Open die forging

Open die forging

Open die forging is the best choice when large components of the material, with high exacting internal conditions (homogeneity), are required.

Benefits

• Small quantities
• Large parts
• No/low investment costs
• Long/big items can be forged
• Homogeneous material
• High strength

Possible alloys

• Alloy steel
• Steel
• Tool steel
• Stainless steel and duplex grades (such as 304 (L) or 316 (L)
• Aluminium alloys
• Bronze alloys
• Copper alloys

Technical specifications

• Weight: from 2 kg to hundreds of kilograms
• Wide tolerances
• Maximum dimensions: several meters

Finishing options

• Electrolytic zinc plating
• Hot-dip galvanising
• Blasting
• Primer, wet painting and powder coating
