What to Expect From Our Forging Process
Trenton Forging specializes in impression die forging and can create a wide array of symmetrical and asymmetrical forgings from steel, stainless steel, and steel alloys. Our forging press, from start to finish, includes:
- Custom Tooling Creation: We first engineer custom dies, or tooling, which is used to shape the final component. These dies are developed based on blueprints, CAD models, and other information you provide. Sample forgings and custom dies can be produced within two to three weeks. The timeline will vary based on the complexity of the order.
- Raw Material Acquisition: After you approve the final design of your custom tooling, we’ll contact one of our steel mills and order raw materials in the correct grade and diameter. When we receive the raw material, we’ll use our CNC cold saws to cut them into billets.
- Preheating & Preform: The billets are then heated to a predetermined temperature and shaped (preformed)until they fit into your custom tooling. We use an induction heating unit during preheating process to reduce waste heat.
- Forging: After the billets are preformed, we use our forging press or air-lift, gravity-drop hammers to compress the preforms until your final forgings are produced. This part of our process usually takes one to three days but will vary based on the volume of the order and the complexity of the forgings we produce for you.
- Shot Blast Cleaning: Your forgings will go through a final finishing process where we remove the flashing, cool them in a controlled environment, remove scale, and clean the part’s surface via shot blasting. The finishing process generally takes one day unless the application requires heat treatments.
- Quality Assurance: As an ISO-certified forging company, we focus on quality at every step. Before we ship your forgings, we provide comprehensive hand inspections, digital inspections, or magnetic particle inspections, depending on application requirements.
Our entire forging process takes several weeks, but the timeline will vary based on the complexity and volume of parts we produce. When you request a quote, we’ll provide our best timeline estimate.
