30. Carpenter’s Manufacturing Process Carpenter manufactures hundreds of grades of specialty cast and powder alloys including stainless steels, high temperature (nickel, iron and cobalt-base) alloys, high strength steels, magnetic and controlled expansion alloys, tool steels, and other special purpose alloys. Product forms include bar, billet, large-diameter hollow bar, wire, fine wire and ribbon, precision strip, special shapes, plate, powder shapes.
35. Carpenter Manufacturing Process FORGING AND COGGING: Large ingots are rolled, pressed or forged into intermediate-sized billets for further processing. Some billet product may be shipped directly to customers. 4,500-Ton Forge Press SX-65 Rotary Forge SX-32 Rotary Forge In-Line Cogging Mills Billet HEAT TREATING 3 of 5
37. Carpenter Manufacturing Process HOT ROLLING: Billets are progressively rolled to smaller cross-section sizes and emerge as hot rolled bars or coils of rod, wire, flat strip, or special shapes. Wire Rolling Mills Bar Rolling Mills Custom Lot Mill (Hand Mills) HEAT TREATING Coil Bar Strip 4 of 5
39. Carpenter Manufacturing Process COLD FINISHING: Various cold drawing, turning and rolling operations produce finished forms of bar, wire, fine wire and ribbon, strip, plate and special shaped bar and wire to exacting customer specifications. Product is then shipped to Carpenter distribution centers or direct to the customer.

… Carpenter! James Carpenter was a construction engineer who became interested in the progress of steel in 1879. Steels were still relatively new at that time, gradually replacing iron as the metal of choice.
Carpenter’s history as a pioneer in materials science has served it well. With manufacturing and service centers on four continents, we have arguably the most diverse product line of any single competitor in the world.
