Assessment of metal heating technologies for ferrous forging: A pilot study of the form value of natural gas
Abstract
The major steps of this study are: select sample applications representative of the market segment under study and characterize applicable technologies in terms of performance and cost data; evaluate and compare economics of competing technologies for sample applications to assess gas form value in each case; perform sensitivity analysis for various market factors and evaluate their significance to the form value; explore R&D concepts to improve gas technology's form value.
