Why Choose Forging?
Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of a metal through hammering, pressing, or rolling. These compressive forces are delivered with a hammer or die. Forging is often categorised according to the temperature at which it is performed — cold, warm, or hot forging.
Typical heat treatment techniques applied to our forgings include hardening, tempering, annealing, normalising, stress relieving, and solution annealing
Forging can produce a piece that is stronger than an equivalent cast or machined part. As the metal is shaped during the forging process, its internal grain texture deforms to follow the general shape of the part. As a result, the texture variation is continuous throughout the part, giving rise to a piece with improved strength characteristics. Additionally, forgings can achieve a lower total cost than casting or fabrication. Considering all the costs that are incurred in a product’s life cycle from procurement to lead time, and factoring in the costs of scrap, and downtime and other quality considerations, the long-term benefits of forgings can outweigh the short-term cost savings that castings or fabrications might offer.

Forged parts prolong the life cycle of agricultural equipment, offering the most reliable means of maintaining equipment. Though steel-cast parts can come at a lower initial cost, they lack the strength and resistance to wear provided by forged parts. Some common forged components used in the agricultural industry include:
● Sprockets
● Spacer plates
● Yokes
● Gearbox components
● Combine fingers
● Shafts
● Spindles
● Flanges
● Tie rods
● Grain augers
● Universal joints
A wide range of agricultural applications use these and other forged parts. The preference for forged parts throughout the agricultural industry relates to the advantages they provide in various applications such as:
● Tractors. Forged steel facilitates increased durability and resistance to impacts and fatigue for rotating blades, connecting rods/shafts, crankshafts, and blunt extensions used in tractors.
● Combines. Wear to high-speed moving parts due to friction and impacts is common in combine operation. Using forged steel for these parts offers increased durability for blades and other components.
● Plows. Forged steel components resist the friction wear and impact damage common to plowing operations.
● Machine engines. Torque and fatigue create wear and failure in machine engines, but forged steel extends the lifecycle of these parts and components.
