Forging Services

Bolster Repair and Refurbishing An important component of press forging is bolster repair. Repair bolsters are cleaned and inspected to determine which component parts need to be reworked or replaced. After necessary repairs are made, bolsters are returned to customer's forging specifications and tolerances.	Frame Machining and Repair Used frames are sandblasted and inspected for cracks and wear. All frame areas - guide pockets, top and base surfaces - are machined as a matched pair. Superior has the patterns and capabilities to furnish new cast steel frames.

CNC Machining High-speed, high-precision CNC machining centers provide Superior with ultra flexibility and cost-efficient production capability on forging products.	Forging Hammer Rams New forged or cast-to-shape rams are manufactured for hammers rated up to 50,000 pounds. Superior also reconditions worn or cracked rams by welding, stress-relieving, and remachining all critical services.

Flame Cutting Close tolerance single and multiple burn-outs are produced on Superior's computer-programmed, multi-torch flame cutting machines. Superior's ability to flame cut from customer's drawings saves machining time and costs while expediting delivery.	Welding Superior's welding craftsmen use MIG, TIG, and submerged-arc welding in manufacturing and repairing forging hammer and press components.
