How Does Forged Step Shaft Work?

Scot Forge Advantages:

• Short times in the industry
• Wide range of stainless, carbon, and alloy steels
• Milling capabilities that bring the product closer to size at reasonable costs
• Quality controlled heat treating that produces a consistent product
• Testing capabilities to ensure quality and adhere to your requirements
• No minimum order quantities for prototypes and short-run situations
• Produce sizes that aren’t available in plate or bar stock

Reduced Material & Costs - In addition, our step shaft forging capabilities provide significant cost and material savings when compared to machining a bar to a stepped shape. We can supply step shafts and spindles precision-forged with allowance or rough-machined, which can also include drilling or boring.

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from RUNCHI.

Continuous Grain Flow & Improved Microstructure - This means your part will have finer grain size, which will reduce the chance of voids and enhance strength leading to better fatigue resistance.

Step Shaft & Rotor Shaft Process Highlights

PROCESS

The open-die forging process involves free deformation of the material through the use of flat-faced dies. This enables us to direct the grain flow throughout the product’s geometry.
