Our Closed Die Forging process
Closed die forging is an advanced method of drop forging involves shaping metal within the confines of specially designed dies, ensuring your product meets detailed specifications with ease. The process starts by placing raw metal in a die attached to an anvil. A hammer die then strikes the work-piece, dispersing the metal to fill any cavity gaps and reshape it precisely.
This technique may require multiple forging dies before the component is completed, resulting in parts with precise dimensions, intricate details, and superior mechanical properties.
Advantages of closed die forging
- Precision Engineering: Achieves high precision and tight tolerances; allows for intricate geometries essential for industries like aerospace and automotive; ensures reproducibility for mass production.
- Superior Strength: Aligns grain flow to follow part contours, improving mechanical properties, Providing superior tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and durability. Suitable for critical applications requiring high load-bearing capacity.
- Cost-Effective Solutions: Cost-effective for large production runs with long tool life, requiring minimal secondary machining and finishing, reducing overall costs. Efficient material use also contributes to financial savings.
- Waste Reduction: Produces near-net shape parts, minimising excess material whilst also maximising raw material utilisation with less scrap; supports sustainable manufacturing practices and recyclability.
