A method for manufacturing a blade, the method includes casting a nickel alloy blade precursor having an airfoil and a root. The airfoil and the root are solution heat treating differently from each other. After the solution heat treating, the root is wrought processed. After the wrought processing, an exterior of the root is machined.

A forge and method of forging is provided. The forge converts an asymmetric railroad rail to a symmetric railroad rail through a combination of vertical and horizontal forging operations. The rail is linearly translated to heating and forging stations on a roller table. The asymmetric to symmetric conversion can be completed without the need for reorienting the rail except along a single translational axis.
