Casting is quite an ancient process compared to forging. It was a technical advancement when swords were forged rather than just cast and sharpened. However, casting – especially machined castings – is still preferred when you have very large cross-sections for which forging would require an enormous amount of force. Both forging and machined castings […]

Global sourcing is used as part of the purchasing process to obtain materials and goods from nations other than one’s own in order to obtain specific benefits. This is owing to the fact that, depending on their level of development, various countries charge different prices for the same products and services. Another aspect that adds […]

A lot of industries know by now that open die forging can measurably decrease the costs of materials, as it needs less starting stock to create several part shapes. Hence, less machining is required to achieve a specific metal component with the added assistance of lesser lead time.Likewise, it has the ability to reduce wear […]

Open die forging is known to have the most demanding applications in the metal industry. It is used because of the several features it contributes, such as near net shape materials and improved structural integrity. Read on to know the typical open die forging applications. Applications and Benefits of Open Die Forging Applications Forging metals […]

Rolled ring forging, closed die forging, and open die forging are three of the most common metalworking processes. Although they are all forging methods, they are also all different. It is important to be able to tell these processes apart in order to determine which fits your specific needs. To help you out, here is […]

When you use open die forging is combined with closed die forging in your tailored forging process, you can optimize time and cost savings. How Hybrid Forging Works In order to move material more efficiently, hybrid forgers can use less tonnage in a prescribed manner instead of pushing 100% of the material’s surface area. This […]

Rolled ring forgings are needed for several types of applications. The use of metal components may vary in size, thickness, and diameter. If you want to achieve a strong, durable, and cost-effective metal ring for your project, there are forging processes you need to be aware of. These processes include rolled ring forgings and plate […]

There are various materials that can be used to create forged parts and components. Inconel, cobalt alloys, titanium, nickel, and steel are just a few of the innumerable forging materials. Which one you choose all depends on the specific application of your desired part. Below are the properties and categories of steel forgings you may […]
