Forged Marine Shaft

Forged Marine Shaft

There is a wide variety of shaft forgings. According to their different structures and functions, they can be divided into solid shafts, hollow shafts, half shafts, stepped shafts, spline shafts, cross shafts, eccentric shafts, crankshafts, camshafts, and so on. These shaft components play the role of supporting transmission parts and transmitting torque in machines. They are a common type of part in machines and indispensable components in mechanical engineering. Their quality and performance directly affect the operation effect and service life of the entire mechanical system. Therefore, in the manufacturing process of shaft forgings, strict control over material selection, heat treatment, and processing technology is required to ensure that the quality and performance of the products reach the optimal state.

Forging equipment: Hydraulic press

Processing property: Hot forging

Processing material: According to customer requirements

Processing basis: Based on drawings, samples provided by customers, or designed according to functional requirements

Application scope: Forgings are suitable for cranes, transportation, nuclear power, marine use, industry, bridges, aerospace, etc.

Carbon Steel Shaft Forgings: Mainly used in fields such as automobiles, cranes, large-scale machinery, and metallurgical equipment. The materials are mainly high-quality carbon steels like 35#, 45#, and 50#. After heat treatment, they possess excellent comprehensive mechanical properties and have a wide range of application scenarios.

Alloy Steel Shaft Forgings: Mainly applied in industries including automobiles, cranes, machine tool manufacturing, large-scale machinery, metallurgical equipment, and power generation. The commonly used materials are alloy steels such as 40Cr, 42CrMo, and 35CrMo. After quenching and tempering (modulation treatment), these alloy steel shaft forgings exhibit outstanding comprehensive mechanical properties. They are often used in occasions where large forces are applied, axial dimensions and weight are restricted, or certain special requirements are required.

Low Alloy Steel Shaft Forgings: Primarily used in areas like automobiles, cranes, machine tools, metallurgical equipment, and power generation. The main materials include Q235, Q245, Q345, etc. This type of shaft forgings is usually employed in situations with small loads or non-critical applications. Representative products include high-speed gear shafts and idler shafts for machine tools and presses; transmission shafts for fans; thrust shafts, intermediate shafts, and stern shafts for ships; as well as important forgings in hydropower station equipment such as turbine shafts and hydro-generator shafts.
