Qingdao Haozhifeng Machinery's Iron Forging Horseshoes are ISO 9001-certified equine essentials crafted from Grade 45 forged iron Iron Forging Horseshoes feature custom sizing for precise hoof alignment, anti-slip grooves for rugged terrain, and corrosion-resistant finishes tested in extreme climates. Our Iron Forging Horseshoes support bulk orders with flexible OEM services, backed by 30+ years of metallurgical expertise.
1. Superior Forged Iron Construction
Material: High-carbon Grade 45 forged iron with 12% manganese alloy for enhanced tensile strength (380-450 MPa).
Production Process: Hot-forged at 1,200°C for uniform density, followed by CNC-calibrated shaping to ensure perfect hoof contour alignment.
2. Advanced Functional Design
Traction Optimization: Laser-cut anti-slip horseshoe grooves (3mm depth) provide 360° grip on ice, mud, and rocky terrain.
Hoof Health Focus: Beveled edges and veterinary-approved horseshoe curvature prevent sole pressure points, reducing laminitis risks.
3. Customization Options
Sizes: Standard US 0-6 (compatible with Thoroughbreds, Clydesdales, Ponies) + custom-sized iron forging horseshoes for atypical hoof shapes.
Finishes: Choose between polished chrome (aesthetic shine) or black oxide coating (ultra corrosion-resistant).
4. Environmental Resilience
Triple-layer galvanization protects against rust, ammonia (stable environments), and acidic soils.
Operating temperature range: -40°C to 150°C, ideal for Arctic expeditions and desert ranches.
