Why Forging Services is Known as the Solid Backing of Industrial Strength

Forging services, an ancient yet core metal forming process, still plays an indispensable role in modern industrial systems. Professional forging service providers offer a variety of material shaping solutions for the manufacturing industry, primarily covering three core areas:

1. Free Forging Services: This is the most basic forging service. Under the forging hammer or press, experienced forgers use tools to control the direction and degree of metal deformation in real time. Its advantage lies in its flexibility, eliminating the need for expensive specialized dies. It is particularly adept at producing large and ultra-large forgings, such as giant shafts, rolls, marine crankshafts, and various special-shaped single-piece or small-batch products that cannot be molded. Its powerful plastic deformation capabilities enhance the inherent quality of the material.

2. Die Forging Services: This is a core method of modern mass production. Precise upper and lower cavities are prefabricated before forging. The heated metal billet is placed within these dies, and then, under strong impact or continuous pressure, the metal is forced to fill the die cavity and form. Die forgings feature complex shapes, precise dimensions, smooth surfaces, minimal stock removal, and high production efficiency, making them ideal for the high-volume, high-demand manufacturing of parts such as automotive engine crankshafts, connecting rods, gear blanks, and aerospace structural components.

3. Specialty Forging Services: Targeting higher-end or specialized performance requirements, a variety of precision forging technologies have been developed:

* Precision Die Forging/Net Shape Forging: Minimizes or eliminates the need for post-processing, achieving extremely high dimensional accuracy.

* Isothermal Forging/Superplastic Forging: Maintaining similar temperatures between the die and the blank, this process is used for forging extremely difficult-to-deform aerospace materials such as titanium alloys and high-temperature alloys, enabling the production of extremely complex, thin-walled parts.
