Forged Blanks & Usages Save Time and Energy
14 December 2018Brooks have extensive on-site Upset Forging capabilies, enabling the manufacture and supply of forged blanks and usages, also know as close nett forgings.
Forged heads can be on one or both ends of the bar and available off the shelf for immediate conversion into finished products.
Stocks are held as forged and some heat treated ‘Blanks’ which enables us to modify the length to suit our clients requirements and speed up the manufacturing process. This reduces lead times, and helps to alleviate minimum set up costs for small batches.
An additional benefit resulting from this practice is that off-cuts or waste become Bar Ends, which in turn are put back into stock for re-use at a later date, and so the recycling process starts again..
