Free Forged Intermediate Shaft for Industrial Drive Train Systems.
Our free forged intermediate shafts are engineered to withstand
high torque transmission and fluctuating loads in industrial drive
train systems. Manufactured from high-performance alloy steels like
42CrMo and 20CrMnTi, these shafts deliver superior mechanical
strength, fatigue resistance, and long-term reliability in
demanding environments such as mining, metallurgy, wind energy, and
heavy machinery.
Key Features:
Material Options: 42CrMo, 20CrMnTi, 45# — providing excellent tensile strength,
toughness, and hardenability for rotational applications under
dynamic torque.
Forging Process: Open-die (free) forging ensures directional grain flow along the
shaft axis, minimizing internal flaws and enhancing torsional
strength and impact resistance.
Precision Machining: Capable of producing stepped profiles, splined ends, keyways, and
flanged sections according to customer drawings and tolerances.
Typical Applications:
Intermediate shafts in heavy-duty gearboxes and transmission
assemblies
Torque transmission systems for mining, marine propulsion, and
steel rolling equipment
Power take-off and drive shafts in large mechanical or hydraulic
equipment

| Manufacturing Process | Hot Forging → Heat Treatment → Ultrasonic Testing → Rough /
Semi-Finish Machining → Final Dimensional & Surface Inspection |
| Forging Ratio | ≥ 3.0 — This forging method promotes an aligned grain structure along the shaft axis. This isn't just a technical detail; it directly enhances torsional strength, improves impact resistance, and
significantly boosts the operational longevity of the component. It means your shafts are built to last longer
and perform better under extreme stress. |
| Applications | - Intermediate shafts in gearboxes and industrial drive train
systems- Torque transfer shafts in mining, wind turbine gear
trains, and metallurgy- Power transmission components in heavy-duty
construction and marine machinery |
| Heat Treatment Options | - Quenched + Tempered for high strength, wear resistance, and
fatigue endurance- Normalizing for grain refinement and improved
dimensional control- Optional stress-relief annealing to reduce
internal stress and machining distortion |
| Testing & Inspection | - Chemical: Alloy composition checked by spectrometer- Mechanical: Tensile, yield, hardness, and Charpy impact tests (axial &
transverse)- Ultrasonic (UT): 100% internal flaw detection- Dimensional: Runout, straightness, diameter tolerance, concentricity, and

The steel forgings production flow:
Raw material steel ingot into warehouse(test the chemical
composition) → Cutting→ Heating(Furnace temperature test) → Heat
treatment after forging(Furnace temperature test) Discharge the
furnace(blank inspection)→ Machining→ Inspection(UT,MT,Visal
dimension, hardness)→ QT→ Inspection(UT, mechanical properties,
hardness, grain size)→ Finish machining→ Inspection (dimension)→
Packing and Marking(steel stamp, mark)→ Storage Shipment.
