Large slab. No problem!
Big presses need large forgings too! Often a break-down situation means our customer is losing thousands of dollars in down time each day. This is where NAF has our customers covered with an expedited response.  This slab measuring 20" thick x 97" wide x 275" long and 151,000 lbs was successfully forged by our very talented team here at NAF earlier this week. Tonight the material will complete its normalized cycle and once milled will ship in early December. All operations from melting the steel ingot to milling and final inspection will be performed at one facility here in New Castle, PA!
