Custom Open-Die Forgings for the Mining Industry
Mining stone, metal, and minerals has been a primary method of resource production for thousands of years. Today, the mining industry reaches all world regions, relying on powerful mining equipment to extract resources such as petroleum, natural gas, and countless valuable minerals. To reach the desired commodity, drill bits, excavators, and other heavy equipment must often dig through rock layers and other hard, dense materials. This work's rigorous nature requires extremely tough mining equipment with enough strength and durability to withstand the wear of drilling and excavation.
A Leading Manufacturer of Custom Mining Forged Parts
As a leading manufacturer of custom open-die forgings in the toughest industrial sectors, Great Lakes Forge produces equipment used across the mining industry. We create individual forgings up to 4,000 lbs, 18" in diameter & thickness and 120" in length. With our industry-leading open-die forging capabilities, we can produce custom parts in almost any shape from nearly 100 materials. Our open-die process results in forgings that are far stronger and more durable than cast or machined parts.
The Benefits of Open-Die Forging Mining Equipment
Because mining equipment faces extreme wear and tear, each component must be crafted for superior performance. Open-die forging offers several key benefits to ensure these pieces of equipment achieve the strength and longevity requirements needed in mining environments. Benefits of mining forged parts include:
- Superior strength: The forging process enhances the material's strength, allowing parts to withstand the heavy impact and pressure common in mining operations.
- Increased toughness and durability: Forged parts are more resilient and can handle higher levels of stress without fracturing or deforming.
- Versatility in design: Open-die forging allows for custom shapes and sizes, making it easier to create parts that fit the exact requirements of each mining application.
Materials Used for Mining Forged Parts
Mining operations require parts made from the toughest materials. That's why we work with a wide range of high-strength metals to meet the demands of your specific mining application. Our in-stock inventory includes superior-performance materials like 13-8 Stainless Steel, providing outstanding corrosion resistance, strength, and versatility, along with other stainless and carbon steel grades, alloy steel, and more. The team at Great Lakes Forge will help you identify the best material options for your mining requirements.
