STEEL FORGINGS

Forgings need to be consistent in each piece, without any porosity, inclusions or other defects. The components produced by this method have a high ratio of strength to weight. These elements are commonly used in aircraft structures.

The advantages of forgings include stretchable length and shrinkable cross-section; shrinkable length and stretchable cross-section; changeable length and changeable cross-section. The types of forgings are: free forging/hand forging, hot die forging/precision forging, upsetting, roll forging and die forging.
