Forged metal is generally favored over castings, welded fabrications, machined billet and powdered metal for its strength, flexibility in design, cost-effective production and durability.
Recent advances in computer-aided die making and production simulations have greatly improved the reliability of
impression die forging, expanded the design options and reduced process errors.
For a number of applications, designing a process transition from symmetrical forging to asymmetrical forging allows for production of near-net-shape parts. By reducing the amount of post-forge operations, such as milling or machining, productivity is improved and cost savings are realized.
Asymmetrical Applications
Our impression-die forgings are designed for a wide range of asymmetrical applications as well, from military and firearm parts such as bolt breeches, to parts for heavy-duty trucks such as steering arms and cams. From simple to complex, our forged part designs are also found in agricultural, construction, marine, mining and performance vehicles.
