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.

A cold rolled and recovered TWIP steel sheet is provided having an austenitic matrix including by weight: 0.71<C<1.2%, 13.0Mn<25.0%, S0.030%, P0.080%, N0.1%, 0.1Si3.0%, 0.1V2.50%, and on a purely optional basis, one or more elements such as Cu5.0%, Al4.0%, Nb0.5%, B0.005%, Cr1.0%, Mo0.40%, Ni1.0%, Ti0.5%, 0.06Sn0.2%, the remainder of the composition being made of iron and inevitable impurities resulting from elaboration.
