Custom Forging Hot-Formed Metal Parts
Our Expert Knowledge of Custom Forging Works For You
Hot forging is a centuries-old process that has evolved into a sophisticated technique in the modern era. The fundamental principle behind hot forging remains the same: it involves heating a metal alloy to a high temperature, then shaping it into a desired form through the application of force. However, the advancements in engineering skills and specialized machinery have transformed hot custom forging into a precise and reliable manufacturing process.
One of the most significant advantages of custom forging is the exceptional strength and toughness it imparts to the final product. As the metal is shaped through the forging process, its internal grain structure is deformed and conforms to the shape of the part being produced. This results in a continuous grain structure throughout the part, which significantly enhances its mechanical properties. This continuous grain structure contributes to the superior strength and durability of custom forgings, making them ideal for applications where structural integrity and reliability are crucial.
Custom forging can reduce the need for expensive alloys. By utilizing the inherent strengthening effects of the forging process, it is possible to achieve the required material properties with a less costly alloy, leading to cost savings without compromising performance. This makes custom forging a cost-effective solution for many industries and applications.
Some advantages of custom forging:
- Improved Strength and Toughness
- Uniform Composition
- No Porosity
- No Shrinkage
- No Cavities
- No Cold Pour Issues.
- Less Need for Expensive Alloys
When considering the long-term benefits of custom forging, it becomes evident that it can offer a lower overall cost compared to alternative manufacturing methods such as casting or fabrications. The initial investment in custom forging may seem higher, but when you account for factors like procurement, lead time, rework, and the costs associated with scrap, downtime, and quality issues, the advantages of custom forging outweigh the short-term cost savings of other methods.
Typical components produced through hot formed forging technology encompass a wide range of products, including clevis balls, screws, nuts, bolts, and many others, but Tengco can offer thousands of different custom forgings for a diverse set of applications and industries.
