Custom Forged Stainless Steel Fluid Ends

Stainless steel fluid ends are components in high-pressure pumps responsible for moving fluid. These components are subjected to extreme stress and wear due to high-pressure operation and abrasive nature. Because stainless steel features advanced corrosion resistance and durability, it is an exceptional material for manufacturing fluid ends.

Advantages of Open Die Forged Stainless Steel Fluid Ends

Open-die forging provides distinct advantages over alternative methods for manufacturing stainless steel fluid ends. A stainless steel fluid end produced through the open-die forging process results in greater strength and reliability than an identical fluid end manufactured from bar stock or other methods. With a continuous grain flow, our forged fluid ends set the standard for strength, consistency, and quality. Advantages of stainless steel fluid ends include:

• Greater strength and ductility
• Higher fatigue resistance
• Finer grain size
• Continuous grain flow
• Improved microstructure
