Pete, have a gander at this wonderful video from the 50's. You will have a good understanding of the process and benefits of forged products. Plus there is some amazing equipment and machinery that is just plain awesome ��

I did some work in Shultz Steel some years ago.. they asked us to speed up the machines that moved steel from the furnaces to the presses.. scale size of this place is nothing short of amazing! the parking lot would shake when the big presses were running.. had a great time working in there several days.. cranked up the hydrostats on their specialized handlers.. they were hauling azz in there with giant chunks of steel glowing almost white and bright as the sun!
