1.Steel manufacturing
The steel shall be produced by the electric arc furnace and has to be vacuum degassed. Hydrogen must be held below 2.5 ppm and Oxygen below 30 ppm. 2. Hot Forming.
The mandrel bars are to be forged from an ingot. The cross-sectional area of the solid forging shall have a reduction by hot forming from that of the ingot in the ratio of not less than 8 to 1. There should not have any defects. 3. Heat Treatment.
The hot forming process shall be immediately followed by heat treating processes. .Material must ensure the required structure and mechanical properties. 4.Mandrel tests.
