With thousands of
tools in stock at our hammer and press plants, Scot Forge
can produce simple or complex hub forgings approaching closed
die configurations. These forgings are available in an infinite
variety of sizes from 3" to 124" diameter. Hub
weights can range from 5 lbs. to 80,000 lbs., and can
be ordered in quantities as low as a single piece in ferrous
or non-ferrous materials
To make these parts,
we upset material in one or more tools to achieve the desired
shape. As the material fills the tool or tools, directional
grain flow is produced, giving strength, ductility and resistance
to impact and fatigue.
By using this loose tooling
method, we can forge small quantities of parts to near net
shapes, making this process ideal for prototypes and short
run requirements. Our extensive tooling capabilities and
know-how also enable us to offer fast turnaround and on-time
guarantees, oftentimes providing a more cost-effective
solution than machined bar, weldments, or closed die forgings.
