Scot Forge, a leader in open die and rolled ring forging, has increased its capabilities to manufacture forged hollows answering a broader range of user specifications. With the addition of its 4,500-ton hydraulic open die press, Scot Forge now can produce hollows in diameters up to 70" with a 2" minimum wall thickness and up to 360" long or 80,000 pounds in weight.

Custom-forged hollows are available in straight cylindrical shapes as well as with unlimited variations in O.D./I.D. configurations including tapers, step downs, dumbbell, and closed end. Scot Forge manufactures in carbon, alloy, stainless, tool steel, copper, aluminum, and other ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.

Using their single component concept, many hollow parts, such as flanged hollows, can be produced as a single piece integral forging rather than a multiple-piece weldment-thus allowing customers to realize improved part properties while eliminating unnecessary processing operations. A custom-forged hollow also makes an excellent replacement for pipe, tubing, or solid bars that must be drilled or trepanned.
