Service Centers
Service centers may receive requests for quote from their customers for forged parts that they do not have in stock. Rather than No Quote the request, a service center can work with AMFG to fulfill their customers’ needs. AMFG can provide a quote to the service center with room for a reasonable margin mark-up or commission, then produce the part(s), and deliver them to the service center or blind ship them to the customer.
All Metals & Forge Group has maintained this relationship with service centers for many years. The service center’s customer remains their customer, and since AMFG does not conduct a service center business, it does not compete with the service center for a customer brought to AMFG for an open die forging or seamless rolled ring need.
All Metals & Forge Group takes great pride in maintaining one of the most stringent ISO9001, AS9100 quality systems in the open die forging and seamless rolled ring industry. It begins with learning the customer’s end use, required forging surface condition, mechanical properties of the specified material and alloy, forged shape, heat treatment, delivery need, and competitive price, coupled with forging soundness proven by ultrasonic testing, and care in packing goods to arrive in pristine condition at the customer’s desired location. Every step is monitored by the quality system at AMFG and continuously improved.
AMFG performs rough machining to within 3mm of finish dimensions to reduce the CNC cost at the customer’s machine shop for all the forged shapes the company produces. The rough machine surface condition is 250 RMS so that proper quality testing can be performed on each part – the AMFG standard.
The company can perform finish machining to within .001 of an inch for final tolerance and 64 or 32 RMS surface finish. This level of quality and precision is unique in an industry where other company’s parts are often delivered black, as forged, or with a rough machined surface of 500 RMS without the internal or external steps and dimensions to reduce machining costs.
From inquiry to invoice, All Metals & Forge Group quality is managed and not assumed. Whether the need is for one part, an entire project, or a production run, AMFG delivers.
