What is Forging?
Forging is a precision manufacturing process that shapes metal using intense compressive forces, typically applied through hammering, pressing, or rolling. One of the oldest techniques in metalworking, forging is still one of the most reliable ways to produce durable, high-strength components used in aerospace, automotive, defense, and heavy industrial applications.
The Forging Process: Step-by-Step
The forging process relies on thermal and mechanical energy to mold metal into the desired shape. Unlike casting, forging enhances the grain structure of the metal, significantly improving its toughness and fatigue resistance.
Heating
The metal is heated to a precise temperature to make it malleable without compromising structural integrity.
Shaping
Using forging machines such as hammers, hydraulic presses, or rollers, the metal is shaped under high pressure into the desired geometry.
Cooling & Finishing
Once shaped, the part is cooled and undergoes heat treatment, trimming, or surface finishing to enhance performance and appearance.
Types of Forging Techniques
We offer a variety of forging processes tailored to your project’s volume, complexity, and material needs:
Open-Die Forging
Ideal for large, simple components. Offers flexibility for low to medium volume production.
CClosed-Die Forging
Best for precision parts with tight tolerances and repeatability in large volumes.
Upset Forging
Used for increasing the cross-sectional area of a portion of the part, such as bolts and fasteners.
Hot and Cold Forging
Depending on your application and material, we select the appropriate method to balance formability and finish.
