Forging Processes Available with B.B. Price
At B.B. Price, aluminium components can be manufactured using several established forging techniques depending on the product design and application requirements.
Hand Forging
Hand forging, sometimes referred to as blacksmithing, is a traditional technique used to create bespoke components. This method allows skilled craftsmen to shape heated metal to precise requirements and is often used for specialist or custom parts.
Drop Forging
Drop forging uses a hammer and die system to shape heated aluminium into the required form. This method produces components with high structural integrity and is commonly used for larger or repeat production runs.
Upset Forging
Upset forging compresses the end of a heated bar to increase its thickness and strength. This technique is often used to produce components such as fasteners, connectors and structural fittings that require enhanced durability.
Each forging method is selected based on the design, size and structural requirements of the finished component.
Sectors We Supply
B.B. Price supplies forged aluminium components to a variety of industrial sectors throughout the UK. Much of our work supports infrastructure projects, where components need to perform reliably in challenging all-weather conditions.
Aluminium forging is often relied on by sectors where components need to be both strong and lightweight, while also offering good resistance to corrosion and long-term wear. Sectors we regularly supply to at B.B. Price include:
