Frequently Asked Questions
The forging ratio is the fraction of length reduction per heat. For example, a ratio of 0.2 means the bar length decreases by 20% each heat.
The number of heats is the number of times the bar must be heated and hammered to reduce it from the initial length to the final length, based on the forging ratio.
Enter lengths in inches (or any consistent unit) and time in minutes. The calculator will output in the same units.
