What you should know about SMI STEELMOR
Forging, as a manufacturing process, has been around for thousands of years. Over the centuries, traditional blacksmith workshops have evolved into specialised, hi-tech manufacturing facilities with CAD engineering processes and high capacity production equipment and tools to meet the many and changing demands of modern industry. Forging creates parts (called forgings) that are generally much stronger than those created by any other metalworking process. This strength means sectional thickness and overall weight can be reduced without compromising the integrity of the final part. This is why forgings are commonly found in applications where reliability and safety are paramount. Although forgings are critical components in a wide variety of equipment across a broad spectrum of industries, you'll rarely actually see them. Heated raw material is placed in the bottom die, while the shape of the forging is incorporated as a negative image. The force of the impact of the top die on the raw material forms it into the required shape. Stock is held between a fixed and moving die, while a horizontal ram provides the forging pressure. Steelmor has a full range of billets in rounds and square carried in carbon, alloy and stainless steel for forging purposes. Light to heavy forgings are manufactured in our closed die, press and hammer forgings plants.

At its most basic level, bevelling is the process used to prepare metals, including stainless steel, for a welded seam. This is done by cutting an angled slope on the edge of the metal, and forms an integral part of building pretty much everything! Bevelled stainless steel edges produce a stronger, sturdier weld than straight edges, making them the preferred choice for heavy-duty equipment in the agricultural, mining, construction, oil and gas and shipbuilding industries. It’s common for fabricators to use plasma cutters and abrasives to create bevelled edges, but other methods, such as peeling and shearing, milling and routing, and punch and nibbling are also popular for certain applications. This is an important and influential consideration when deciding which bevelling method to use, in order to ensure a successful finished result. If speed is a factor, it’s important to find out the amount of bevel that can successfully be achieved in one pass. Sometimes, a method may appear slower, but actually achieves more bevelling in a single pass than another method, meaning the final result is more quickly achieved. Sometimes they are created purely for aesthetic appeal.
