Are you saying it doesn't get machined down on all surfaces? I can imagine there being less waste and higher yield on the more controlled process, but could you explain how the final product is any different?
- jordanb 10y agoWell if they do machine it then they're going to take off the hardened surface put on by forging. Maybe that doesn't matter for a pipe flange. But that would also take a gigantic lathe, given the backyard nature of their forging setup I'd be interested to see how they do that.
