Benefits of Forging Vs. Other Methods of Metal Forming Production

Custom forging offers several advantages compared to other methods of machining for hub, spindle, and step shaft production. Our processes provide higher quality parts compared to pieces machined from bar stock. Machined castings from bar stock tend to have lower structural integrity, leading to cracking and part failure. In contrast, our custom-forged hubs, spindles, and step shafts are strong, durable, and have a much longer life span.

At Great Lakes Forge, our in-house machine shop and heat treatment facility save on secondary operations, increasing production quality and efficiency. When viewed side by side, it is difficult to visually distinguish between a forging piece and a piece machined from bar stock, but the intrinsic advantages of forging are evident.

• Improved microstructure
• Reduced downtime because of premature failures
