A steel ingot is heated in an oven to about 2,200 degrees F amd is then placed in a forging die and squeezed into the approximate shape of the desired crank profile. This “squeezing” is performed either by a hammering or pressing process.

Machinability - AISI Rating

Machinability of a material can be defined as the ease with which it can be machined.

Machinability can be expressed as a percentage or a normalized value. The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has determined for AISI No. 1112 carbon steel, a machinability rating of 100%.
