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.

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.          Upset forged 4130. .625 x 1.25 bar stock. 9/16” diameter 4140 has been bent and flattened on both ends. The center of the parts will be bent 190 degrees and the hooked ends kept within .030 tolerances after heat treating. This is a reproduction of a hollow axel for a Bugatti race car from the 1930’s. Material is 9310. Part in the foreground is a plastic cast made from an original.
