Steel Forging Knowledge and News

You’ve seen it before. Two die casting molds, both made of H13 tool steel. One lasts 300,000 shots. The other cracks before 50,000. Same material name. Completely different performance.The difference often comes down to one word: forged.If you buy H13 (also called 1.2344 or SKD61) for die casting or

IntroductionForged components are widely used in oil & gas, power generation, aerospace, heavy machinery and automotive industries. Even minor metallurgical defects can lead to catastrophic in-service failure, fatigue fracture or unexpected downtime. Buyers and forging engineers must master defect i

Why Is Nondestructive Testing So Important for Large Forgings?Stainless steel forgings, die steel forgings, and roll forgings are widely used in key fields such as power generation equipment, petrochemicals, shipbuilding, and heavy machinery. These large forgings are often the main load-bearing part

In the metalworking industry, quenching cracks are a common yet thorny problem. Once a workpiece cracks after heat treatment, the first reaction is often, "Something went wrong with the heat treatment." But is that really the case? Should heat treatment really take the blame for this?Does heat treat

As a practitioner in the stainless steel forging industry, I am particularly excited about Musk's decision to choose stainless steel as the material for the Starship rocket body. This is not only a disruptive innovation in the commercial space sector, but also a rediscovery of the potential of stain
