Open-die forging

Perfect for manufacturing individual and small series parts. (Inspiration)

Open-die forging generally does not require any special tools, which means there are no tool and set-up costs. Components with excellent mechanical properties, outstanding strength and high loading capacity can be manufactured due to the optimised design of the grain flow. A large range of diverse components can be realised in the combination with drop forging and ring rolling.

The benefits of open-die forging

• Flexible shaping (Inspiration)
• Programmable and reproducible forging processes
• Not tied to specific tools – and therefore low set-up costs
• More complex shapes possible with auxiliary tools
• Homogeneous, fine-grained, flawless structure
• Optimised grain flow
• Outstanding mechanical properties
• Tough, durable components
• Economical use of materials
• Attractive even for individual pieces
• Wide range of materials
