Forging Advantages Embossing is expensive.

Therefore your rolls, whether solid spindles or hollow shells and headers, must be of a quality and integrity to last as long as possible. Forging offers many advantages - including longer service life - when compared to rolled bar or tubing. Near Net Shapes Our forging process allows us to offer parts closer to net shape with forged-in instead of machined-in steps. This avoids excessive material usage, unnecessary machining, and their related costs. And unlike rolled bar, forged step shafts allow for journal hardness retention after machining. Directional Grain Flow The forging process produces directional grain flow that results in superior mechanical properties. Structural Integrity Forging yields stable, homogenous parts with a refined grain structure that allows for clean, sharp engraving results, especially when compared to mechanical tubing.
