Heat, Pressure, and Precision: The Science Behind B&G Manufacturing’s Forging Process

Forging is at the core of the B&G manufacturing process, allowing us to produce various and complex machined products for our diverse range of clients in the markets we serve. Our clients look for parts and instruments which can withstand extreme conditions, have complex geometries, and meet strict quality standards. Our forging process is one of the ways we achieve this, and the science of it comes down to three factors; heat, pressure, and precision.

Materials: A Deeper look into our guide

When manufacturing products for different industries, some sectors often require specific raw materials that meet unique industry specifications. The manufacturing materials used to fabricate medical products, for instance, will vary from those used to manufacture aerospace parts or from products used in oil and gas.

Some factors that come into play when selecting the materials to use in different industries include durability, structural properties, environmental impact, economic aspects, and specialist properties, such as thermal conductivity, stability, corrosion resistance, etc. If you are wondering which metals are ideal for your industry, we have you covered.

Quality Assurance in Your Manufactured Parts

The manufacturing sector is often focused on improving processes and delivering value in the most cost-effective ways. But manufacturing comes in many shapes, and sometimes the quality of the end products is more important than the cost and optimization metrics. This is the case for complex manufacturing, where quality is always at stake.

Whether manufacturing surgical equipment or forging machined parts for use in an aircraft, it takes more than experience to get things right every other time. That’s where quality assurance comes in; to help manufacturers create and ship high-precision and industry-compliant products that are clear of defects and meet customer expectations.

Certifications: The Path to Success

Why are Certifications in Manufacturing Important? 

Similarly to how medical or defense companies follow HIPPA guidelines, manufacturing companies like us are required to uphold certain standards to ensure our products and people are safe. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards are crucial to our work and are internationally agreed upon by experts as the best way to go about things. Each year we assess our certifications and standards. This year we received certifications in ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016 and AS9100D for international Quality Management Standards.

A New Take on Stud Manufacturing

The History of Stud Manufacturing

Historically Studs were chamfered on a belt sander and hand stamped. This process was labor intensive and costly not to mention the increased risk for mistakes. Another method for stud manufacturing is chamfering in a lathe if the chamfer dimensions are precise such as for critical industries like aerospace, energy, and medical. Our studmaster machine significantly cuts down on production time and costs. A chamfer is a transitional edge between two sides of an object that is often created between the two sides of a 90* Angle. It is used in many applications to help ease with assembly when multiple pieces are involved and also removes a sharp edge which reduces room for workplace injuries. With metal applications it prevents damage to the metal.  The chamfered end is also called a “lark’s tongue” due to the similarity in shape.

The Climate of the Manufacturing Industry

The climate in the manufacturing industry has been affected by a variety of events, not the least of which is the COVID-19 pandemic. The problems filter down within the industry, including supply chain and shipping issues. When many companies were closed because of lockdowns, both essential and non-essential manufacturing were also affected. Manufacturing plants depend upon the availability of shipping containers, and if they are in short supply, products cannot reach customers.
