Forging

Forging is the process you choose when the part cannot afford to fail. The grain structure that develops during forging, aligned to the shape of the component rather than cut through, as it is in machined bar stock, is what gives forged parts their strength advantage. For critical load-bearing applications, structural parts, and components under cyclic stress, forging isn’t a cost decision. It’s an engineering one.

We offer both open-die and closed-die forging across hot and cold processes, using hammer and press forging methods. Press capacity runs up to 1600T, covering a meaningful range of part sizes and cross-sections. Hot forging handles complex shapes in materials that require elevated temperatures to flow correctly, steels, alloy steels, aluminium, copper, and titanium-adjacent grades. Cold forging is the choice when tighter dimensional tolerances and better surface finish are needed without post-process machining, typically on smaller, simpler cross-sections where the material can be worked at room temperature without cracking.

Open-die forging gives us the flexibility to work large, irregular shapes and produce near-net forms for parts that would be impractical to closed-die forge at low volumes. Closed-die forging delivers the repeatability and dimensional consistency required for medium-to-high volume production programs where part-to-part variation needs to stay within tight limits. We work across ferrous and non-ferrous materials, and our capability spans development quantities through full-scale production runs.
