Expanding and Flexing Heating Processes

摘要

TimkenSteel's new AQTF adds capacity and functionality to the task of heating quality steel long products. As noted by the Steel Market Development Institute, steel manufacturing processes represent a significant portion of the value imparted to engineered automotive parts, creating the basis from which processes like forging can complete the value proposition. One of the top suppliers of forging raw materials is TimkenSteel, which produces up to 2 million tons/year of carbon steel, alloy, and micro-alloyed steel for automotive, oil-and-gas, and general industrial applications. Since it was launched in 2013 the Ohio steelmaker has been investing in its production capabilities, continuing to build the means for manufacturing high-quality products that will ensure the value of the components produced in the next phase of the supply chain.
