Forged vs. Billet
If you are not familiar with the difference between billet and forged, we will explain how forging improves the strength of a connecting rod. A forged rod starts with an extruded metal or billet. The billet is placed into a die and hammered into a near-finished shape. The forging reshapes the grain structure of the billet from straight lines into the contour of the part. The reshaping of the grain structure improves the ductility, which is the component's ability to flex before breaking. The hammered part is also denser to make the overall rod stronger.
The Rods are fully CNC machines for a bright aluminum finish and accuracy.
