Directional Strength: The forging process produces directional alignment (grain flow) for important directional properties of strength, ductility and resistance to impact and fatigue.
Impact Strength: Through proper grain flow orientation; the forging Process can develop the maximum impact strength and fatigue resistance. Possible in a metal.
Structural Integrity: As is well known, a forging’s structural reliability is Exceptional compared to other metalworking processes. There are no Internal gas pockets or voids that may cause unexpected failure underconditions of high stress or impact.
Conclusion: Forging is not the least expensive method but it is the best.
When looking for hubs, axles, spindles and similar, don't be fooled by low
Pricing that may indicate an inferior method of manufacturing. |
