Off Highway Forging

In the off-highway industry, any equipment used must offer a reliable performance in unpredictable and rugged environments. To meet the rigorous requirements of these industries, manufacturers use forgings to produce strong and durable machine parts.

Strength and toughness are the main requirements of products used in the off-highway industry. The strength of a forging comes from optimised grain flow and uniform grain formation whereas the durability comes from the properties of the alloy steel used in its production.

Forged products offer a number of advantages over parts produced through other production methods, including;

·Stronger parts as the metal is shaped during the forging process its grain texture deforms, refining and redirecting to follow the general shape of the part. This results in continuous texture variation throughout the part, producing improved strength characteristics and impact resistance.

·Cost saving compared to casting and fabrication, forging is a more cost-effective process when considering the costs incurred during the overall product lifecycle.

·Reliability and longevity forging is ideal for applications where reliability of each part is critical.The structural reliability of forged parts makes them trusted across a range of sectors.

·Versatile design  forging can produce a diverse range of parts, from ring configurations, shaft and simple bar to specialised shapes
