Grain Flow is a term you will hear throughout the forging industry. But what is it? And why is it so important?
All raw materials are processed at a mill or foundry turning them into certified and useable bars or plates. Molten metal is mixed together to create the final chemical composition required. This determines if the material will be steel, stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, and so on.
During the recrystallisation process, as the molten metal solidifies, crystals are slowly formed in the internal structure. These are commonly referred to as grains.
