Equipment, capabilities and processes for manufacturing steel utilizing the best ladle furnace technology. CAPABILITIES > Steelmaking > STEELMAKING Producing large steel ingots utilizing the best ladle furnace technology. EQUIPMENT AND CAPABILITIES The majority of NAF’s ingots are purchased from Ellwood Quality Steels and shipped hot a few hundred yards between the plants. EQS is North America's most reliable producer of high-quality, low-cost carbon, alloy, tool, and martensitic stainless steel ingots. Low carbon stainless ingots are available from Ellwood National Steel and other approved sources. Every phase of the ASEA-SKF split steelmaking system is highly monitored and closely controlled producing steels with exceptional cleanliness and tight chemistry ranges. The ability to repeat specific alloy content for given grades allows NAF to achieve consistent mechanical property results after heat treatment. The steel cleanliness rivals that achieved only through re-melted refining processes such as ESR and VAR. The melt shop features a modern 45 nominal ton Ultra High Power Electric Arc Furnace with Eccentric Bottom Tapping (EBT). The ladle furnace steelmaking is accomplished with split ASEA-SKF secondary steelmaking equipment: Two ladle refining units A custom alloy delivery system One ladle vacuum degasser THE PROCESS First, scrap is loaded into clam-shell buckets and charged into an ultra-high powered (UHP) eccentric bottom-tapping (EBT) electric arc furnace. After the scrap is melted, carbon and phosphorus are removed under an oxidizing slag. Steel is then bottom tapped slag-free into a preheated ladle. The ladle serves as the refining vessel and is built for both induction stirring and argon bubbling. During tapping, deoxidation and alloy additions are charged into the ladle, followed by a reducing top slag. The ladle is transferred to the first refining station for alloy adjustment and refining. Arc heating and induction stirring at this step ensures homogeneous mixing and interaction between the steel and slag. The ladle is then transferred to a vacuum degassing station whereby hydrogen is removed to a level of less than 1ppm. Combined induction stirring and argon gas bubbling are used during vacuum treatment. After vacuum degassing, the ladle may go to the second ladle refining for calcium wire treatment. Heats are sent to teem at a consistent pre-designated temperature. All ingots are bottom-poured at a controlled rate of rise in big end up, tapered, fluted molds. A teeming car is used to enable faster turnaround and multi-heat ingot pours. Argon shrouding is employed to minimize re-oxidation and the pick-up of nitrogen and hydrogen. < Quality Forging >

North American Forgemasters (NAF) is a 50-50 joint venture between Scot Forge and Ellwood Group, Inc. NAF TODAY Today the partnership is as strong as ever, converting an average of more than 100,000 ingot tons per year, making NAF perhaps the most productive open die forger in the world. The original press was rebuilt in 2013 and the original six oxy-fuel forge heating furnaces were replaced in 2014 with five regenerative burner furnaces providing a net heating capacity increase with lower emissions. The press is serviced by two 50 ton mobile manipulators. Additionally, the Partners have invested approximately $95 million to build an open die press complex with the capabilities to make open die forgings larger than either can make today. The 90MN / 10120 ton open die forging press is the centerpiece of the investment and is the largest, fastest acting and most reliable press in the Western Hemisphere. It is serviced by a 190 ton crane, a 200 ton rail-bound manipulator and a 100 ton mobile manipulator. Currently, there is one car bottom and two box forge heating furnaces as well a large moving hood normalize, temper, stress relieve and slow cool furnace. EXPERIENCE. RELIABILITY. QUALITY. North American Forgemasters (NAF) is a 50-50 joint venture between Scot Forge and Ellwood Group, Inc . ABOUT US NORTH AMERICAN FORGEMASTERS NAF was established in 1997 when an agreement between the Partner companies was made to install a 4500 ton press in New Castle, PA. At the time, both Partners identified the need for a larger open die forging press and the idea of a joint venture adjacent to both company's primary melt source would provide the opportunity to hot ship ingots a few hundred yards to the bigger press. The agreement was made to operate as a cost center converting ingots supplied by each of the Partners into bloom and custom open die forgings according to their written instructions. Since 1997, the two Partners have grown and prospered, in part due to the success of the NAF joint venture. Both companies have since installed larger presses - Scot Forge built a 5500 ton press in 2007 and Ellwood City Forge, a division of EGI, built a 5000 ton press in 2008. Since the 4500 ton press is no longer unique, the Partners have made a new agreement, looking to once again create opportunity for the NAF JV.

North American Forgemasters produces round, rectangular, hexagon, square and flat bar with weights up to 270,000 lbs. and max. length of 75 ft. Forged shafts are also available with max. O.D. of 160 in. PRODUCTS > Shafts & Bars > FORGED SHAFTS AND BARS Our step shafts are forged from sound-centered billets. Using a “fuller” tool to start the stepping process, we forge the steps into smaller or tapered diameters. This process creates a contoured grain flow, giving the part greater strength and fatigue resistance that can’t be found in shafts machined from bar stock. For round bars, square bars, flat bars and hex bars, NAF can produce sound-centered bars from various alloy types for a stronger and more durable product compared to a machined part or casting. From planishing, cutting, heat treating, straightening, machining and testing, we deliver consistent, high-quality, fast turnaround times.

Dimensional Inspection Elemental Analysis using Optical Emission and X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry THE PROCESS Prior to manufacturing, many decisions are made regarding material, process planning and production to ensure product performance and conformance to specifications. To validate whether the product meets spec requirements for its intended application, a variety of testing methods are employed as required. Mechanical testing, which is also known as destructive testing, is accomplished by forcing a test sample to fail by the application of various load factors. In contrast, non-destructive testing identifies surface or subsurface flaws and defects without causing harm to the part or material.

North American Forgemasters produces large disk and hub forgings with weights up to 270,000 lbs. and max. O.D. of 160 in. in a variety of materials. PRODUCTS > Discs & Hubs > FORGED DISCS AND HUBS Our forged discs and hubs are made by standing heated material on end and working it between an upper and lower die (a.k.a. upsetting). This process compresses the grain structure of the part in both directions, which gives strength and ductility that is not found with other metalworking alternatives. With our variety of in-house tooling, we are able to produce both simple and complex hub near-net forgings with tight dimensional tolerances and smooth finishes. Additionally, NAF offers all downstream processing, including heat treatment, machining and mechanical and non-destructive testing, upon request. Contact us today with your exact specifications. Our team will work with you to capitalize on our capabilities to minimize material waste and reduce process inefficiencies. Max. O.D. Max. Length Max. Weight 190in. ** 325,000+ lbs. **There is no practical combination of dimensions that would result in a weight greater than 270,000 lbs. (i.e. height and length are only limited by a combination of the dimensions and max. weight). Feel free to reach out to a NAF team member for further clarification. < Custom Rings >
