Forging & Forming
Forging and forming processes shape material using compressive force rather than removing it, generally producing components with improved strength and grain structure compared to machining from bar stock alone. We coordinate forging and forming through our partners, depending on the component's material, shape, and load requirements.
Forgings
Components shaped by compressive deformation for improved strength.
Details →Open Die Forgings
Forging between flat or simple dies for larger or custom shapes.
Details →Closed Die Forgings
Forging within a shaped die cavity for near-net-shape components.
Details →Drop Forgings
Forging using repeated hammer blows to shape the workpiece.
Details →Precision Forgings
Forgings held to tighter dimensional tolerance, reducing downstream machining.
Details →Hot Forging
Forging performed at elevated temperature for easier material deformation.
Details →Cold Forging
Forging performed at room temperature for improved strength and surface finish.
Details →Metal Spinning
Forming of rotationally symmetric parts by spinning sheet metal over a mandrel.
Details →Rolling
Shaping of metal stock by passing it through rollers.
Details →Press Forming
Forming of sheet or plate into shape using press tooling.
Details →Deep Drawing
Press forming of sheet metal into cup-shaped or hollow components.
Details →Cold Forming
Metal forming performed at room temperature.
Details →Hot Forming
Metal forming performed at elevated temperature.
