Outside diameters for seamless rings can range from 2 to 110 inches. They can also weigh as little as one pound or as much as 50,000 pounds. To produce these parts, a donut-shaped component is made by piercing a metal preform with a circular shape. The part is heated beyond […]

Open die forging, wherein the die only comes in contact with part of the workpiece at a time, is distinct from closed die forging. The latter has high initial costs for establishing fool-proof processes and tools, but it is the most cost-effective forging technique for bulk production. The reason is […]
