Advantages of Forged Fluid Ends

A forged fluid end provides greater strength and reliability than an otherwise identical fluid end produced from bar stock or by other means. Our forged fluid ends set the standard for strength, consistency, and quality. Advantages of forged stainless steel fluid ends include:

• Continuous grain flow
• Improved microstructure
• Finer grain size
• Greater strength and ductility
• Higher fatigue resistance
