Hollow forging product types

Manufacturing routes
by hollow geometry.

Bore geometry, wall section, material, heat treatment, machining allowance and inspection level are reviewed as one manufacturing route. These are drawing-based manufacturing capabilities, not stocked catalogue products.

01

Hollow Cylinder Forgings

Open-die forged hollow cylinders supplied as-forged, rough machined or finish machined to an approved drawing.

02

Forged Cylinders

Custom cylinders developed around finished OD, bore, length, material properties and service requirements.

03

Heavy-Wall Cylinders

Thick-section cylinders reviewed for forging soundness, heat-treatment response and through-wall inspection.

04

Forged Sleeves

Heavy sleeves for machinery, pressure equipment and wear or support applications.

05

Forged Shell Sections

Shell and vessel sections manufactured with project-specific machining stock and testing requirements.

06

Forged Pipe Sections

Seamless heavy-wall sections produced to drawing rather than standard commercial pipe dimensions.

07

Hydraulic Cylinder Barrels

Forged barrel blanks reviewed against bore machining, wall section, properties and dimensional requirements.

08

Custom Hollow Forgings

Drawing-specific hollow bodies and cylindrical components for heavy industrial equipment.

Manufacturing range

Drawing-specific
hollow forging review.

No unverified diameter, bore, length, wall thickness or weight limits are published. Engineering confirms feasibility from the drawing, material grade, section geometry, final properties, machining route and inspection requirements.

Materials

Representative hollow
forging material families.

Material availability depends on cylinder geometry, wall section, heat-treatment route, mechanical properties and sourcing. Final grade acceptance is confirmed during engineering review.

Manufacturing process

Controlled hollow route
from billet to shipment.

The applicable piercing, forming, heat-treatment and inspection route is established from the approved drawing, material grade and project ITP.
