Contact SupplierGreat Lakes Forge can produce forged steel shafts weighing up to 6,000 lbs. Our steel forging lead times are the best in the industry, often 2-3 times faster than our larger competitors. As a smaller forging facility, we have greater flexibility in our production, which helps make our fast turnarounds possible. In addition, due to forged steel's superior characteristics, the forged steel shafts we create are of far higher quality than shafts machined from bar stock.
Our forged steel shafts are created from sound-center billet which is superior to bar stock in numerous ways including:
Increased Strength
Greater Ductility
Better Resistance to Fatigue
Since our base material is better quality than that of stock, our customers receive better quality forged steel shafts. At Great Lakes Forge we have the inventory and the capabilities to create forged steel shafts with carbon & alloy steels at maximum size capacities including:
1045
4140
4150
4340
We can also create forge steel shafts in smaller sizes in any of the over 200 materials we work with, including multiple grades of stainless steel.
