Lawndale Forge-hat bending and forged parts

Forged Shapes

Open die forgings have low tooling costs but are consistent enough to machine easily.  We offer many variations to fit individual situations and can produce replacements from samples or sketches.  Our skills allow us to combine changes in size and cross section, tapers, balls, pads, offsets, and bends on a single piece.

Our equipment and tooling makes it easy to change the cross section of a rectangle to a round.

A unique combination of forging, riveting, and machining. Note that the blue jig rivet rotates in the green limiter plate.


These parts have been upset forged and hammered for optimal grain flow and superior strength.
