Open Die Forging | Custom Medium-to-Large Forgings
At Jiangyin Liaoyuan Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., we specialize in advanced open-die forging for custom components used in heavy machinery, petrochemical, wind power, and industrial applications. These rough-formed, high-strength blanks provide an excellent foundation for subsequent machining, preserving grain integrity and mechanical performance.
We also offer further processing of these open-die forgings through rough and precision machining. Examples of finished components can be found under our Machined Shafts category, demonstrating the seamless transition from forged blank to precision-engineered shaft.
Capabilities & Highlights:
- Inhouse forging of alloy steel & carbon steel billets
- Finished weight range: 100 kg – 8 tons
- Hydraulic forging presses for shafts, blocks, and preforms
- Heat-treated for mechanical performance and structural integrity
- Full-process control ensures consistency and quality
Featured Products:
- Generator shafts and industrial motor shafts
- Planet shafts for industrial gearboxes
- Mill rolls, cylinder barrels, and structural blocks
- Custom-shaped preforms for subsequent machining
Why Liaoyuan:
We provide an integrated service, combining open die forging with optional rough or precision machining, delivering ready-to-use components for industrial and heavy-duty applications.

The Open Die Forging Advantage for Shafts:
When you choose a forged shaft from Liaoyuan, you are selecting a component engineered for reliability. The open die forging process provides definitive benefits:
- Superior Metallurgical Integrity: The intense compressive force breaks down the as-cast structure, eliminates internal voids, and creates a homogeneous, fine-grained microstructure.- Optimized Grain Flow: The metal's grain is made to flow along the shaft's length and around any forged-in features (like flanges), dramatically increasing impact and fatigue resistance compared to a machined-from-bar part.- Enhanced Mechanical Properties: Forged shafts exhibit higher strength-to-weight ratios and better overall toughness, making them ideal for withstanding shock loads and reversing stresses.
