Forging

The process of forging steel at Northland Forge Ltd. begins by cutting steel bars, which are produced at quality North American Steel Mills.

• The cut pieces are pushed through our temperature controlled forging furnace and heated to the proper forging temperature.
• The hot blanks are removed from the furnace and forged into the desired shape using one of our forging hammers and the proper die set.
• Once the part has been forged, we trim off the excess steel on a trimming press.
• The part is Hot Stamped with a unique "Heat Code" to maintain traceability.
• The part is then taken away to cool.
