Forging Services
The forging metal forming process has been practiced since the Bronze Age. Hammering metal by hand can be dated back over 4000 years ago. The purpose, as it still is today, was to change the shape and/or properties of metal into useful tools.
Forging changes the size and shape, but not the volume, of a part. Our Open Die process is still the preferred method for individual forgings. This process results in: metallurgical soundness and improved mechanical properties. Strength, toughness, and general durability depend upon the way the grain is placed. Hammer forging can produce a wide variety of shapes and sizes and, if sufficiently reduced, can create a high degree of grain refinement at the same time.
