Mining and Construction Forgings
Forgings for wheel loaders excavators shovels mining trucks and graders
What Mining and Construction Forgings Is and Who It Is For
All mining specific grades in carbon and alloy steels provide extended service life on equipment that runs in abrasive conditions. The programme covers wheel loader hoists, hollow tubes, spindle drives, ball and socket joints, excavator support rings and bearings, shovel swing gears, roller paths, carrier ring blanks, rims, hubs, hoist drums and lower rollers, mining truck rods, pistons, rims, ring breaks and rears, and motor grader circles, rims and spindle drives.
Key Benefits
- Grades chosen for wear life rather than for lowest material cost
- Whole machine families covered from one forging source
- Hollow tubes and rings forged rather than fabricated
- Machining and heat treatment in the same order
| Alloy steels | 4140, 4150, 4330, 4330V, 4340, 1045, 1080 |
|---|---|
| Stainless | 304 and 316 |
| Aluminium | 6061, 7050, 7075 |
| Delivery conditions | forged, normalised, rough machined, quenched, tempered |
Who It Is For
- Mining equipment rebuilders and dealers
- Construction machinery OEMs
- Mine site maintenance departments
- Aftermarket part distributors
Problems It Solves
- Aftermarket parts in the wrong grade wear out within one season
- Original equipment lead times stop a machine from returning to work
- Fabricated replacements crack at the welds under impact
Technical Features
- Mining specific carbon and alloy grades
- Forged hollow tubes and rings
- Full machining capability including large parts
- Replacement parts from a measured sample

How We Make It
Part survey or drawing review
Open die forging
Heat treatment for wear service
Machining
Dimensional
Dimensional and hardness inspection
How It Compares
A forged replacement in a mining specific grade normally outlasts a general purpose aftermarket part, which is the whole point of specifying the grade rather than the dimension alone.
Use Guide
- Send photographs and measurements of the worn part if no drawing exists
- Tell us the machine model and duty so the grade is matched
- Order wear sets together to keep the machine on one maintenance cycle
