Cooling Methods for Forgings

The cooling process after forging is a critical step that directly determines the final microstructure, mechanical properties, and residual stress of the metal part. Selecting the appropriate cooling method is essential to meet the specified material properties and performance requirements. Here are the primary cooling methods employed in the forging industry: 1. Still Air Cooling […]
Normalizing

This is a process that’s usually used on forged or cast steel. It gives the metal a uniform grain structure, improving its toughness and making the metal more stable.
