Metal forming :Hot forging
Hot Forging Technology by Weforging Manufacturing
At Weforging, we specialize in custom hot forging of critical industrial components such as shafts, gears, and fasteners, serving OEMs across Europe and North America. Our vertically integrated facility offers CNC machining, gear finishing, and mechanical assembly, delivering forged parts ready for use in demanding engineering applications.
What is Hot Forging?
Hot forging is a metal forming process conducted above the recrystallization temperature of the material (typically between 1100–1250°C for steel). This method allows us to shape complex geometries, improve internal grain structure, and enhance toughness for heavy-load applications.
Key Benefits:
– Excellent plasticity and formability
– Enhanced fatigue and impact resistance
– Ideal for large and heavy-duty components
– More economical for medium-to-large batch production
Our hot forging processes include open-die forging, closed-die forging, and precision near-net shape forging.

- Drilling, tapping, turning, milling, and threading
- 3-axis to 5-axis CNC centers, including vertical and horizontal lathes
This ensures both strength and dimensional precision in a single workflow.
Gear and Shaft Manufacturing from Hot Forgings
We deliver high-precision forged gears and shafts engineered for demanding transmission systems. Our capabilities include:
Gear blank forging and hobbing – Producing durable blanks with precise tooth geometry for efficient power transmission.
Custom forged shafts – Manufactured with splines, threads, and keyways to ensure reliable fit and performance in industrial machinery.
Heat treatment and grinding – Enhancing wear resistance, surface hardness, and long-term durability under heavy loads.
All products are manufactured in compliance with ISO 6336, AGMA, and DIN standards, ensuring global quality recognition and reliable performance for OEM applications.
Applications of Hot Forged Parts
Our forged components are applied across multiple industries:
Heavy machinery – Construction, agriculture, and mining equipment rely on forged parts for strength and durability.
Automotive – Axles, steering components, and hubs require precision-forged solutions to ensure safety and performance.
Energy sector – Wind turbine gear hubs and valve blocks demand high load capacity and long service life.
Industrial OEM machinery – Gearboxes, hydraulic cylinders, and custom assemblies benefit from reliable forged and machined components.
To guarantee performance, each part undergoes strict quality inspection, including ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle inspection (MT), hardness measurement, and dimensional verification with CMM equipment.
