Process Value
Advantages
Suitable for metal parts with strength requirements and repeat production needs. Well-designed blanks can reduce subsequent machining and improve material utilization.
Production Capacity / 01
Forging
Metal is formed under pressure in a die, followed by machining to produce threads, holes and mating surfaces.
Applications
Typical Products
- Valve bodies
- Fittings
- Nuts
- Other metal components for sanitary applications
Process Route
Forging Methods
Cold Forging
- Features
- The required shape is achieved through plastic deformation without heating the material.
- Advantages
- Low thermal shrinkage allows stable and precise net-shape forming.
Hot Forging
- Features
- The required shape is achieved by heating the material and applying plastic deformation.
- Advantages
- The softened metal can be formed into complex shapes.
Cold Heading
- Features
- The required shape is achieved through plastic deformation without heating the material.
- Advantages
- Primarily used to manufacture small items, with faster production than forging.
