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.

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.
