Precision Forged Piston Rods — Durability and Performance
Weforging specializes in forged piston rods designed for strength, durability, and precision. Each component is produced through an integrated process of forging, CNC machining, and quality testing, ensuring superior fatigue resistance and dimensional accuracy. Compared with cast or welded parts, our forged pistons and rods feature continuous grain flow, refined microstructure, and long-term reliability under high stress.
Our products are widely applied in engine piston assemblies, hydraulic cylinders, and forged connecting rods for heavy machinery and energy systems. Every rod is engineered for consistent performance in demanding operating environments.
Precision Manufacturing Process
The forged piston rod process begins with high-grade alloy or carbon steel billets such as 42CrMo, 4140, or 4340. The billet is heated between 1,050°C–1,250°C, then upset forged to refine grain flow and enhance density. Controlled deformation ensures mechanical strength and internal integrity.
After forging, heat treatment — including quenching, tempering, and normalizing — further improves hardness and toughness. Precision CNC turning and polishing achieve exact dimensions, while surface finishes such as hard chrome plating or nitriding enhance corrosion resistance and fatigue life.
