Open-die Forging

Open-Die Forging Services provide custom forging solutions for high-integrity components.

Key Specifications

Production Range: 10kg to 150 tons
Materials: Carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, super alloys
Key Benefits: Enhanced strength, flexible design, cost-effective for custom batches
Primary Applications: Energy, heavy machinery, oil & gas

Improved Material Properties

Fatigue & Strength: Plastic deformation refines grain structure (eliminating casting defects) to lift fatigue life and mechanical strength.
Fiber Orientation: Directed metal flow forms oriented fibers, enhancing impact/fatigue resistance—ideal for high-stress parts (e.g., aircraft engine shafts).

Process Flexibility

Handles oversized workpieces (e.g., nuclear power pressure vessel rings) that closed-die forging cannot.
Forms complex shapes via multiple forging passes/blank adjustments, suiting small-batch or custom needs.

Balanced Cost & Efficiency

Low tooling cost: Uses simple anvils (no high-precision molds), cutting initial investment.
Fast turnaround: Fits urgent/short-run orders, skipping mold development wait times.

Expanded Applications

Heavy Machinery: Ship crankshafts, large gear blanks
Energy & Aerospace: Titanium alloy preforms, wind turbine main shafts
