Carbon Steel Forgings

Alloy Steel

Carbon steel is available in four main grades that provide varying properties of hardness, impact strength and wear resistance.  Low carbon steel has the lowest carbon content, which makes it less brittle and more ductile and a good choice for forging.  Medium carbon steel contains higher levels of carbon and manganese and is used for high wear forged products. High carbon steel and very high carbon steel, with the highest carbon content of the alloys, exhibit hardness and resiliency, but are brittle and require special processing when heat treating.

Due to its high strength and impact resistance, carbon steel is an ideal material for products in high stress and high wear applications.  These include:

• Automotive components, such as fenders, bodies, pans, and transmission covers
• Carburized parts
• Bushings
• Machinery components
• Oil rig parts
• Mining equipment
• Shafting
• Gear blanks
• Railroad parts

They are used in the automotive, machine tool, oil and gas, mining, tool and die, and machinery manufacturing industries.

All Metals & Forge Group maintains a full inventory of carbon steels for use in our open die forgings, including seamless rolled rings, discs, hubs, blocks, shafts, flanges and other forged shapes that can be machined into finished parts.  We manufacture custom tool steel forgings to meet ASTM, AMS, ASME B16.47, NACE or corporate specifications, including odd sizes and custom lengths.  Custom chemistry material can be melted to your non-standard alloy specifications to meet the needs of your application.

Our capabilities include prototypes or one-offs, small runs, full production quantities and just-in-time inventory supply for long term contracts.  Some of the products we forge and processes we use for carbon steel forgings include:

• Flat bar blocks up to 120” width and 60,000 lbs.
• Cylinders and sleeves up to 84” maximum O.D. and 108” maximum length
• Discs and hubs up to 96” diameter and 75,000 lbs.
• Rolled, hand forged or mandrel forged rings up to 315” maximum O.D. and 65” maximum length
• Rounds, shafts and step shafts up to 420” maximum length and 80,000 lbs.
• Forged-in steps or contours to reduce finish machining time and material waste
• Quenching and tempering, normalizing, or annealing of forgings

We offer value-added services, including rough machining, heat treating, cutting, machining, rolling and welding to ensure that your finished product is delivered to you ready for finish machining.  All forgings are rough machined to your forging print and include mill test reports (MTRs), reports on mechanical and physical properties, and ultrasonic, X-ray and non-destructive testing (NDT) reports as ordered or specified.

All Metals & Forge Group is ISO 9001:2008 and AS/EN9100:2009 Rev C certified and provides 100% inspection and reporting on each forging delivered to its customers so you can be assured that 100% of your parts are manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards.
