Forging Season: No Tricks, Just Tough Treats 🎃🔥

At Anderson Shumaker, spooky season doesn’t scare us. We turn raw steel into reliable parts—no ghosts in the grain, no monsters in the certs. Here’s how we keep the shop running clean when the nights get long. 👻🧪

“Horror Stories” We Don’t Allow 🚫

• Cold cores in heavy sections → we soak by section size and verify with load TCs. 🌡️

• Cracking after quench → tuned media, agitation, and timing—no coffin-nails in your hardness. 💦

• Laps from sharp transitions → proper die radii and planishing passes. 🛠️

• Mystery blanks → heat/lot marked, traveler-tracked, stamped to survive the process. 🏷️

The Real “Magic” (It’s Just Process Control) 🧙‍♂️

• Open-die forging that refines grain and aligns flow with the load path. ⚒️

• Heat treat recipes that hit mechanicals without over-tempering the soul out of the steel. ♨️

• Saw cuts to tolerance with minimal kerf, logged weights, and clean faces for your machinists. 🪚

• NDT and mechanicals that hold up when QA shines a flashlight in the corners. 🔦📑

Shop Safety: No Jump Scares 🦺

• Clear crane paths, hot-work PPE, and clean tong fit—because “almost” safe is still dangerous.

• Calibrations on furnaces and instruments so the only thing haunted is the decor. 🎃

Seasonal Shout-Outs 🗣️

• Rings that roll true for rotating equipment.

• Blocks & discs forged to near-net to cut your chips.

• Stainless & nickel alloys heat treated for the long haul.
