Hot forging
The LoneStar Group provides comprehensive hot-forging services for high-strength, high-integrity components.
Able to work across a breadth of materials, tolerances and specifications, our approved and accredited hot-forged parts support the world’s most demanding industries with proven quality.
Forging long-term strength and fatigue resistance
Hot forging is a manufacturing process that heats metallic materials before being shaped by compressive force into the required dimensional form. This is used to create headed bolting, as well as associated specific fasteners and components.
The heating and forming process refines the metal’s internal grain structure to enhance its mechanical properties, resulting in finished parts that deliver superior strength, toughness and fatigue resistance when used in association with post heat treatment technologies.
