Competitive Position of Natural Gas: Ferrous Forging, October 1988

摘要

Energy and Environmental Analysis, Inc. conducted a study (see report GRI-88/0219) to assess the competitive position of natural gas in the ferrous forging industry. Results indicate that electric heating technologies will continue to penetrate the small workpiece forging market, but that natural gas technologies are preferred in applications that require intermediate reheating or the ability to heat a variety of shapes and sizes in the same furnace.
