Forgings can be nearly any shape, which reduces the need for joining multiple pieces. Reducing the joint can improve the overall strength of the unit as the forging does not need to be welded or otherwise fastened together.


Previous:Forgings are stronger. Castings do not have strengthening benefits yielded by hot and cold forgings. Forging surpasses casting in predictable strength properties and produces superior simultaneously more ductile and resistant pieces with uniform quality assured across the production run.
Next:The forging process creates parts that are stronger than those manufactured by any other metalworking process. Forging takes advantage of the metal’s natural grain flow, shaping the grain flow to conform to the contours of each part’s unique geometry. This grain flow contouring is lost when cutting through the grain by machining it and is also lost when casting parts. Forging offers a single piece versus a welded unit, as the weld quality can be hard to replicate without additional inspection.
