Drop forging materials
Durable and pore-free components by drop forging
Drop forging creates forgings with an optimal fiber alignment and first-class strength. The forgings convince through a homogeneous, dense structure, which has neither pores nor other cavities.
Forgings are reproducible with only one tool in large numbers at constant precision.
With over 30 years of experience in drop forging, we have excellent expertise in this field and are the ideal manufacturer for you. According to your ideas and goals, we determine the process, alloy and the properties of the component in a joint consultation.
Background of drop forging
How does massive forming work? What is the background of the forging process? We would be happy to give you a comprehensive overview.
In drop forging, a piece of metal is separated from a semi-finished product, heated to its forging temperature and shaped in a die by hammer blows. The upper and lower dies contain the desired shape as a negative. Excess metal is pushed into the so-called ridge. Therefore, the forgings must be deburred afterwards.
