Forged Connecting Rods: Enabling Reliable Power Transmission in High-Performance Engines

The connecting rod is a critically stressed engine component. Forged connecting rods are essential for high-revving, high-output engines due to their unmatched fatigue strength, material consistency, and precise weight control.

Core Advantages of Forging:

• Superior Fatigue & Impact Strength: Aligned grain flow drastically increases durability under cyclic loads.

• Excellent Material Uniformity: Eliminates defects like porosity, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.

• Precise Weight & Balance Control: Enables tight weight grouping for optimal engine balance and reduced vibration.

• Full Traceability: Complies with high standards like AS9100D, mandatory for aerospace and premium powertrains.

Key Specifications

Procurement Guidance

1. Specify material grade and required post-heat treatment properties (hardness/strength per AMS/SAE standards).

2. Define weight grouping tolerance for the rod assembly.

3. Require 100% Non-Destructive Testing (e.g., Magnetic Particle or Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection).
