CARBON STEEL FORGED ROLLED RINGS

RUNCHI supply professional and honest service.

At Ringmasters, seamless rolled rings are our sole focus. We have mastered the ability to deliver high-quality rings on-time, on-spec and per our customer&#;s most demanding requirements.

Carbon steel is generally the lowest costs option for steel. Depending on the grade, you can have carbon steels that are hardenable through quench and tempering, but you cannot achieve the super high strength of stainless steels. Carbon steel grades are commonly used if applications don&#;t require high strength or high temperature environments. Here are some common characteristics:

Plain Carbon Steel

Plain carbon steel (10xx) is the least expensive carbon steel and is good for welding. It contains low alloy content and high carbons which offer good toughness and surface hardness. Common grades include , , , , , , , , and .

Low Carbon Steel

Low carbon steel (11xx) is a resulfurized carbon steel. Sulfur is added to the carbon which provides better machinability. Common grades include , and .

High Carbon Steel

These grades of carbon steel contain manganese for hardening. Common grades include V and 15B22. V is similar to / but without the increased cost and 15B22 can be welded and heat treated for higher hardness.

A Grades

Carbon steels such as A360LF2 or A360LF3 are corrosion resistant and great for oil field applications. These plain carbon steels contain alloying elements like manganese or nickel for improved hardenability or toughness and are used in medium strength applications with the intention of welding.

Forgings refer to products manufactured by the process of shaping metal utilizing compressive forces. The compressive forces used are generally delivered via pressing, pounding, or squeezing under great pressure. Although there are many different kinds of forging processes available, they can be grouped into three main classes:

Drawn out: length increases, cross-section

Upset: length decreases, cross-section increases decreases

Squeezed in closed compression dies: produces multidirectional flow

Forging produces pieces that are stronger than an equivalent cast or machined part. As the metal is shaped during the forging process, the internal grain deforms to follow the general shape of the part. This results in a grain that is continuous throughout the part, resulting in its high strength characteristics. Forgings are broadly classified as either cold, warm or hot forgings, according to the temperature at which the processing is performed.  Iron and steel are nearly always hot forged, which prevents the work hardening that would result from cold forging. Work hardening increases the difficulty of performing secondary machining operations on the metal pieces. When work hardening is desired, other methods of hardening, most notably heat treating, may be applied to the piece. Alloys such as aluminum and titanium that are amenable to precipitation hardening can be hot forged, followed by hardening. Because of their high strength, forgings are almost always used where reliability and human safety are critical such as in the aerospace, automotive, ship building, oil drilling, engine and petrochemical industries.
