Discuss Ways for the Beginning Blacksmith to Start Forging Metal Digital Demo Outline Objective: Discuss ways for the beginning blacksmith to start forging metal. Talk about strategies for tooling up: Where and how to find an anvil and anvil alternatives, hammers, tongs and forges. Discuss other shop tools that are the most necessary to get started. Do a short demo on the basics for moving the metal. Blacksmithing has a long tradition with many ways to reach the same goal. The information I’m sharing here is based on my own journey into blacksmithing and watching many beginners get started and seeing their challenges and frustrations. How do you want to approach blacksmithing? Do you want to gain experience by making your own tools or would you rather get to forging metal? Something in between? It’s good to think about this and form a game plan. It’s super easy to get bogged down in the process of making tools when all you really want to do is move hot metal. On the other hand, tons of great experience can be gained by making one’s own tools. -Outline of the basic starter kit.- •First hammer, selecting for size and shape. Handle modifications, Head modifications. •Anvil alternatives. Finding a “real” anvil, new vs. used, a big block of steel, section of railroad track and mounting on a stand. Using a ball bearing to show rebound test and a hammer for ring test. •What size tongs to buy and where. 3/8” square, ½” square, ¾” square. Why square and not round. •Forge: Propane or coal? Build or buy? With this class we will focus on propane because it is the easiest to get started with. Sources for a forge bodies (outer shell) how to line it, how to make a burner, safety. Sources for built forges. Carbon Monoxide meters. -Topics to cover during forging demo- •Holding the hammer, hammering style and tennis elbow. •Anvil height and mounting solidly. •Standing at the anvil working, using the anvil for layout. •Drawing a taper. •Upsetting. •Half face blow. •Directional spreading. •Punching and drifting a hole. -Basic Shop tool list- Anvil Tongs Hammer Forge Hand Drill Hand files (Farriers) 4.5” Right angle Grinder used for finishing or cutting material Hack Saw -More advanced shop tools to add to the list- Portable Band Saw Drill Press Mig Welder Oxy/Propane torch set -Resources- Plug and play Forges: https://www.majesticforge.com https://chileforge.com https://www.nctoolco.com Build your own forge resources: http://www.zoellerforge.com/index.html https://www.ronreil.abana.org http://www.ebay.com http://www.mcmaster.com https://hightempinc.net Tongs: https://quickanddirtytools.com Hammers: https://www.etsy.com/ (search “blacksmith hammer”) https://www.ebay.com/ (search “blacksmith hammer”) https://www.hammersource.com Used Anvils: If the asking price for a used anvil approaches $5.00 a pound, consider a new one.

Aluminum alloy AA-6061 and RSA-6061 heat treatment for large mirror applications T. Newswandera, B. Crowthera, G. Gubbelsb, R. Sendenb aSpace Dynamics Laboratory, 1695 North Research Park Way, North Logan, UT 84341;bRSP Technology, Metaalpark 2, 9936 BV, Delfzijl, The Netherlands ABSTRACT Aluminum mirrors and telescopes can be built to perform well if the material is processed correctly and can be relatively low cost and short schedule. However, the difficulty of making high quality aluminum telescopes increases as the size increases, starting with uniform heat treatment through the thickness of large mirror substrates. A risk reduction effort was started to build and test a ½ meter diameter super polished aluminum mirror. Material selection, the heat treatment process and stabilization are the first critical steps to building a successful mirror. In this study, large aluminum blanks of both conventional AA-6061 per AMS-A-22771 and RSA AA-6061 were built, heat treated and stress relieved.

    metals Article Study on Inclusions Distribution and Cyclic Fatigue Performance of Gear Steel 18CrNiMo7-6 Forging Min Wang 1,*, Wei Xiao 1, Peng Gan 2, Chao Gu 1 and Yan-Ping Bao 1 1 State Key Laboratory of Advanced Metallurgy, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China; [email protected] (W.X.); [email protected] (C.G.); [email protected] (Y.-P.B.) 2 CISDI Engineering Co. Ltd., Chongqing 400013, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 12 December 2019; Accepted: 25 January 2020; Published: 31 January 2020 Abstract: The three-dimensional morphologies of inclusions in gear steel 18CrNiMo7-6 forging were investigated by a non-destructive extraction method, and the cleanliness of radial positions was analyzed, mainly including the variation of total oxygen content and the distribution of size and quantity of inclusions. In addition, fatigue performance was tested using an ultrasonic fatigue machine to investigate the fatigue characteristics of the steel. The results show that the quantity density of inclusions per unit volume in gear steel 18CrNiMo7-6 decreases exponentially with increasing size, oxide inclusions with a size less than 8 µm account for more than 90%, while sulfide inclusions account for more than 85%. The average value of the oxygen content can reflect the level of inclusions that were evenly distributed in the molten steel, and the accumulative total oxygen content increases significantly with increasing inclusion size. The fatigue specimen failed after the stress exceeded the critical value, and fatigue failure hardly occurred when the stress was below the critical value.

  • PUNCHES and CHISELS Punches and Chisels the Anvil End on Heads of Snap-On® Punches and Chisels Are Machined to a Modified Parabolic Curve
    PUNCHES AND CHISELS Punches and Chisels The anvil end on heads of Snap-on® punches and chisels are machined to a modified parabolic curve. This design directs the striking force to the center of the tool head to allow slow metal displacement. The parabolic curve controls mushrooming to reduce chipping and splitting. Heads should be re-dressed to their original shape with hand files as necessary. The tough steel alloy is machined and differentially heat treated for optimum performance. The hardness of the striking head is reduced to help toughness and add qualities that result in a slower mushrooming of the striking surface. PPC250BK Punch and Chisel Set.
