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
