What is Forging?

Metal Forging is a typical manufacturing process of shaping metal using localized compressive forces, it is usually performed with forging tools like hammers or presses. Main materials used for the metal forging process including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, iron, aluminum, and titanium. Forged parts can range in weight from less than a kilogram to hundreds of metric tons. The common equipment and tools used for forging are hammer and anvil. The hammer is attached to an anvil, during the forging process, it is raised and dropped into the workpiece to add force. The most common types of forging processes are cold forging and hot forging.

Common Types of Metal Forging Process

There are plenty of forging techniques, each with its advantages and drawbacks.

  • Cold forging: refers to metal forging at room temperature, compared to hot forging, cold forging take advantage of dimensional control, product uniformity, surface finish, and contamination. Cold forging involves different techniques such as bending, extruding, cold drawing, and cold heading. Cold forging is more suitable for handling softer materials, higher productivity and interchangeability can be offered. Cold forging also brings more precise tolerances than hot or warm forging.
  • Hot forging: it needs to heat the metal above the recrystallization temperature, due to high temperature decreases the yield strength increases ductility, hot forging can reduce the required energy to form the metal and avoid hardening, also eliminate the chemical inconsistencies. Most metals are processed with hot forging, metal is more pliable with extreme heat.
  • Closed die forging: also known as impression die forging, in the process, the metal is put in a die, the hammer is dropped on the workpiece, leading to the metal flow and fill the die cavities, excess metal is squeezed out of the die and them forming flash, the flash cools faster than the rest of the material and helps prevent more flash generated, this also forces the metal fill the cavity completely. When the forging process is finished, the flash will be removed.
  • Open die forging: also known as smith forging, involves the use of two dies usually flat in shape, the dies do not enclose the workpiece, which allows it to flow everywhere except where it contacts the dies, the operator needs to orient and position the part to get the desired shape. The main benefits of open die forging are continuous grain flow, reduced voids, increased strength and fatigue resistance, improved microstructure, finer grain size, and better internal quality. Open-die forgings can be worked into discs, hubs, blocks, shafts, sleeves, cylinders, flats, plates, and some custom shapes.
  • Press Forging: involves slowly applying a continuous pressure or force, which can be used to perform all types of metal forging. The main advantage of press forging is that it can deform the whole workpiece and control the internal strain by controlling the compression rate of die forging operation.

Advantages of Metal Forgings

  • Forging can produce stronger parts than casting or machining. Continuous texture variation improves the strength characteristics.
  • Lower total cost can be realized through forging services compare with castings or fabrication. The long-term benefits of forgings make it more economic.
  • Forging provides improved mechanical properties, such as ductility, fatigue, and impact resistance.
  • All metals for forging including ferrous and non-ferrous can be forged, including all types of steel.
  • Greatly reduces the possibility of metallurgical defects such as porosity or alloy segregation that may be found in castings.
  • The required weight to manufacture the part is less, which causes cost savings and shorter machining times.
  • A broad range of shapes and sizes can be forged from simple pieces to complex shapes.

Applications of Forging

Metal for Forging

From basic carbon steels and superalloys to high-integrity nickel alloys, we use a wide variety of high-quality forging metals and can provide excellent forging solutions tailored to the specific needs of various industries and projects, meeting a wide range of stringent specifications:

Carbon Steel Forgings:

Carbon steel is one of the most common forging materials. It features good forgeability and mechanical properties and is highly praised for its low cost, high strength, and good wear resistance. The carbon content in carbon steel ranges from 0.06% to 1.5%, and it can be classified into low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, and high carbon steel. As the carbon content increases, the hardness and wear resistance of the steel gradually improve, while plasticity and toughness correspondingly decrease. Different carbon content materials can be selected as needed. Carbon steel forgings have high strength and good wear resistance, suitable for manufacturing various parts such as bearings, gears, bolts, etc. For example, in the aerospace sector, many parts like aircraft landing gears and fuselage frames may use steel forgings; some key shaft components in automobile engines also use steel forgings.

Aluminum Forgings:

Aluminum forgings are lightweight, high-strength mechanical parts with excellent formability, weldability, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity. They are widely used in aerospace, automotive, steel, power, and shipbuilding industries. For instance, in aerospace, some structural components use aluminum forgings to reduce weight while maintaining strength; in automotive manufacturing, aluminum forgings are used on some body parts to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel efficiency.

Stainless Steel Forgings:

Stainless steel forgings offer excellent corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and mechanical properties. Stainless steel materials for forging include 300 series (303, 304, 316, 317, etc.), 400 series (410, 420, 400c),  and hardneing stainless steel. They are widely used in chemical, food processing, medical devices, and architectural decoration fields. For example, some valves and pipe fittings in chemical pipelines may be made from stainless steel forgings to resist chemical corrosion; parts in food processing equipment also use stainless steel forgings to meet hygiene and corrosion resistance requirements.

Tool Steel Forgings:

Tool steel has high hardness, wear resistance, and the ability to maintain a sharp edge. After forging, it is used to produce molds, castings, and cutting tools. High carbon alloy tool steel is the most commonly used forging die steel, with high hardness and wear resistance. Common high carbon alloy tool steels include T7. T8. T10. T12. etc. These steels have a high carbon content and are suitable for making punching dies, shear dies, cold extrusion dies, etc.

Nickel Alloy Forgings:

Nickel-based alloys are high-temperature alloys with characteristics such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, and high toughness. They are widely applied in petroleum, aerospace, chemical, nuclear energy, and other fields. For example, in aerospace engines, high-temperature parts like turbine disks require nickel-based alloy forgings to meet demanding performance requirements under hot and complex environments. In petroleum extraction, some downhole tools facing high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive environments also use nickel-based alloy forgings.

Titanium Alloy Forgings:

Titanium alloy forgings have excellent properties such as low density, high strength, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. They are widely used in aerospace, for example, in aircraft engine blades and fuselage structural parts; in the medical field, due to their good biocompatibility, they are used for manufacturing implants such as artificial joints.
