Forged steels

Steels subjected to the forging process: heating at a temperature between 800 and 1200 ° C (higher than the austenization temperature) and formed by presses with open matrix (free forging) or with closed matrix (hot stamping). The purpose of the forging is to improve the microstructure of the steel, eliminating physical and chemical heterogeneities that…

Forging

Process of forming by plastic deformation in which the deformation of the material is produced by the application of compression forces. It can be done in hot or cold process. It is used to give shape and specific properties to metals and alloys using high pressures. The deformation can be performed by pressure, using presses…

Free cutting steels

They are steels with a minimum sulfur content of 0.1%. They are carbon steels that are alloyed with sulfur or with sulfur and lead. They have a high content of manganese to form manganese sulphides (SMn). Both SMn and lead get the lubrication of the cutting tool and the breaking of the chip that comes…

Furnace

It is a mechanism that generates heat and keeps it inside a closed compartment. The furnace can be heated by combustion (firewood, gas or other fuel), radiation (sunlight) or indirectly by electricity (electric furnace).
