Forging

Open die forgings or hand forgings are made with repeated blows in an open die, where the operator manipulates the work piece in the die. The finished product is a rough approximation of the die. This is what a traditional blacksmith does, and is an old manufacturing process. We are backed up with Forging Hammers from 1 Ton to 5 Ton Capacity and Presses of 4400 T and 1600 T.

Impression die forgings and precision forgings are further refinements of the blocker forgings. The finished part more closely resembles the die impression. We have pneumatic hammers for doing the Impression Die Forgings.

Press forging use a slow squeezing action of a press, to transfer a great amount of compressive force to the work piece. Unlike an open-die forging where multiple blows transfer the compressive energy to the outside of the product, press forging transfers the force uniformly to the bulk of the material. This results in uniform material properties and is necessary for large weight forgings. Parts made with this process can be quite large as much as 125 kg (260 lb) and 3m (10 feet) long.

Upset forging increases cross-section by compressing the length, this is used in making heads on bolts and fasteners, valves and other similar parts. We are backed up with Forging Up setters from 1.5 Inch to 15 Inch Dia.
