Drop hammer forging is a metal fabrication method that uses two die halves, each with opposing female impressions (much like molds), one on a stationary anvil and the other attached…
When you need strength, toughness, and integrity in a metal part, forging is usually the solution. Most metals can be forged close to their final shape, which reduces machining requirements…
While forging and casting can both produce near-net shape parts, they are two completely different metal-forming processes. The characteristics of the parts produced in each process are also different. If…
Press forging is the process of gradually changing a steel billet’s shape by compressing the steel between two large dies that are either hydraulically or mechanically manipulated. However, it’s not…
Forged components are known for their superior strength, impact resistance, and toughness. Part of this is due to the forging process itself, which involves heating the metal to a predetermined…
Compared to other manufacturing processes like machining and casting, forging is often considered superior. This is because forging improves grain structure and develops ideal grain flow in components. But, what…
Today, while women comprise one-third of the manufacturing workforce, over half of women are more likely to be working in support roles instead of holding a better paying position on…
Forging is a manufacturing process that many industries rely on. In fact, hundreds of forged components can be found in aircraft, vehicles, farming equipment, trains, mining machinery, and more. When…
Although you may not actually see them, forgings are present in just about anything that moves on land, in the air, or on the sea. In fact, many industries, including…
All types of industries rely on metal forging, which uses either impact or pressure to shape metals into a desired shape or size. Forging, however, isn’t a standardized process. There…
