced as early as 1839 to combat the tendency for crack formation in the center of billets when rounds are forged with flat dies. The initial forging temperature was 1176°C with a finishing temperature of 1190°C to fill the corners. If the temperature of the steel is too high, then “burning,” or incipient grain boundary melting, of the steel can occur. Fraysse, in Titanium in Medical and Dental Applications, 2018. Cold Forging – Steels can also be cold forged at temperatures below 500°F. In this first of a series of articles, the forging of plain-carbon and low-alloy steels will be examined. Forged engine and powertrain components include connecting rods, crankshafts, transmission shafts and gears, differential gears, drive shafts, clutch hubs, and universal joint yokes and crosses. However, in most forging, the die material is kept at a lower temperature compared with the forging temperature of the work-piece. Although this specification covers some piping components machined from rolled bar and seamless tubular materials (see 5.3.3), it does not cover raw material pro… Figure 1 shows some typical applications for forged steel components. From the foregoing it would be evident that the steels for automotive forging ought to be able to combine strength, toughness, fatigue resistance and, in many instances, high weldability. Localized temperature increases of 200°F or more can result in localized melting, which will significantly reduce mechanical properties and forging ductility. The temperature to start the forging for soft, low carbon steels is 1,250 to 1,300°C, the temperature to finish forging is 800 to 840°C. In passenger cars, trucks, and tractors (for agricultural applications), forged components are commonly used wherever one encounters load carrying and shock enduring points. Typical Steel Grades, UNS designation, and Steel Names Have any question, Please enter the form below and click the submit button. A new prediction system is developed which enables us to predict distributions of micro structure, flow stress, residual stress, temperature, deformation and forging load during or after a hot forging process. Well over 50% of the weight of a typical passenger car is from its steel content. Forged or Rolled Alloy and Stainless Steel Pipe Flanges, Forged Fittings, and Valves and Parts for High-Temperature Service. Consequently, there have been attempts to develop grades of steel (primarily, microalloyed, MA) that are free from some of these maladies. Typical mechanical properties for normalized plain-carbon steels. Please click here to continue without javascript.. You must have JavaScript enabled to enjoy a limited number of articles over the next 30 days. Flow stress curves for steel forged at various temperatures. Figure 2. The behavior of steel during the forging operation needs to be understood so that the best possible components are shipped to the customer. 14.23. The reason for the strong temperature decrease in the teeth geometry is the heat transfer into the die during forming. 1. View our. The calculation of the temperature distribution within the workpiece offers an optimal process planning (32). There is also some information on small closed-die forgings of the Weldalite™ 049 developmental alloys X2094 and X2095 (McNamara et al., 1992); a paper observing that hand, die, and ring forgings are readily made with Al–Li alloys (Babel and Parrish, 2004); and a nonarchival mention of second-generation AA 2090 forgings for landing gear parts. M. Yoshino, T. Shirakashi, in Advances in Engineering Plasticity and its Applications, 1993. The variety of metals that can be forged is quite large, but each class of materials has its own set of issues that need to be understood by the forger so that high-quality components can be produced. Forging can also reduce grain size and produce a fibrous grain structure (i.e. If you have ever wished there was something people could read to help them better understand what you do, this is the book for you. Based on this, the lowest possible forging temperature of the raw part can be determined depending on transport and storage times and the maximum available forming force in the design phase. The higher the speed of deformation, the higher the strength of the steel and the more force required for its deformation. Patterns of changing deformation fields like Fig. There are a wide range of steel compositions as well as a wide range of microstructures that can be produced. This article will discuss the chemistry, typical applications and some operational forging issues. Broadly, a simple measure of weldability is the carbon content in conjunction with the carbon-equivalent [C.E.=C+Mn/6+(Ni+Cu)/15+(Cr+Mo+V)/5]. There is a great deal of practical knowledge about how to avoid defect formation, such as correct forging temperatures for different metals, correct surface preparation, and prior heat treatment. Tool (die) temperatures are rarely critical in the production of a steel forging. One of the major problems associated with hot forging is the associated high temperature which generally requires special die materials that can withstand the temperature with a judicial compromise on the strength. ...
