Closed Die Drop Forging Specialists
Shivam Forge is a leading drop forging manufacturer in India producing precision closed-die drop forged components from 0.1 kg to 500 kg. With 20+ years of forging experience at our Shapar GIDC facility in Rajkot, Gujarat, we supply automotive, agricultural, oil & gas, and general engineering industries across 12+ countries.
Drop forging uses high-impact compressive force through matched dies to produce components with exceptional grain flow, high dimensional repeatability, and mechanical properties that casting or machining simply cannot match. Our Shapar GIDC plant runs multiple closed-die forging hammers, trimming presses, and in-house heat treatment, enabling us to supply near-net-shape drop forgings in carbon steel, alloy steel, EN grades, and SAE grades to OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and project procurement teams worldwide.
Steering knuckles, connecting rods, crankshafts, wheel hubs, brake cams, and suspension arms forged in EN24, SAE 4140, and C45 for passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles with tolerances held to ±0.3 mm on critical dimensions.
Tractor hitch pins, implement brackets, PTO shaft yokes, cultivator tines, and drawbar couplings drop forged in EN8 and IS 2062 — engineered for high cyclic loads, soil abrasion, and field reliability without frequent replacement.
Valve bodies, flange spools, pipe connectors, drill bit shanks, and wellhead components forged in ASTM A105, AISI 4130, and F316 stainless steel. Full material traceability, mill certificates, and third-party inspection available.
Bucket pins, boom linkage pins, track shoe bolts, tilt cylinders, and ripper shanks drop forged in EN24 and SAE 4340 for excavators, bulldozers, and loader applications requiring high impact toughness.
Shackles, hooks, turnbuckles, eye bolts, clevis pins, and rigging hardware drop forged in EN8, 16MnCr5, and alloy steel — WLL-rated on request with proof-load testing and IS 2762 / BS EN 13889 documentation.
Any closed-die drop forging from your 2D drawing, 3D model, or sample part. We develop dies in-house, produce prototypes within 4–6 weeks, and scale to bulk production. Reverse engineering from physical samples also offered.
The workhorses of drop forging. EN8 (080M40) and C45 give excellent strength-to-cost ratio for shafts, pins, and general engineering components. Easily heat-treated to 650–850 MPa tensile as needed.
EN24 (817M40) and SAE 4140 (42CrMo4) for high-tensile, heat-treated drop forgings. Typical UTS of 850–1080 MPa. Standard choice for automotive steering, axle, and transmission components.
Cost-effective drop forgings for structural and non-critical applications. IS 2062 E250 delivers reliable 250 MPa yield strength, suitable for brackets, cleats, and simple hardware in large volumes.
Superior elevated-temperature strength and hardenability. Used for oil country tubular goods fittings, pressure vessel components, and high-stress industrial parts requiring consistent through-hardening.
Corrosion-resistant drop forgings for chemical processing, marine, food, and pharmaceutical equipment. We forge SS 304 and SS 316 in closed dies with controlled flash control to maintain surface integrity.
Carburizing grades for drop forged gears, cams, and wear surfaces requiring a hard case over a tough core. Typical case depth 0.8–2.0 mm after carburizing and hardening per customer specification.
We design and machine all forging dies at our Rajkot facility, cutting lead times by 30–40% versus outsourced tooling. Die life is tracked and dies are refurbished proactively to maintain dimensional consistency batch to batch.
Multiple closed-die drop forging hammers ranging from 1-tonne to 8-tonne rated capacities allow us to produce components from 0.1 kg small precision parts up to 500 kg heavy industrial forgings in a single facility.
Normalizing, annealing, quench-and-temper, and stress relieving performed in our controlled-atmosphere furnaces. Hardness verification (Brinell and Rockwell) included as standard before dispatch.
Post-forging CNC turning, VMC milling, drilling, boring, and surface grinding available for fully finished components. This single-source capability reduces your supply chain complexity and vendor count.
Every lot is covered by dimensional reports, material test certificates from NABL-accredited labs, and non-destructive testing (UT, MPT) where specified. Customers receive complete documentation with each shipment.
We supply customers in UK, Germany, UAE, USA, Australia, and across the Middle East. Custom packaging, wooden crating, sea/air freight coordination, and export documentation handled from our Rajkot facility.
Shivam Forge has been manufacturing drop forged components from Shapar GIDC, Rajkot for over 20 years, building a reputation across India and 12 export countries for consistent quality, tight tolerances, and reliable delivery. Our closed-die drop forging plant operates multiple hammer lines capable of producing components from 0.1 kg precision parts to 500 kg heavy industrial forgings, covering the full spectrum of engineering requirements from a single facility in Gujarat's premier forging belt.
The mechanical advantage of drop forging over casting or bar machining is well established in the industry. When you close-die forge a component, the grain flow follows the part contour — unlike machined parts where grain lines are cut across — resulting in 20–30% higher fatigue strength, superior impact resistance, and better surface hardness. For safety-critical parts like steering knuckles, lifting hooks, oil field fittings, and agricultural hitch components, that difference in material integrity is non-negotiable. At Shivam Forge we hold critical dimensions to ±0.3 mm and verify every lot with dimensional inspection before dispatch.
Our material capability spans carbon steel grades EN8 and C45, alloy steel EN19, EN24, and SAE 4140 (42CrMo4), case-hardening grades 20MnCr5 and 16MnCr5, mild steel IS 2062, ASTM A105 for pressure-rated components, and stainless steel F304 and F316 for corrosive environments. All raw material is sourced from approved Indian steel mills with mill test certificates. When customers require third-party material certification from NABL-accredited labs, we arrange that as part of the quality package.
Export customers from the UK, Germany, UAE, USA, and Australia regularly source drop forgings from our Rajkot plant because of the combination of price competitiveness, consistent quality, and documentation standards that match international expectations. We provide material test certificates, dimensional inspection reports, non-destructive testing results (ultrasonic or magnetic particle), and packing lists in the format buyers specify. Sea freight to European and Gulf ports typically runs 18–28 days from dispatch; air freight for urgent requirements is also coordinated from our end.

Drop forging (closed-die forging) uses a pair of matched dies containing the exact component shape. The heated billet is struck by a falling hammer, forcing metal to fill the die cavity completely. This produces near-net-shape parts with tight tolerances (±0.3 mm), high repeatability, and excellent grain flow. Open-die forging, by contrast, shapes metal between flat or simple dies and is used for very large, simple shapes where dies are impractical.
Drop forging prices depend on component weight, material grade, die complexity, heat treatment requirements, and order quantity. At Shivam Forge, we offer competitive pricing from our Rajkot facility with no hidden charges. Share your drawing and quantity for a quotation within 24 hours.

Automotive (steering, suspension, powertrain), agricultural machinery (tractors, implements), oil & gas (valves, fittings, wellheads), construction (excavator pins, linkages), material handling (hooks, shackles, lifting gear), railways, and defense are major users of closed-die drop forgings.
We drop forge carbon steel (EN8, C45), alloy steel (EN19, EN24, SAE 4140, 42CrMo4), mild steel (IS 2062), case-hardening steel (20MnCr5, 16MnCr5), and stainless steel (SS 304, SS 316, F304, F316). Other grades on request.
We accept small trial orders and prototype quantities to help customers validate designs. For production, typical MOQs start from 50–100 pieces depending on die amortization. Large-volume OEM runs are our strength — we regularly supply 10,000+ piece orders to automotive and agricultural OEMs.
