EQUIPMENT AND CAPABILITIES

only fully integrated large commercial forge in North America

The majority of NAF’s ingots are purchased from Ellwood Quality Steels and shipped hot a few hundred yards between the plants. EQS is North America's most reliable producer of high-quality, low-cost carbon, alloy, tool and martensitic stainless steel ingots. Low carbon stainless ingots are available from Ellwood National Steel and other approved sources.

Every phase of the ASEA-SKF split steelmaking system is highly monitored and closely controlled producing steels with exceptional cleanliness and tight chemistry ranges. The ability to repeat specific alloy content for given grades allows NAF to achieve consistent mechanical property results after heat treatment. The steel cleanliness rivals that achieved only through re-melted refining processes such as ESR and VAR.
