Request Information
At High-Performance Alloys, Inc. with our small bar forging capabilities, we supply bar stock composed of wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and high-temperature alloys. We produce bar in the hot or cold worked condition to achieve a wide array of mechanical properties. Our services are tailored for small to medium sized production runs, which allows customers to order the exact amount of bar stock required for projects that are too small for mill quantities. Along with producing bar stock in custom, non-standard sizes, we convert your slow moving or excess inventory into stock sizes that are more useful.

We operate a 4-die forging machine, which produces more force in the center of the bar to minimize the number of strokes needed to achieve the desired size and shape. Flexible operation and rapid adjustment enable us to process an extensive range of forging stock. Our hot worked or cold reduced bar stock features improved mechanical strength and a finer grain structure. We can produce bar in lengths from 40" to 360" with round, square, or rectangular profiles. Minimum size is 0.5" in width or diameter, and maximum size is 3" in height or diameter. By supplying you with small bar stock with the desired dimensions, you avoid the expense of having to turn or grind away excess material. Along with as-hot rolled and cold worked bar, we supply annealed and precipitation hardened condition material.

As a manufacturer and distributor of high-performance alloys, we have a significant amount of material in inventory at all times. This allows us to react quickly when your order arrives, and we turn jobs around very fast. We can supply you with quantities as small as a single bar of specially processed materials for prototyping and R&D purposes or low to mid volumes to supplement your inventory if it is approaching unexpectedly low levels. Our small bar forging services save you money through optimized performance properties and yield. Contact us directly to learn more.

Production Method

Production Method

N/A Cold (Cold forging involves either impression die forging or true closed die forging with lubricant and circular dies at or near room temperature.)

Hammered (Forging with the hammer is carried out in a succession of die impressions using repeated blows.)

Open Die (In open die forging, the workpiece is not completely confined as it is being shaped by the dies. The open die process is commonly associated with large parts such as shafts, sleeves and disks, but part weights can range from 5 to 500,000 lb.)

Press (The process in which a slow continuous pressure is applied to the area to be forged. The pressure will extend deep into the material and can be completed either cold or hot.)

Rotary (Rotary forging produces hollow tube forging, with dimensional control comparable to a machined press forging. A heated preform is transferred to the rotary forging machine, where it is automatically forged into a hollow tube, using numerical control. The machine uses a mandrel to control the internal diameter and concentric hammers.)

Warm (The temperature range for the warm forging of steel runs from above room temperature to below the recrystallization temperature, or from about 800 to 1,800 ºF.)
