Steel forgings: Second volume
- eds.
Steel is supplied in many product forms, most of which are produced in terms of basic dimensions such as width and thickness, or diameter and with length describing quantity. Forgings and castings by contrast are diverse in shape and form and are individually made for a specific purpose, either as self contained units such as crankshafts, valve bodies or turbine rotors, or as discrete components to be fabricated into a larger assembly, as for example a nozzle for a pressure vessel. The specification and testing of forgings is therefore more varied, complex, and demanding than is the case for other product forms. This is augmented by the fact that forgings are often expected to give better reliability and service performance than can be expected when the same part is fabricated from sections of other steel product forms, if this were in fact practical. Given these unique circumstances the exchange of ideas on forging manufacturing techniques and experience, materials data and service experience has been an essential driving force in developing forging techniques and applications in every industrial field. The format of the symposium was similar to that of Williamsburg, focusing on the scope of the subcommittee in the areas of pressure vessel and nuclear forgings, turbine and generator forgings, general industrial forgings, and test methods for forgings. Separate abstracts were prepared for 17 papers.
