For linkage assemblies and hot-formed rods with too many operations for a wire former, and too much welding and presswork for the 4-slide supply base.
Upset forging adds material or forms ends on bar, flat bar and tube where you would otherwise weld on a feature or add machining. By moving metal under heat instead, it reduces waste, simplifies the design and produces durable per-print components for demanding OEM applications.
A representative example is a grab handle for a construction-equipment machine, run 250 pieces at a time. The operation sequence is swaging, then upset forging, then threading, then powder coating, all kept together so the part moves from raw bar to finished, coated component under one roof.
Although roughly 97% of what we work with is carbon steel, our forging niche holds true for stainless steel and aluminum as well. If anything, those materials broaden our niche, because fewer shops are willing or able to work with and source them.
