Types of forging repairs
Thread Content
Remanufacturing of forgings: For example, Clause 10 of A105 permits remanufacturing, requiring heat treatment and non-destructive testing. Should this repair be done on the raw material? Or repair the finished product?
It usually involves the repair of finished products, after which relevant heat treatment is carried out in accordance with standard requirements, and the inspection tests must pass.
Forgings generally require rough surface machining before non-destructive testing can be carried out; therefore, the repairs referred to here pertain at least to forgings that have undergone rough machining.
