Iron and Steel Forging
Iron and steel forging shops take customer drawings or specifications for parts such as shafts, gears, hooks, flanges and fittings. They convert those specs into die or open-die forging plans, schedule hammer and press time, cut and heat billets, perform the forging, then move parts through trimming, heat treatment, inspection and shipping. The specialists turn incoming orders into confirmed jobs with material and process requirements, explode those into a weekly forging schedule, track dies, billets and tooling inventory, generate required heat-treat and inspection checklists, and keep the production sequence moving while the forge operator controls the actual hammer and press work.
