Forging
Takes Flight - Space Travel is Redefined: SpaceDev (Poway,
CA) and Scot Forge worked together to make the dream of
private space flight a reality, moving quickly from drawing
board to launching pad.
Forging
Raises the Bar on Mgnesium Die Casting: With the help
of Scot Forge and Scot Forges creative engineering,
Sloan Industries, Inc (Wood Dale, IL) discovered that using
forging, rather than casting on magnesium die casting goosenecks
yielded better machine performance and part quality.
Unusual Shaped
Forging Breaks Ground -- Literally:< Scot Forge worked
with Deca Industries to create a highly unusual three-spoke
forging. The forging replaced a casting used in the mining
industry.
Field of Dreams: Forgings support Seattle Mariners'
new ballpark roof. Forged gear pinions, bull gear rings,
wheels axle pins, and connecting pins provide the strength
needed to support the outdoor park's 11,000-ton retractable
roof.
Forging successfully replaces casting in PET scanner medical
application: CTI Molecular Imaging (Knoxville, TN),
in a joint effort with Scot Forge recently converting a
cast component to a forging in the production of steel rings
and hubs for its Eclipse Cyclotrons.
Forging Helps
Preserve Maritime History: An 8-ton forged master cylinder,
with a forged piston and end caps, helped relocate the historic
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The cylinder was used in the largest
U.S.-built jack to save the 208-foot beacon — the
world's tallest brick lighthouse — from an eroding
shore.
Raising
the Roof in a Fault Zone: Massive, forged shock-absorbing
dampers lend earthquake protection to Latin America's tallest
tower. Scot Forge produced the parts to make it happen.
Steel bars combine
forging and rolling: Scot Forges Tartan Bars feature
a fully consolidated forged center, and a surface that is
finished by multiple-pass rolling.Combining forging and
rolling cuts press time in half; produces short runs in
short order.
