Forging, an age-old metalworking technique, continues to excel as a remarkably effective method even today. At its essence, forging involves shaping raw metal without completely melting it, keeping it solid while an operator skillfully applies techniques such as hammering, rolling, or pressing. Though numerous forging variations exist, each with unique advantages, the common thread is heating the workpiece to high temperatures, facilitating the shaping process with remarkable precision.

When compared to casting and other metalworking methods, forging stands out for delivering superior physical attributes, notably a high tensile strength, all while being cost-effective. These advantages stem from alterations in the metal's grain; since the metal isn't melted, the applied percussive or compressive forces during forging guide the grain to follow the intended flow of the finished piece. This results in components that are significantly stronger than their machined or casted counterparts.

CMC Forge is dedicated to bringing these exceptional advantages to clients across various industries by offering an extensive suite of expert forging services tailored to a wide array of applications.

THE INTRICACIES OF THE FORGING PROCESS

The forging process encompasses numerous subtypes, with specific steps that may vary depending on the product. Generally, however, most forging operations adhere to a similar foundational outline.

• Forging fundamentally relies on dies for compressing and shaping metal, thus selecting the most effective tools is crucial to achieving the desired shape. Often, custom die design is essential to ensure the final product perfectly meets expectations. For larger production volumes, this step can involve designing and producing multiple specialized dies for purposes such as flattening, forming, or cutting.
• Upon completing the planning and toolmaking stages, the process of metalworking can commence. The initial step involves cutting the billet, or workpiece, to the appropriate size. Following this, it must be heated to the correct temperature, preparing it for the forming stage.
• At this juncture, different forging methods start to diverge. Based on the chosen method, the billet might be heated and pressed between dies, placed into a molded cavity for compression, or worked manually with hammers at room temperature in a technique known as cold forging.
• Subsequent finishing procedures may be required. For instance, certain dies can create flashing that necessitates trimming to achieve the final precision.
