The wheel is now the right size to give it the right shape it is placed in a dishing press this presses the hub into correct position relative to the trade it also gives the final contour to the web or plate and stamps the cast number which enables the wheel to be identified from steel furnace to stock room and throughout its future life and here's the dished wheel with its cast number depending on the ultimate use certain classes of wheels are either allowed to cool freely in air or a cent for heat treatment in the latter case they are passed through a walking beam furnace it is this heat treatment Metal Corner Brackets which governs the structure and tensile strength of the wheel quenching during heat treatment can be by water or oil these particular wheels are quenched by sprays of water the quenching quickly reduces the tread temperature from 850 to 550 degrees centigrade so far the wheels have been made to fairly close tolerances now they have to be machined to find specification limits every part of the wheel is machined in its turn a line of leis each taking two wheels accurately machines them.

And with a speed which the constant output of the wheel no demands some wheels have holes cut in the web an operation known as tree panning with three cutters working simultaneously the weight of the wheel is reduced boring the hub needs a particularly high degree of accuracy it must be a perfect fit on the axle this operation completes the wheel if wheels alone are ordered they are transferred for immediate dispatch but if the instructions include axles they take their place to await assembly unlike wheels which as you've seen a press forged axles are hammer forged plumes are delivered from the rolling mills and charged to a continuous furnace by magnet crane the reheating and soaking in this furnace gradually bring the blooms to forging heat they take approximately six hours to pass through and reach a temperature of 1200 degrees centigrade at the other end of the furnace a heated bloom is pushed out to the manipulator to take it in its grip a short Travis and the bloom is placed under the seven tongue top.
And bottom tools having various diameter holes to suit particular axles can be fitted to this hammer these holes have two diameters one for the Outdoor Screws body of the axle and the other for the journal which will run in a bearing is forged in the other hole of the hammertoe when one half is completed the axle is taken out and turned for the other half to be forged nearby forged axles are rolling into the heat treatment furnace to be reheated to 850 degrees centigrade they're all from the furnace onto a lift above the quenching tank as with wheels the form of treatment and quenching is calculated to meet the stress and load factors under operating conditions in this case quenching is in oil and the length of their immersion depends upon predetermined factors as with wheels.
