forgings

Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. When it comes to forging, there are four main ways to forge a part. Those four are impression die forging, cold forging, open die forgings, and seamless rolled ring forging. Let’s take a look at each type of the four main […]

The forging industry has come a long way from using inefficient processes and antiquated applications. Today, we see forging engineering in various industries including machinery, construction, automotive, agricultural, oilfield equipment, and so much more. Although there are numerous options for metal deformation using the forging concept, the most widely-applied processes are closed and Open Die […]

Whether you’re going for a walk, heading to your office, or riding a bus on your way home, forged steel always makes its appearance. Steel forgings are made out of alloying carbon and iron. Forged steel is produced under extremely high, yet accurate, pressure. It has better ductility than other manufactured steel, possesses fatigue strength, […]

Defects in steel forgings are often left out because they’re either hard to spot or because manufacturers rely too much on machined forgings. A lot of these defects usually come from the raw materials used in making the forgings.  Imperfections in steel forgings are considered to be defects, ranging from unfilled sections to surface cracking. […]

In the metalworking industry, forging is a widely used process that allows the transformation of raw materials forms into robust and complex components. Among the various forging techniques, two popular methods stand out: open die forging and closed die forging. While both techniques share the common goal of shaping metal through controlled deformation, they differ […]

Do you need parts for your flanges? Are you trying to work on a pressure vessel connections forging projects? If your answer is yes to these questions, you’ll need to know more about seamless rolled ring forgings that are made of steel because they’re perfect for both situations. How Forged Steel Rings are Made The […]

Robert Downey Jr. thrilled fans as the brilliant, wealthy, playboy, and philanthropist Tony Stark for more than ten years. It was evident from his early auditions that he could capture the essence of the role, so it was no surprise that he became one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s biggest stars. However, did you know […]

When a company sources materials or products from another country, it is engaging in global sourcing. There are a number of advantages to global sourcing, including increased competition, lower production costs, and access to a wider variety of goods. Why Is Global Sourcing So Significant? Increased Competition Global sourcing can help increase healthy competition between […]

You may have wondered about how castings investment or investment casting would benefit the manufacturer, the designer, and the end user. If you’re new to this concept, castings investment is a process of creating metal parts by pouring metal into hollow mold shells which are made out of ceramic materials that are built around wax […]

When it comes to forging, there are primarily two types that come to mind. Open die forging and closed die forging are two great ways to produce the products you need for your next project. Open-Die Forgings Open-die forgings also are known as free forging, given that the die is not closed like in closed […]
