Custom Forged Components for Industrial Applications
Milwaukee ForgeTech manufactures custom forged steel components for industrial applications that require strength, durability, and reliable performance. We use hammer forging and press forging, also known as closed-die forging, to produce parts designed for demanding conditions.
With more than 100 years of forging experience, our team works directly with engineers, OEM manufacturers, and procurement teams to develop components that meet application requirements and perform reliably in service.
We produce carbon and alloy steel (AISI 4140 and AISI 8620) forgings at our Milwaukee, Wisconsin facility, supporting short- to medium-volume production with part weights ranging from approximately 2 to 100 pounds.
If you have a drawing or specification, our team can review your project and recommend the best forging approach.

What Are Custom Forged Components?
Custom forged components are steel parts formed by shaping heated metal under compressive force using forging hammers or presses. In closed-die forging, the metal flows into a die cavity shaped like the final component, producing a near-net-shape part that requires minimal machining.
Forged components are commonly used in applications where parts must withstand repeated loading, impact, vibration, and other demanding operating conditions. The forging process strengthens the steel and improves grain flow, making it well suited for high-stress environments.
Why Choose Custom Forged Components?
Custom forged components offer several advantages for industrial manufacturers.
High strength for demanding applications
Forging improves the internal structure of steel, producing components that perform reliably under heavy loads and repeated stress.
Custom geometry for application-specific performance
Parts are produced to customer specifications, allowing engineers to match component geometry to load, stress, and operating conditions.
Reduced machining
Near-net-shape forging reduces material waste and minimizes secondary machining.
Consistent quality
Disciplined manufacturing and inspection processes ensure reliable, repeatable components.
Custom Forged Components We Manufacture
Milwaukee ForgeTech produces a wide range of custom forged components, including:
forged shafts

Forging Capabilities
We manufacture custom components using multiple forging methods to match part geometry, tolerances, and production requirements.
Closed-Die Forging or Press Forging
Uses precision dies and controlled compressive force to form near-net-shape components with strong grain flow, tighter tolerances, and reduced machining.
Hammer Forging
Uses repeated blows to shape heated steel. Well suited for short- to medium-run production and complex shapes.

We manufacture custom forged components for applications across:
These industries require components that perform reliably under high loads and demanding conditions.
Quality and Secondary Services
Quality is built into every step of our forging process.
Our capabilities include:
in-process and final inspections
dimensional verification
magnetic particle inspection
metallurgical testing
We also provide secondary services such as machining, heat treatment, and finishing to support complete component production.
Beyond Forging
In addition to forging, Milwaukee ForgeTech can help manage machining, heat treatment, finishing, coating, plating, inventory management, and related manufacturing services to simplify sourcing and help deliver finished components from a single trusted partner.
Many customers require additional processing after forging. By managing multiple stages of production through a single point of contact, Milwaukee ForgeTech helps streamline the path from raw material to finished component.
