Forging nickel-based alloys is an important part of Anderson Shumaker’s production. Our skilled team knows their metals inside and out. But, not everyone is familiar with the many materials we forge. Each metal has its own unique properties and attributes. Therefore, not all metals are appropriate for all products. A few weeks back we discussed…
Special machinery can require special materials and configurations.Industries such as: pulp and paper, plastic injection molding, mining, off shore drilling, construction equipment, transportation, all have depended on quality materials from Anderson Shumaker.Stocking over 100 grades of steel and with many other grades available, Anderson Shumaker is a wise choice. Forgings offer many benefits over castings, plate or bar. Material integrity, eliminating porosity or laminations, nearer net shapes and directional grain flow along with a more predictable reaction to heat treatment. Value added options include heat treating, testing and machining.
