Press Forging Advantages
Our employee-owners have decades of experience and the skills to produce complex open and semi-closed die forgings. Additionally, we can produce parts weighing a couple pounds up to 600,000 lbs. in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials – redundant press capacity provides added assurance for time-critical applications.
Our presses are engineered and built in-house. This design expertise enables us to have ultimate flexibility and speed throughout the forging process.
Hammer Forging Advantages
We combine the versatility of pneumatic hammers with state-of-the-art heating and manipulating equipment to produce blank, ring, dumbbell, single and double hub forgings in a wide range of shapes and sizes with more than 10,000 loose tools.
Our extensive tooling capabilities and years of experience enable us to offer low-volume prototypes and fast turnaround, often providing a superior value solution as opposed to machined bar stock, weldments or closed die forgings.
Ring Rolling Advantages
Scot Forge can provide seamless rolled rings in single-piece or high-volume quantities as large as 252” O.D., 49" face height with weights up to 65,000 lbs. Our high-tonnage Wagner ring mill allows us to produce straight or contoured rolled rings and our custom-engineered ring stretcher/sizer helps to minimize stock allowances, improve concentricity and cold-work aluminum rings.
Bar Rolling & Bar Planishing Advantages
Scot Forge offers finish rolling (or planishing), which begins as the forged bar goes through one of the four hyperbolic grooves of our custom-engineered GFM bar mill. The desired final dimension is reached after a series of bar rotations and passes through the mill.
The bar rolling/planishing process is used to produce Tartan Bars®, a unique bar product offered only by Scot Forge. These bars are produced by combining a preliminary forging process, consolidating the center with a planishing operation, which provides a smooth rolled surface. We can offer Tartan Bars from 6" to 16". Larger precision forged bars up to 63" diameter can be manufactured on our open die presses.
