ah timken they make the famed roller bearings for train wheels among some of the more famous products in their history.

[@agentorange153]

Both the rings and the rollers probably being made from the same square billet -- we've just seen how they turn the billet first into a round bar and then into a seamless tube, and from this point it's just one step from the round bar to the roller, and from the tube to the ring!

@@Andy1997civic Meh, I sold all mine not too long after this comment and took a real nice profit. Haven't got back into Timken. Just in US Steel/X and Helca Mining for right now in that sector.

I thought bottom-pouring was obsolete, and continuous casting was now the standard process?

[@etniesfreak545]

Faircrest has a caster and bottom pour.

I used to work in a billet caster in the 90s. I was told some places want bottom pour steel as apposed to cast steel. Not sure why.

[@frphxkaboom3008]

@@James-eu2mm I worked in Fords EAF in the early 90's. We did some bottom pour but the set up time made it more expensive and then you have a heat of specialty steel in ingots. We shut down our soaking pits and slabbing mill stand because of the added expense. Sending our heats to ladle met at the caster for final adjustments. Ford shut down their EAF, then they sold the mill.....money ..money ...money.

[@jonny-b4954]

@@frphxkaboom3008 Only reason anyone is doing any of that though is money. So I mean, it does make sense to a point. It's just the greed of constantly needing to show growth quarter after quarter for these public companys... if you ain't growing you're stagnating and that's just terrible in the eyes of the market. Just how it it is. It's a shame though, really is.
