Capability

We have 750T and 500T presses with induction heating facilities capable of producing near nett shape forgings up to 7 Kgs in weight with extruded diameters up to 120 mm.

Benefits

Warm forging offers the following benefits

• Optimization of raw material - minimum waste

• Potential to reduce machining time

• Produces a product of excellent dimensional accuracy

• Significant tolerance advantage over conventional hot forging

• Process produces a flashless forging with superior grain flow

• Centres can be incorporated as part of the process eliminating the need for primary facing and centring operations

• Less energy consumption in the forging process - reduced costs

Typical applications

Powertrain products and drives - pinions, hubs, shafts and bevel gears

Motors – shafts, sprockets, splines and gears

Actuators – complex shafts
