Forged Hub Process Highlights
The thousands of in-stock tools at our Franklin Park hammer shop and press plants capabilities provide the ability for us to produce both simple and complex hubs as near-net shaped forgings. During the forging process, material fills the tool or tools and directional grain flow is produced, giving the hub improved strength, ductility and resistance to impact and fatigue.
Infinite Variety of Sizes
Sizes range from 3" to 144" in diameter. With no minimums for stocking grades, you can order single-piece or large quantities of products varying from a few pounds to 300,000 lbs., which we can achieve through the capabilities of our joint venture, North American Forgemasters, where we have the ability to create over-sized forgings.
Cost-Effective
Our practices reduce stock, improve mechanical capabilities and limit additional machining, making it ideal for prototypes and short-run requirements. Working with our technically trained sales staff, we are oftentimes able to provide a more cost-effective solution than a machined bar, weldments or closed die forgings, all while staying within your specific time constraints.
