We're proud to bring over 90 years of forging excellence to every project, ensuring parts that stand the test of time and extreme conditions. Our commitment to precision and durability makes us a trusted partner in demanding sectors.
Understanding Industrial Forging
Industrial forging is a specialized manufacturing process where metal is shaped using compressive forces from hammers, presses, or rolling equipment. Typically performed at high temperatures, this process strengthens the metal, enhances its durability, and improves its grain structure, resulting in components far superior to those made through casting or machining alone.Unlocking Performance: Benefits of Industrial Forging
Choosing industrial forging for your components offers significant advantages that impact performance and longevity.- Superior Strength: Forging refines the metal's grain structure, eliminating porosity and voids found in castings.
- Enhanced Durability: The process creates a continuous grain flow, leading to improved impact resistance and fatigue strength.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Near-net shape forging, like our success with pinions, can reduce material waste and subsequent machining.
- Reliability: Forged parts are inherently more dependable, crucial for critical applications.
