Fast Delivery and Breakdown Service
 Because
we know you can’t afford extensive delays in the field,
we deliver parts quickly. And in the case of breakdowns,
our scheduling system allows for daily entry of emergency
orders for immediate production response.
A Vast Inventory of Materials
Scot Forge maintains an extensive inventory of ferrous and
nonferrous raw material. Hydro-specific materials include
stainless,
such as F6NM, precipitation hardenable, nitronic, and the
300- and 400-series grades, as well as aluminum bronze, and
nickel aluminum bronze.
Technical Assistance and Cost Reduction
Recommendations
Our experienced metallurgists and sales engineers can offer the
most cost-effective way to produce your parts, through alternate
material options, single or reduced component forging designs
versus weldments, or other cost-savings methods.
Flexible Sizes and Shapes
You can order single piece or high volume quantities in rings,
shafts, bushings, wear strips, pins and more, in part weights
from 5 lbs. to 80,000 lbs.
Forging Advantages
Forgings provide superior performance and service life over
castings and fabrications.
Forging provides:
Structural Strength
Forgings provide unmatched structural integrity by consolidating
the ingot center. This eliminates internal voids which can
cause field failures. Their superior strength promotes part
reliability, lengthening service life.
Directional Grain Flow
The forging process produces directional grain flow that results
in improved mechanical properties. Proper orientation of grain
flow also assures maximum impact strength and fatigue resistance.
