Machining

SSM Forge is proud to provide normalizing heat treatment for steel forgings of capacity 22mt – 25mt per day. The normalizing process is commonly applied to carbon and alloy steel parts in order to refine that grain structure and produce a more uniform distribution of carbon content throughout the material. Normalizing involves heating the forging to a specific temperature and then allowing the forging to cool in still air. The result is the restoration of ductility. Normalized forgings are less expensive than full annealed forgings because full annealing relies on furnace-controlled cooling. Heat Treatment is employed on forged products to homogenize the grain structure, enhance machinability and improve response to subsequent processes.
All normalizing steel processes are run out of batch-type furnaces for optimum process and lot control.
