Forging

At Shanghai Michigan, high-quality raw materials are the key to producing durable, precise and efficient gears. We understand the importance of steel in gear manufacturing and work closely with our customers to determine the best steel grade for their specific needs. Whether it's carbon steel or alloy steel, our team of experts are well versed in selecting the right material for the job.

Our large warehouse with approximately 500 tons of raw material allows us to start gear production almost immediately. This means we can quickly turn around projects and start in-house forging or heat treating processes while our competitors are still looking for material suppliers. However, we recognize that not all mills are created equal and that the quality of their steel can vary widely. That's why we only work with reputed steel mills such as ArcelorMittal, Nisshin Steel, OVAKO, Sumitomo, CITIC (Xingcheng Steel) and Baosteel to ensure we use high quality, consistent and reliable raw materials to build our Quality product gear.
