Drop forging
Drop forging is a highly productive, tool-dependent forming process and thus enables a considerably greater variety of forms than open-die forging. (Inspiration)
This makes it possible to manufacture components with a very low machining allowance or ready-to-use raw parts. Due to the tool costs entailed, drop forging is primarily suitable for the manufacture of parts produced in runs. A large range of diverse components can be realised in the combination with ring rolling and open-die forging. The components have optimum grain flow, fine surfaces, high dimension accuracy and outstanding mechanical properties.
The benefits of drop forging
- Variety of forms (Inspiration)
- Appropriate grain flow
- Economical use of materials
- Near net shape or net shape
- High degree of precision
- Homogeneous, fine-grained, flawless structure
- Sealed tight against gas and liquids
- Extremely tough and durable components
- Wide range of materials
