Abstract: Workloads, as defined by customers, are tracked on an individual basis. This tracking enables a customer to identify the amount of resources consumed by a particular workload. The customer defines the workload to be tracked, and that workload is tracked using a Unit of Work value. The Unit of Work value ensures that there is an accounting for the resources attributable to that workload.

Abstract: A method of forming forgings having controlled grain characteristics and reduced residual stresses. In accordance with the method the amount of stock used for a particular forging preferably only slightly exceeds the amount of stock for the finished forging, with the blocking operating being controlled and performed so that the maximum flash anywhere on the part after the finishing operation and prior to trimming does not exceed a specified limit. Specifically, for the preferred method there should be a substantially equal amount of flash movement through the parting line of the finishing die around the entire periphery of the part, not exceeding a one-to-one ratio in the metal movement width through the flash land to the flash land width of the finishing die. Such control avoids excessive localized flow in the adjacent region of the forged part to avoid localized unfavorable material characteristics as a result thereof.
