Forging of a component is a metals working process that involves shaping a heated metals using compressive forces. It is commonly used to create complex-shaped parts that require exceptional strength and durability.
Forging is commonly classified based on the temperature at which it is carried out, which includes cold, warm, or hot forging.
Description :
Forgings made from Copper-based alloys have numerous advantages compared to products made using other manufacturing processes. Firstly, it imparts superior mechanical properties to the forged part, such as increased strength, toughness, and resistance to fatigue. This is because the process refines the grain structure of the metals, aligns the internal fibers, and eliminates defects, resulting in a more uniform and homogeneous material.
There are different types of forging processes, including open-die forging and closed-die forging. In open-die forging, the metals is shaped between flat or contoured dies, while closed-die forging involves the use of shaped dies that completely enclose the metals. Both methods have their specific applications based on the complexity and volume of the components being produced.
