Forging 9khs, Dnipropetrovsk region.

Forging - intermediate workpiece or product obtained by forging or volume stamping in forging and stamping production. Forged die blanks are annealed to reduce hardness, relieve internal stresses and prepare the structure for subsequent quenching. Forgings that cool down slowly after their production, in insulated pits or slag, can be loaded for annealing into a furnace, heated to the required temperature, and heated at the speed allowed by this furnace. The forgings, which cool down quickly after their manufacture, are loaded into the furnace at a temperature of 400-500° on the floor of the workshop and heated to the required temperature together with the furnace.
