Scot Forge, a leader in open die and rolled ring forging, announces the ability to produce large fabricated gear weldments. The weldments are offered in addition to the variety of near net forged gear shapes that Scot Forge can provide including single hub, double hub, bevel gear configurations and more.

Scot Forge produces fabricated gear weldments by forging and rough machining seamless rolled rings and gear hubs, and then welding them to torch cut web plates. This allows for single-sourcing of the forging, rough machining, heat treating, and fabrication of the large weldments, eliminating the delays and quality problems that can arise with multiple suppliers.

With an extensive inventory of gear quality alloys, Scot Forge responds quickly to gear manufacturers' specifications for through-hardening, carburizing, "H" band, AMS, MIL-S-5000, AGMA, and bearing quality grades. In addition to gear weldments, Scot Forge provides single piece or high volume quantities of hubs, rings, gear blanks, sleeves, trunnions, doughnuts, shafts, hollows, or custom forgings in weights from 5 lbs. to 80,000 lbs. By combining the forging process and thousands of in-stock tools, the company produces parts with forged-in instead of machined-in steps, tapers, and I.D./O.D. dimensions.

Scot Forge's open die forging process offers many advantages in part strength and integrity over castings and plate. The directional alignment of the grain flow during forging is deliberately oriented to ensure maximum strength, as well as to provide ductility and resistance to impact and fatigue.
